Usual thing in any garden site.

"That's empty swing - it is the subject of a simple"

It would seem that the swing - the usual thing on any garden site. Nothing special, but nice! Types of swings, the materials from which they are made, and their number is on our site in 35 acres of the year changed in a year.

The first swing

Place to swing, we have identified for the main flower bed, and before bed. Thus, they had to separate the landing zone of any greens and carrots and open sitting area - actually swings, large beds and loungers. The first swings on the spot were selected, purchased and installed a swing-sofa: for three, with a soft man coated with a backrest and pillows, roofed by precipitation with a mosquito net and other volatile trouble. We used them with enthusiasm. But for large guests, this model proved to be too unstable and fragile.

The second swing

Day and were purchased swing nearly the same design, but stronger, the canopy fabric, mattress covers and pillows poprochnee, besides railing swings they were designed in the form of tables with grooves for the cup, which was nice and, and convenient. These swings housed and maintained as three adults, but more than an impressive weight.

But there was a need to strengthen them as reliable as possible. We have built in the swing leg in the concrete base on the ground. And those first rocker? Do you think they were out of work? Not. They changed their position quite often. That summer, when we have already taken root in the area, two swings, it was very warm, and I often slept on the street, to those of the first swing. And the husband - on the second, stronger. As time went on, and the first corroded, torn canopy mattress was hopelessly spoiled cats and a dog, who often slept in it at night, when the swing becomes free. I had to part with them.

Swing on the patio 

At that time, there has been the park with three ponds and patios. Patio required once beat and inhabit. We traveled to the neighboring markets, look-searched and found a suitable set of outdoor furniture made from sturdy wood and cast iron - two chairs, a table and a swing under a canopy made of polycarbonate. Sleep on them, of course, has not happened. But to sit, talk, rock, read - just fine. This is typical of garden swing. It looks great in the park and faithfully serving the fourth year.

Wooden monster

But that's not all. The family appeared restless son in law with honors Energy supply engineer. In this case, the key is the word "engineer". And he planned to make the swing again. But it is not just a rocker and swing (with a capital letter!) - massive wooden broad, long (5-6 people) bench with backrest on chains that are attached to the bar, standing between logs-struts. In-law proposed to move the swing of a seating area to the parents' house in another area of ​​the site, and in their place to install a powerful new design. I thought about it and agreed. It was painted drawing, made estimates of the number of necessary materials, all purchased. And there was another building. First, four holes were dug for the pouring of concrete to establish and strengthen the timber tightly-rack. Logs was acquired four - two on each side. It was planned that the rack - one from each concreted pit - will converge at an angle at the top, and the place of their connection will form a log-off. So they did. At the bar chain hung on spacers. On the circuit - bench. Bench knocks separately, under a canopy on the summer terrace, which periodically becomes a construction site. Above swings -huge shed rain from a bent sheet of light brown polycarbonate. It was very dignified, unusual, beautiful and appropriate.

Thus, today we have five swings: a large wooden in a recreation area, garden patio, sofa at home parents and two more children - very unpretentious and small. And the song "Winged swing" we love and we sing all the great family of 4 generations.
