Creating a tyre swing in your garden can be a delightful project, offering hours of fun for children and adults alike. To begin, you'll need a sturdy, weather-resistant tyre—preferably one that’s been cleaned thoroughly to remove any grime or debris.

Once you have your tyre, find a strong, healthy tree with a thick branch that extends horizontally and is at least ten feet off the ground. It's important to ensure the branch can withstand the weight and movement of the swing.

To attach the tyre, use robust rope that can bear a significant load. Cut several lengths of rope, each at least twice the height of the branch from where you’ll hang the swing. Securely tie the rope around the tyre, making sure it’s evenly spaced and tightly fastened. A double knot works best for safety.

Next, hoist the tyre up to the branch and secure the free ends of the rope to the branch itself. Make certain the swing hangs at a comfortable height for the intended users, allowing for a gentle sway without dragging the ground.

Finally, test your handiwork by giving the swing a sturdy push. Once you’re satisfied it’s stable, encourage some laughter and enjoyment as family and friends take turns swinging back and forth, creating sweet memories underneath the open sky. Remember to supervise younger children to ensure they play safely!
