What size tire did you use? Just wondering since I have a smaller one and wondering if it’s worth it

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

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

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.

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.

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!😊

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

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

This video is a work of art:)

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

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

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

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. 👍🏼

thank you my son loves it!!

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!!

Fantastic!

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 :)

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

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

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

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.

That's great that it worked for you. Yes, it's very easy to re adjust after the first few days of use once everything tightens up. I like your update with the seat. Thanks!

Excellent video. Thanks!

Thanks your video helped me out a lot

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.

You may have missed it but I did put holes in the bottom and have it on the screen at 4:17. The plywood is a great idea! Enjoy!

+Michael Stevens Good to hear. It really is simple and straight forward to make. This is something my boys did on theirs and your boys will probably figure it out too. They would spin it with no one on it until it was wound up about 5 feet off the ground. They would somehow climb and hop on and then it would spin like crazy with them on it as it un-wound. Letting their heads go outwards would slow it down but pulling themselves back in would make it go faster. Hours and hours of fun! Thanks for commenting.

Well done 👍 my friend.greatings from Greece

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!

@leifjohnsenvt

What are 2x3's? Another thing that wasn't mentioned in the video is to make sure you drill drainage holes on the bottom of the tire to prevent water buildup and everything that comes with that.. Mosquitoes etc..
