Tie the rope around the tire using a square knot. (Don’t do like I do and attach the tire using the rope with a whole bunch of knots that you know how to make!) STEP 6: Test the tire swing. Aug 04, 2012  If you decide to make a rope swing, I’d encourage you to do your own research on the safest knots to use. I used a carabiner so that I can easily take the swing down and easily put it back up. I wrapped the rope over a branch and looped the hanging rope through the carabiner.

This weekend I'll be hanging a children's swing in a small maple we have in the backyard. Baby boomers definition hep c. I don't claim to be an arborist, certainly not a climber, and my fishing skills are limited to drinking beer.That being said, I need some help with the best knot for my application. I was hoping to just use rope, with no anchors in the tree.

Also, the limbs are somewhat wimpy, so I'll be supporting the main limb by tying to another.Please educate me on knots and any techniques.It's a children's swing so I think those things aren't rated past 40lbs.Thanks,Craig.
