DIY Tire Swing

We’ve been talking a lot about tires. We've talked about tire rotation and winter vs. all season tires and now let's talk about reusing old tires. How you might ask? Well, a DIY tire swing of course. 
Tires come in multiple sizes, but all can be reused into a staple at your local park or even in your backyard. Creating a tire swing out of an old tire is a great way to reuse it and will also give the kids hours of fun in your very own backyard. 
What does it take to make one of these? It’s pretty simple actually. All you’ll need is a tire, eye-bolts, S-hook, 3 shorter chains and 1 long chain, clip hook, connector links, and a swivel piece. Now, if you’re not a handyman this may sound intimidating, but check out this website with step-by-step directions and you’ll soon realize that any man or woman is capable of making a do-it-yourself tire swing. 
After you create your very own personal tire swing you can feel proud of not only the work you have done, but also that you did a little part in helping the environment.
