How to
Ready to start your own Red Swing Project?
The following information is our suggestions for how to hang a red swing. Please follow the instructions in our how-to video below.
*any individual who hangs a red swing accepts responsibility for the safety of that swing.
Here are some important things to remember
- Whatever you hang a swing from should be VERY sturdy and parallel to the ground. (safety first)
- Choose wood that is thick (1.5 inch) and wide (2 feet) enough for a large adult.
- Use half inch diameter rope with minimal ‘stretchiness.’
After the swing is hung, email us at redswingproject@gmail.com with the following information or tag the swing picture on facebook and we will add it to our website.
- Where it is hung – (intersection/address, city, state, country)
- Pictures of the swing or a link to the pictures elsewhere.
Welcome to the project!
We look forward to collaborating with you.
