How to hang a swing

HANGING A SWING from the branch of a tree is a lot easier than it looks. There are just four steps to follow.

  1. Tie a weight, such as a hammer, to the end of a piece of rope and throw it over the branch.
  2. Do the same with the other end of the rope, so you have two ends hanging down one side and a loop on the other.
  3. Thread the two ends through the loop.
  4. Pull it tight, then attach your swing at the bottom.
