Concreting in a garden swing?

Question

i have brought a 3 metre high heavy duty galvanised steel TP TOYS garden swing for my son and it has to be concreted in, now i know this might sound a bit dumb but can some one let me know how to do it correctly as i want to make it as safe as possible for him as my son has autisim and he adores swings , the reason i have had to buy a large one is because of his age and he is a bit to heavy for the smaller ones , I have also brought a rubber mat for the ground. thankyou.

Answer 1

It is quite a lot of work to set a swing in concrete.See the article link below. The end of the article tells you how to set a swing frame legs in concrete.

Answer 2

Wickes, B&Q etc. sell bags of premixed cement/sand/gravel specifically for this type of job.

Dig 4 holes for the legs about 400mm deep.  Put the legs in the holes (level the swing up with a spirit level) and then pour in the (dry) mix.   Add water as per qty specified on bag.  You will probably need 4 bags to give max. strength.
