Pergolas swing: types of designs

Cottage is a great place to relax. A gazebo-swing will fit, complement and even improve your pastime at the country site. After all, we all remember how in childhood we loved to swing on a swing, what joy we felt, soaring higher and higher.

In order to allow yourself such a pleasure even in adulthood, it is worth thinking about installing such a recreation area. Making the right choice will help acquaintance with all the features of this fashionable innovation.

Previously, it was believed that the swings are built only for children, but in recent times they have been modernized, changed. In fact, the model in question is a combination of a gazebo and a swing. Most often the device is a swinging floor in a small housein which it will be pleasant to spend time not only for children, but also for an adult. Here you can receive guests, hold special events with home and just retire for thought.

Today's gazebos, swings for giving are relevant in each period of the year.With the support of auxiliary equipment, it is possible to form a paradise in the fresh air, where you can enjoy not only noisy gatherings, but also in pleasant solitude and harmony with nature.

Most children begin to play pranks if they have a wrongly organized rest. Swing arbors provide the correct rest for the childAfter all, not enough what child refuses to swing merrily with family or friends. I also want adults to spend time in good company.

Everyone is well aware of the soothing properties of a rocking chair, but the whole family will not fit in it, unlike our building. Spaciousness of this arbor is much more, it will allow you to easily arrange the whole family for a joint rest.

The market is filled with a variety of species, differing in design, size and material of manufacture. There are companies that develop and manufacture exclusive gazebos and swings.

With a large variety of materials, structures are mainly made of several types:

• metal;
• plastic;
• tree;
• combination of these options.

Consider each option more carefully.

This material is affordable for many customers and completely unpretentious and easy to maintain. The design of plastic light and easy to parse. That allows you to quickly and without any difficulties to transfer to any convenient place at the request of the household.

There are also negative aspects like weak strength and poor stability.

Products from this material possess stability, durability, reliability. Thanks to a special corrosion coating, the product is not afraid of weather conditions and temperature changes. They are installed for a long time, and they do not need to be removed in a warm place for the winter.

In this design, there is one drawback - it is a lot of weight, which reduces mobility. To rearrange the structure you need to disassemble it.. Another disadvantage is the high cost, but this is only for the buyer to judge.

Arbor swing forged metal - a fashionable and modern attribute. Patterns in the original design on the walls and backs will constantly attract the attention of guests.

This option can be called ideal, but without metal parts, it is impossible to make a stable construction correctly.

If your main building is made of wood, then such an arbor will fit well into the interior. Especially if the roof is from the same material. In addition, wood is a strong and durable raw material. Metal and wood constructions are the most popular.

Such designs are made of the two most sought-after materials. Support posts are made of metal profiles or pipes. It is also desirable to make the frame of the metal wall. Appearance, made of rods or pipes, looks strictly and repeats geometric shapes. Gazebo metal looks easy and airy.

The seat itself is made of wood of the required breed and shape.Pick up the shape for the table and seats preferably from the same breed. We fix all the products on the flooring and hang them inside the metal frame. This frame easily maintains the weight of the wooden structure. The roof is made of the same material as the main structure or as an alternative to polycarbonate.

First you need to decide on the main issues:

• how often you intend to use the construct;
• who will use it;
• what load will be when using;
• where will be located.

For a family with children or a large company, swing sofas will do, they will help to avoid conflict and create comfortable conditions. Seat length is optimal up to two meters. Three adults and a couple of children can easily fit into this size.

If the swings are made only for children, the seats will be small and safety measures should be provided from falling out. The greater the weight, the more reliable the structure should be. Triple swings are designed for weight up to 200 kilograms.

For the formation of arbor-swing will require an accurate calculation of all sizes (height, length and width).

Next you need to do the following:

• to make the drawing a swing and arbors;
• should determine the place on the site where the construction will be;
• make a list of necessary materials and their quantity (make a small stock);
• preparing the desired tool.

The method of production of wooden structures:

• with the help of the end-saw, we make blanks of the required length;
• with the help of a circular saw we make for saws under the thorns for locks and we clean them with a chisel;
• We select the slots for the locks using a drill or a manual cutter.

Upon completion of the preliminary work proceed directly to the assembly of parts for the prepared drawings:

• For the thorn-groove connections, we use epoxy glue, coat the locks and squeeze them until they are completely dry. Where fastenings are on dowels, polyurethane glue is used.
• We hang the swing on the beams with the help of chains of the desired length and pre-prepared bolts and rings. You can use and reliable durable cable.
• We process all wooden elements with varnish or paint for protection and decoration.

After doing all of these actions, you can relax with the whole family on a new piece of garden furniture.
