Is My Theme Park Coming Together with a Swing in the Making?
In summary, choosing the right materials for building a swing depends on factors like the type of swing, weight it needs to support, and climate. Safety precautions should be taken, including using high-quality materials and regularly inspecting the swing. Most swings will require basic tools for construction. The method of hanging a swing varies, but it's important to follow instructions and regularly check stability. To make a swing more comfortable, consider adding cushions or padding, using soft ropes or chains, adjusting the height and angle, and adding a canopy or shade cover.

This is a great example of art imitating life. After a lifelong career in the building trades I find it more than funny, it's seriously funny with emphasis on the serious part.
