Very true. Sorry for not including that. No creaking or moving that I could see when in use. I believe we may have gone a bit over kill on the concrete holding the posts but better save than sorry. Thanks!
very helpful. I don't build things, but I want to so I was watching this to teach myself how. I am building a 18-20 ft long by 8 foot wide up against my house. at one of the narrow ends is my back door. the other end I want a swing. Do you have any suggestions about additional support since it is much bigger. I only need one swing though.
The width is 10x10 and the posts are 8ft above ground and you will want to place 2-3feet down into the ground. we used 12ft for the vertical posts and 10ft for the horizontal beams. Thanks!
Do you think that gravel is still gravel once you pour in the concrete?? I think the concrete turns that gravel into concrete and I don’t think the ends on the post rot because of all that concrete around them lol frost won’t push that big thing out I install fences so kinda dug a lot of holes for 4x4’s here in Pa and it’s not that serious lol ❤🫡
I'm not sure I follow you on the frost line comment. Where I live the frost depth can go as low as 8 feet. My fence does not go this deep and has yet to become affected.
Very odd idea? 🤔 Too many swings🙄 Why not stain it before you erect it? Fire pit too close. 1 swing would suffice and use chairs. Cover the top with pergola rafters and it will look better. 👌
