SWING STAND / ARBOR #1-2

Lyme, New Hampshire

Prowell’s Wood Swing Stand is essentially our Arbor #1-2, although limited to accommodate swing specifications.

As a solution to those of you requesting an assembly to support your swings within the garden and landscape, as opposed to the front porch.
It consists of:

1. The top section shipping as a fully joined assembly and ready to mount onto the tops of surfaced 6×6 posts provided by the site.
2. Two side foyer panels shipping as fully joined assemblies ready to mount between the posts.

Note: the swing is separate and specified from the gallery.

Top Assembly shown is 98-1/2″ length x 36″ width. Primary beams at 3-1/2″T x 5-1/2″W. There should normally be 14″-17″ clearance on either side of the swing. So a 5′ wide swing will want an overall swing-stand width of 88″-94″ between the posts.

The snow and the penguins and the frostbite mornings have been supplanted with the spoils of a New Hampshire summer.

The rural outbacks gone hip and trendy. Well, hopefully it’s from the harvest of a Sonoma vineyard.

And now, our featured event.

In the right corner, Charles’ pesky bastard identical twin Chuck, teleport with a telepathic intuition of yet another photo bomb opportunity. And in the left corner, Joe, backed by the deep pockets of Prowell Woodworks, arriving by private jet, equipped with all the latest hi-tech gadgets and weaponry. A simple soldier, raised in Tennessee, Joe-the-Mercenary is poised for the ringmaster’s bell, thinking nothing more complex that headlocks, half-nelsons, and his signature scissor-squeeze, followed by the sweet cry of UNCLE and the glorious roar of the crowd.

The original Swing Stand with Swing style #4 is situated in the backyard of a private residence in the heart of Silicone Valley. In response to our repeated pleas for photos, we received, as if in spite, the below out-of-focus offering.

We designed the Swing Stand Garden Arbor specifically to provide an assembly for those who are forever requesting one of the prowell swings not on their front porch, but within their landscape.

There are of course no metal screws or fasteners within the Garden Arbor assembly itself. Only the four lags provided to secure it to the site posts.
