Can I build a wooden swing bed myself?
What is nicer for hobby gardeners than enjoying life on a lounger after gardening? Comfortable to swing would perhaps be an alternative. With a home-made swing bed you do not have to choose between these alternatives.
Where can I get material and construction manual?
A construction manual for a rocking lounger can be found on the Internet or in one of the magazines for home improvement and / or garden design. Before you decide on a model, you should consider which swing is suitable for you. An important role is played by your craftsmanship. Not every model is easy to realize for a beginner.
If you have a lot of space in your garden, then you can also build a relatively large swing couch for two people. However, she has no room on a small terrace or a mini-balcony. You can get the material you need in any well-stocked hardware store, as well as tools that may still be missing.
Well suited for the construction of a swing bench is, for example, waterproof glued plywood from birch or a spruce top for the side panels. You can use spruce or Douglas fir slats for the lying surface. But also from Euro pallets you can build a simple swing bench or swing bench.
Which tools do I need?
Without a good tool a rocking lounger can not be built, after all, the finished piece should be durable and also work well, ie rock evenly. A jigsaw and a cordless screwdriver are essential, as well as an angle and / or a geodreieck. Also helpful are milling machine and grinder. Some screw clamps and / or lashing straps help to assemble the lounger.
Build the rocking couch
You should definitely work carefully and measure very accurately, otherwise the finished swing bed at the end may be crooked and hard to use. Follow the selected building instructions. Lower all screws so that you can not hurt yourself.
