    Nonagon Platform

    I decided to put it further from the house than my last one and installed it like this. Doubles as a swing for the grommets to have fun on. Just waiting on another swivel and yellow bag for it.

      Are these photos bigger? If not then it's because I have no computer skills The horizontal beam at the top is nearly 4m from the ground so the swing goes big and fast. The kids love it and so do the big kids lol. Getting the top pole in place was a feat of solo construction but with the help of a bit of rope I got em. Above the nonagon is 100lb of concrete I poured in just to add mass and to key the timbers together.

              Haven't tried hanging a witch from it yet but I have used it as a gantry for hanging pigs while I singe the hair off and butcher them. Just have to do it and get it done before my younger kids see a carcass hanging in place of the swings lol.
