Commercial-Grade Swing Frame: Birds Nest with Cypress Timber & Galvanized Steel

Strong, sturdy, ready for the backyard

See the structural certificate of this frame.

Siesta Hammocks' Free-Standing Swing Frame is built from Cypress Pine timber and powder-coated steel, designed for reliable outdoor use. This frame is ideal for adults and older children who want a solid swing setup without the fuss of fixing into walls or trees.

What you're getting

• Top beam with swing hangers — commercial-grade metal with pre-drilled attachment points
• Four Cypress Pine legs — 90 × 90mm timber, each 2.7m long
• Metal corner brackets and ground anchors — for assembly and secure ground fixing
• Hardware kit — screws, nuts, and washers included

⚠️ Swing seats are sold separately. You'll need to order your sensory swing, nest swing, or other compatible seat.

Weight limits — important to know

Single frame: Maximum 150kg load on one swing

Double frame: Two swings can operate at the same time, 90kg each (or 120kg max if using only one swing)

These limits are certified by a structural engineer. If a swing will be used by someone approaching or at the weight limit, discuss this with the person and supervising adult before purchase.

Installation — you need to get this right

Proper installation is required for warranty coverage. The frame must be anchored securely into the ground. You have two options:

• In compacted earth: 450mm deep, 100mm diameter stainless steel screw pile into soil (unit density 2000kg/m³)
• In sand or loose soil: 300mm diameter by 400mm deep concrete footing with screw pile embedded in the centre — this is the safer option for most backyards

If you're unsure about soil type or installation, we recommend consulting a local tradie or landscaper before ordering. An instruction manual and structural certificate come with every frame — these documents must be followed for safe assembly.

Space and safety clearance you'll need

• 1.9m clearance on each side of the frame
• 3m clearance in front and behind
• Soft fall matting: 300mm minimum under and around the frame. Use materials meeting Australian safety standards.

About the timber — natural checking is normal

Your frame is made from Australian Cypress Pine, a naturally termite-resistant hardwood ideal for Australia's climate. Like all timber, Cypress will develop small surface splits (checking) as it expands and contracts in warm and cool weather. This is completely normal and does not affect the frame's strength or safety — it's a feature of solid timber, not a fault.

For peace of mind: the thick 90 × 90mm posts are engineered so that natural checking never becomes deep enough to compromise structural integrity.

Before and after you use it

• Before first use: Check all screws, nuts, bolts, hooks, and chains are tight. Inspect hardware before each session.
• Adult supervision: Always required for children. The frame itself is sturdy, but the person using the swing needs a responsible adult nearby.
• Maintenance: Inspect all hardware every 1–3 months. Tighten any loose fittings and replace damaged parts promptly.

Shipping — important to know

Swing frames are oversize and heavy (pallet delivery only). The frame must be delivered to a business address with forklift facilities on-site, or picked up from the depot closest to you. Home delivery is not available for this product. Check delivery options before ordering.
