This plan is for an arbored swing, but the plan can be used for so much more than what you see in the picture. You could harvest this plan for construction ideas for an arbored walkway or for a swing to be hung under a porch. Studying these detailed diagrams for info about basic construction techniques, you may even be able to use this plan to construct a deck cover. The swing is huge by swing standards, at 8' wide. The canopy is 12' wide. You get detailed measured drawings, instructions, and a full list of materials with this plan. It's a project that will become a sturdy landmark in your yard. We have Smooth Springs Hardware to enhance this project!
