Our swing broke (thanks, semi-unresponsible, neighborhood teenager garden-sitter). So my mom got us a tire thinking a tire swing might enhance the rope hanging from our giant tree. I think she was thinking sideways tire, rope tied on, voila, swing.
Mr. H had other ideas. He saw a tire swing with the really nice (won't pinch your fingers, will last forever, perfectly even) chain, several oversize washers, 6 carabeeners and a stainless steel ring.
Very sturdy! Very fun!
