Double Garden Swing Frame, sturdily built using traditional timber framing method’s and sturdy Green Oak

The double garden swing frame has been designed to give all the fun of the swings down the park, but in your very own back garden! Swing frames are hand made to order. They are constructed using pegged mortise and tenon joints, making the frame very strong indeed. Not only are they strong and stable enough for children to use, but adults can have a good old swing on them too! The Oak garden swing frame has been thoughtfully designed to compliment any garden.

The A-frame

The double garden swing frame’s construction has been inspired by timber framing. Timber framing is a process used when building houses. Many timber framed houses can still be found standing 200+ years after they were first built. Pegged mortise and tenon joints tie the legs of the frame and the cross bars together.

The frame is built using Green Oak. It is durable, strong and over time will weather naturally. Green oak is freshly sawn timber (meaning it has been felled within the last 18 months). The moisture content in the timber is still quite high. Over time, as the timber dries out, natural cracks will form and the timber will change colour to a wonderful silvery grey, as the swing weathers. The weathering process adds real character to the frame making each and every one truly unique.

The seats

Three of our tree swing styles are available on the double garden swing frame, Classic, Curve and Woodland. All three styles are available in three different sizes on the frames:

Child’s: 550×200     Midi: 650×220     Adult: 750×240

Extra holes are drilled in the A-frame beam allowing for upgrading to larger seats in the future. Bespoke seat sizes are also available, just drop us an email or call us on 01449 741744 to discuss your needs further. All of the seats are made from seasoned oak and utilise synthetic hemp ropes.  For more detailed information on the different styles of seat see our tree swing range.

As well as the standard seats we also offer Baby and Toddler swings as an additional option. Please get in touch if you’d like one of these for your frame.

Safety

All of our double garden swing frames are built with safety in mind. The swing itself is extremely stable, but to further enhance this we offer high powered ground anchors too. Ground anchors are 30cm long, corkscrew shaped fixings which are driven into the ground at each foot and then attached to the leg of the frame. Ground anchors eliminate the chance of the frame rocking back or forth.

The double swing frame has also been built to comply with the european safety standard EN1176. This means the frame has relevant safe spaces between the swings, and between the swings and frame. Quality bushed hinges are also used to provide a perfectly smooth swinging action.

A-frame dimensions:

Foot print: 4m wide x 2.1m deep. (based on Adult size swing seats)
