that screws be used when
laminating the Swing Beam.
Optional Laminated Beam
NOTE: Attach one end of the beam with three
2-1/2'' screws. Secure boards and attach the
other end with three 2-1/2'' screws. This will
insure that your boards will stay aligned
throughout the remainder of the beam assembly.

K. Laminated Beam Instructions
1. If 4" x 6" lumber is not available, you may
laminate two 2" x 6" x 144'' pieces of lumber
together to create the beam.
2. Lay the lumber on a flat surface and align all of
the edges. NOTE: Make sure each piece of
lumber is the same length. If it is not, trim board(s).
3. From the end of each board, measure and place a
mark at 24" intervals (Fig. 18).
4. Assemble the beam by attaching each end
together using three 2-1/2'' screws (Fig. 18a).
Note: Stagger the screws as shown in (Fig. 18a) to
insure a sturdy bond. Repeat every 24" along the
entire length of the beam.When beam is complete,
measure, drill holes, and attach beam clamps and
nylon bushing swing hangers
