Children's hinged swings for dachas consist only of seating and hanging elements (ropes, chains) and need a support to which they could be attached. Sometimes even a thick tree branch that grows parallel to the ground is used as a tree branch, but this is not quite a safe option, as the structure of the wood can change over time and a strong branch that has served one year by faith and truth as a crossbar for a swing, next season may to become fragile and fragile.
