Making my second tire swing with this video 7 years later! Can't believe I found this video again so easily!!!

I just recently built this and I have to say it was a breeze!! The video had no runarounds or incessant talking, just straight to the point and got the job done well! Thanks for the informative video, my kids love this swing!😊

This is the best instructional video for building a tire swing - safe and easy to build with parts from hardware stores. I built a swing in my backyard by following the instructions here. It's been more than a month now and it's working great - thanks for spreading the knowledge

Fallowed every single steps now my kids are enjoying every night in their new swing. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

Definitely after watching a few tire swing videos this was seems like the simplest and the best! Thanks for the idea!

Thanks so much!! Love how little hardware this requires and that there’s no metal parts the kids will be touching. Just made this with my husband and our kids love it!

This is like watching the dad I always wanted teach me something!! Like asmr for my soul!! ❤️

I rarely ever comment, but kudos this is a great video and it's nice to see a quality diy video that puts the kids safety first.

After veiwing several different videos for tire swings, this one, without a doubt, is the best, safest and most cost efficient of all! Thanks a MIL!

One of the best instructional videos on KZfaq. No gabbing and wasting time about things that have nothing to do with the project. Straightforward simple instructions. Thank you

This was great!!! I got a used tire free from the tire shop, a used rope from my son who climbs, a throw away tube from the bike shop. Spent about $11 on the hardware, and it went together easily. Grandkids played on it and love it. It swings wide but not high, spins as much as the kids want. Perfect. Thanks!

Hi Chris - I just rigged up a tire swing for my grandchildren, following your example TO THE LETTER. Great video, great tire swing, THANK YOU!

Magnificent instruction. Thank you. My granddaughters are going crap themselves. I think my limb is 30 feet from the ground.

Ha! I love that there are ads under the video for purchasing (less well-conceived) commercial tire swing hardware. Nicely made ;)

Best tire-swing plans on the Internet. Easy to follow, simple to make, and they are free. This swing works perfectly. Thank you for posting this video!

Had to relocate one made a year ago from these instructions today. Never had a problem, kids, adults all been on it. New one up and running in 20 minutes. Thanks!

I made this yesterday for my 3 year old daughter; it took about an hour of time and works great! After watching a few how-to videos I settled on this one because it seemed simple and sturdy, and that's exactly what it is! Thanks so much for the video.

Phenomenal setup. I made this exact tire swing at my local park for all the kids. Thanks so much

Did this in 20min for $30...already had tire...very simple and straight forward directions...thank you for sharing

I have Rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and still found this very easy to make. It took me 2 days of 2 hrs each day and ... done. Very durable, safe. The neighborhood kids simply abused it, standing, jumping, spinning , swinging with no ill effects. I did have to adjust it after the rompust as the knots tightened, the swing was then almost touching the ground. very easy to adjust back up and straighten it out. Highly recommend this method. I added a seat by cutting and then inserting a composite vinyl lattice, drilled some holes around the top of the tire and then wove clothesline rope in and out of the tire and lattice, the kids love it! I love it , it is safe.

I made this for my 3 year old daughter and she loves it! Thank you for such brilliant and easy to follow instructions.

You explained everything perfectly! The way you demonstrate makes the project more motivating

Mine came out perfect! Thank you so much. Really clear and to the point! Your directions are so easy to follow

Aloha, Chris. Thank you for another well-made video. A few notes for my build, I used the black Everbilt 1/2" Dock Line (working load of 650 lbs.) at Home Depot. It conveniently has a loop at the end of one side. For others who are building this swing, do not put too many layers of electrical tape otherwise you will have issues feeding it through a 1/2" stainless steel washer. And do NOT take off the tape after the rope has been cut. Each individual strand will fray and you won't be able to put the end of the line back together. No biggie though, I had to tape the line higher up and cut the frayed pieces off. Lastly, I thought I could just get away with tying knots inside the tire and skimp the additional hardware like the rope clamps, etc. -- although I did use the giant washers. Truthfully, it would work, but it makes it difficult to adjust and level. Anyway, I'm off to the Depot this morning to get those clamps. Oh, and I did go by a local Firestone and asked if I could have a tire. They gladly gave me one. 👍🏼

I made it! The only difference was the very first step, I used a POOL vinyl drain tube as I had extra and since the tree was short enough, I was able to just lay it over the tree with the rope inside, quick knott bringing both vinyl ends together as you did prior to tossing the wrench over and then continued to follow your instructions to the T and I LOVE it, oh, forgot, trimmed the remaining rope down and taped so the ropes weren’t just hanging around! But like I was saying, I really like it, I feel like it’s totally safe and secure! Thank you for the easy to follow instructions! Total cost was $30 but only because I paid $10 more for the pretty rope color lol, aesthetics is everything after all :)

Terrific instructions. Couldn't be more clear and easy to follow.

I really appreciate your time to do this this way, I was also thinking the same thing about the metal clamps and brackets. im definitely going to use your design. Thanks!

Good stuff..now i need a tree....and a backyard lol

Just finished making this for my twin girls. I looked all over the internet for a good diy tire swing and this one seemed the easiest, and most importantly the safest for my kids. Thank you for sharing!! They love it!!

Great video! Very easy to follow, and no extra filler. Straight to the point!!!

