How to make a tire swing

Find and wash an appropriate tire

• Call your local auto mechanic or wrecker. Ask if they have any old tires lying around, and if so, if you can take one.
• Look through the available old tires. Try to find one that’s fairly large, with a wide sidewall for sitting on. I recommend a tire with a 17-inch inner diameter, and sidewalls at least six inches wide. Choosing a tire that’s too small or with sidewalls too narrow results in an uncomfortable swing.
• Bring the tire home and wash it with water, dish soap and a scrub brush.
• Rinse off all the dirt and soap.
