A Hollywood swing is a relatively simple way to extend the infrastructure of a campsite. It can also be easily set up with children.
Material required
- 2 military sheets
- sturdy crossbar (approx. 4 to 5 meters)
- 4 round timbers
- 6 binding ropes
- 2 short ropes (3 to 4 meters)
Structure
- The first step is to construct the wooden frame. To do this, the 4 round timbers are tied together at the corners with the circle collar or the cross collar.
- The two military sheets are then buttoned together around this frame.
- The crosspiece is now attached to two trees with two cross bindings. The crossbar must be attached high enough so that the swing hangs in the air.
- Finally, the swing is hung up. To do this, attach one rope on the left and one on the right to the upper beam of the wooden frame. The rope is now attached to the crossbeam with a double sling. The other ends of the ropes are then attached to the lower beam of the wooden frame.