Thanks for this awesome video. I built one for my 10 yr old following these instructions and they work great. The best part is that this setup seems very safe for kids.

Thank you! Such a great and simple-to-follow tutorial. Going to buy the materials today; I'll post an update when finished to let y'all know how it turned out!

Thanks!!! I made one exactly as instructed. My kids love it!

Worked perfect for me. Thanks Chis!!

This is the BEST tyre swind DIY on YT honestly!!my husband did this for our daughter and its super safe and her favorite toy!!Thank You!!

Hi Chris. I rarely leave comments but couldn’t not after this. It was one of the first videos I came across when we decided to try to do a tyre swing for the kids. Getting the rope was the main challenge but the design and execution as so easy with your descriptions - and the kids love it. Use the extra climbing rope to build a standard bench swing with a piece of left over decking and a trapeze - it’s quite a busy tree now! Thanks again.

Nice job!!...I made one for the grandson using an old atv tire. I would recommend take a 1" hole saw and putting 4 to 5 holes in the bottom of the tire for water drainage. I also fitted a piece of plywood inside so our 3 year old can sit inside it on a cushion. I agree with you...rope is MUCH better than chains or cable. Great video...thanks.

Amazing video chris im going to try this for my kids 😊

Thanks for the idea, today I made exactly same for my grand kids and they love it.

Great video thank you so much for making this video very easy to follow along. The best tire swing instructions I could have ever asked for!

Thank you for the instruction video. A WELL DONE video. A safe and fun backyard activity.

Great method, mine turned out good. I also drilled some drain holes on the bottom for rain water.

This video is a work of art:)

I love this! ❤️ Thank you so much. Just finished making it and it’s perfect. 🌳

Excellent method, simple and effective. I'm making this at our nearby park. Thanks!

This worked perfectly for me. Thank you!!!

Wow I am searching this type of swing for my kids and yeah I like your video and this became very perfect thanks

Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you!

Excellent video, thank you. My partner followed your instructions down to the last word and made a tire swing for my daughter. She loves it! Greeting from Argentina!

Great vid! Thank you.

thank you my son loves it!!

Great video, thank you so much! We finished ours in under two hours

Just built this yesterday. Not as hard as I thought it would be before watching this. my 3 boys love it. Dad doesn't mind taking his turn either.

Excellent video. Thanks!

Just did this right now.. came out great! Used a 300 lbs work force Rope..

Thank you. I made this for my grandkids.

Just made mine! The kids love it! Thank you

Thanks for a great idea and video!

I did this today for my boys and they love it! I've been procrastinating over a method for the best part of a year and this makes it so simple, safe and easy to change if we want to. Thanks!!

Dudes very safe and very thorough

I am going to do it this waym for our summer camp. Thank you

Thank you Chris. We made one swing today, and another one is comming! ❤️🙌🏻

I made this yesterday took me about an hour, and it was worth it my kids loved it! Thank you!

Just acquired some old tires from my work gonna clean em up and do this for my nieces and nephews

Thank you for sharing your gifts!

I wish there was a list of all the items to buy! Great video.

Loved it.. thank you dear😍

Did this earlier today, my kids are the reason why and your video is the how. Many a thank you to you sir.

Awesome and easy pretty good 👍👍

This is great but I'd use a running bowline on the branch and a figure 8 for the stopper knots.

Thank you - brilliant instructions. Easy to follow and everything is easy to buy. Kids loving it!

Awesome video! So much value in it. I'm going to set this up this weekend. Thanks!

Took me 20min. Came out perfect. Awesome video

Very nice video. Your knot was a great idea and worked awesome! I used 2x3’s with a hole inside my tire instead of buying washers and crosby clamps. Worked good. Thanks!

Would a good measurement be from ground to the limb plus 10 feet 2x5ft for each additional tie to the tire seem good?? Also, thank you this was a great tutorial. Would you burn the ends to keep them from fraying or is tape good enough?

Sweet! The only think I would add is to drill holes in the bottom so that water drains out... of course we get close to 200 inches a year, so maybe you don't need to worry about that... :)

gave me some good ideas. ty

Awesome.

Would the knot work for the old vertical tire swing with one rope? I'm having a lot of trouble trying to tie a knot .

Thanks your video helped me out a lot

Amazed, thank you for sharing! I will attempt to build one for my daughter.😊

thank you ser im going to try this i like this idea

Great video a+

Nice job bro 👍🏻

Awesome video. Thanks. I was about to go buy chain and eye bolts. This is way easier. The bike tube idea answered another question.

Well done 👍 my friend.greatings from Greece

very good.

Sure helped thanks

GREAT VIDEO

Thanks for the video. May I ask you a question? Does it work with a natural rope? Thanks for the answer.

HI, could you tell me what type of rope you used. It looks like double braided polyester. I found several types of ropes no higher than 400 work load but when you tie knots it reduces it to 50% (200). Thanks

Thanks we wanted to know how to make it bc we have a hang out place and we wanted that so thank you

Hi! My family is looking to make one and was wondering what extra precautions we would have to take since the oldest kids are around 14-15.

Good video, thanks Chris!

Nice Video. Thank you very much!

Thanks brother.

Could you post a supply list for this project? Thank you for sharing the video! It's clear and simple. Looking forward to building it.

awesome, thanks. I'm doing this
