Default Swing set build

Just wanted to post some pics of a swingset that I built for the kids. It's pretty simple and has only cost me $30 so far! I still have plans to build/buy a bench swing and put a swing up for the baby. The swings that are up there are made out of pieces of conveyor belt. They hold up pretty good! It is made out of power poles that have been cut down. The uprights are 5' in the ground and 10' out. The top piece is 21' long . I rounded out the poles with a chainsaw for the top to sit in and bolted the two together with some flat bracing. Plus it will be useful for motor swaps and such! What do you think?

The only thing that would make that more awesome is if you used three truck beds instead of just power poles.

Looks great man! I'm sure your kids will love it.

Thanks man! How about a frame, a cab, and a truck bed? I already have that waiting!
