Help wanted: making a frame for a hanging seat

[snozz]

Off topic slightly, but my daughter would like a hanging seat in the garden.

Anyone near Leeds that could make a stand such as this?




Failing that, any suggestions to making something that will hold a weight that is swinging around. Happy to make something out of wood, just worried about the tension on the crossbar if I made an inverted L shaped stand out of wood.

Cheers

Make it like an old fashioned hangman's gibbet - no one suspended from them ever complained that the cross piece broke in use....

That had crossed my mind... Interesting garden piece for the neighbours to gossip about too!
