Create Yourself: Garden Swing KIT

The satisfaction of creating something beautiful and useful from a piece of oak without a workshop!

There is a creative urge in all of us. This is a great place to start exploring it. You never know what other projects and skills it leads to...

This kit contains everything you need to make your own garden swing. You can also see the step by step process as published in Metro. We are the experts on all things gardens swings, so we have created a kit with everything you need to make your own...

Whether you are a frustrated diy'er, a desk bound creative, a child who needs some 'off-screen' sense of achievement, making something with your hands is very therapeutic. The Joy of making is something we want to share with as many people as possible.

"I love seeing how proud people feel when they have transformed a plank into something useful and beautiful that you know is going to be around for a long time..." Jeanette

Each kit costs £100, but if you can buy 3 for £280.

The Kit contains: one oak plank with pre-drilled holes, 8 metre of manila rope, two grades of sand paper, white mineral oil for finishing and as set of clear instructions.

These kits really are suitable for EVERYBODY on your gift list! They are the perfect present for Godchildren, nieces and nephews or your own children.

It makes a perfect hands-on-lets-get-out-and-climb-trees-holiday project!

You can even teach the children in your life to 'push themselves'.

Please note that these swings are strong enough to take the weight of most adults too (depending on the strength of the branch or beam you attach it to), however they are obviously not directly comparable to the Oak & Rope Swings made by our master craftsmen in our workshop.
