How Not to Hang a Swing
Home May 25th, 2008
I went to Home Depot the other day to find something to use to hang a swing that had broken. I came across this vinyl coated steel cable that seemed like it would be perfect — the cable can support over 1000lbs and the vinyl coating is easy on the kids little hands. It looked good at first, but after a few days of swinging this is what it looked like. Apparently the cable twists as it stretches and when tension is released it gets twisted and kinked up.
