Does anyone know where to get a tall wooden garden swing, say 8 -10 ft tall?

Hi Yorky

Are you handy with wood?

You could make your own out of three telegraph poles, or similar large poles without creosote...... Dig them into the ground in a wigwam shape and secure them together with bolts at the top.

You could use a tyre on a rope for the swing.

I saw an interesting climbing frame this week made from recycled peices of conveyor belt

Cheers

Ian

Thanks for the replies but I'm looking for an extra tall swing suitable for adults and children alike. I like the idea of the 'pole' type but would not undertake it myself without a plan to follow.
