Hi,

I am currently planning to build a swing set for my son in the garden. It appears to me that they are normally 2.6 metres high (8.5 ft).

In order to allow using the swing set border also for future ring work (e.g. iron cross) or rope climb work, what should the ideal height of the structure be?

I know I am far away from foundation 2/3 where this gets interesting, but the structure I plan to build will probably last a few years, so I just want to be prepared. ;-)

 

Thanks for your advice

Hey Florian,

3-5 meters should be fine (9-16ft).

Thanks Everett. Basically i will Go as high as it still makes sense for a swing set ;)
