A swing with your own hands made of metal: a description of the simple process of their construction
On any dacha site would look good swing. They like both children and adults. You can buy country swings, or you can build them with your own hands of metal, which is not very difficult!
To make a swing with your own hands made of metal,it is necessary to have four metal pipes, electrodes, sand, gravel, cement, hammer, hand drill, rope or chain length of 5 meters. You will also need a gon, a Bulgarian.
Data swing with your own hands of metalare made of two metal triangles, connected together by cross-beams and directly attached to metal pipes, which are concreted into the ground. Optimum use of metal water pipes with a diameter of 1.5 inches. When using pipes with a smaller diameter, the strength of the resulting structure will decrease.
The connection of swing elements is ensured whenwelding assistance or bolts. A connection without the use of welding will require an additional application of a drill. This method is more energy intensive. Therefore, if there is a welding machine available, it is better to weld the pipes together.
The width of the bases of the triangles must be1,2-1,5 meters. To fix this distance, it is necessary for the Bulgarian to cut two pipes having the appropriate length. If the base is 1.2 meters wide, then another four pipes should be cut, the length of which should be 2.57 meters. These pipes will be used as the lateral sides of the triangles of the future swing, built with their own hands of metal. Each end of the sawed pipe needs to be processed with a file or a grinder and remove the burrs.
After assembling the blanks, you must put them onflat plot of land. Using a square piece, you must define a right angle and lay out the existing pipes. After this you need to start welding. To carry out the welding process, the mass of the welding inverter is connected to one of these tubes, and an electrode is attached to the other end. Welding work should be carried out by pre-donning a welding mask. For a more solid anchoring of the base of the triangles, it is necessary to make two holes with a depth of 80 cm in the ground.
In the resulting holes are placed thickmetal pipes and pour a solution, which includes cement (1 bucket), crushed stone (1 bucket), sand (2 buckets). Choose better cement grade M-400. For a stronger connection, you need to withstand a solution for at least a week. After this, it is necessary to weld the lower parts of the future swing to the pipes. To the triangles in the upper part of the swing, it is necessary to weld a pipe, which will perform the function of the beam. A swing is suspended to this pipe. To do this, use a strong thick rope or chain. The length of the chain and rope is chosen at the discretion so that it is convenient to get up from the swing. A swing with your hands made of metal - congratulations!
After all done, it remains only to build a bench or a seat for a swing. To do this, it is necessary to weld metal corners together and attach a wooden flat seat to them.
Thus, you do not need special skills anda lot of time in order to build a swing with your own hands made of metal. As a result, we get a design from the series "Everything for a dacha", which is able to give joy to all family members, whether it be a child or an adult.
