Seekadoo: How to Build a Wooden Tree Swing - Illustrated.

Tree and branch: What kind of tree branch? You want a branch that is strong enough to hold the weight of an adult. You want a branch that is far from the trunk so that the swing will not hit the trunk. You want a branch that is not close to any other branches so the rope won't hit anything. Rope: Nylon rope is good because it holds up in weather. Bench: A piece of 2x6 wood for the bench. Eye bolt: Get two heavy duty eye bolts with washers and nuts. Bench Rope: Cut two 4 foot lengths of rope, put them through the bench drill holes, tie simple knots and burn the ends so they don't fray. Swing Ropes: Beautiful Warehouse Conversion in Melbourne.

According to the architects, “this dramatic renovation centres around a spacious internal courtyard defined by natural rock face and lush vegetation. Large sliding glass doors in the main living area enable a seamless flow between inside and outside. The living areas also have the added benefit of glazing on the north façade which opens up the house to the view.
