WD imagine you want to make a joint fail by over loading it- would it take more force to split the horizontal beam where you have already cut it or to drive a post into the ground? That is why removing material from the posts would have no consequences while cutting the cross piece might.


For a swing stand and with a brace you should still be fine but I just wanted to share how the ol men in my family and the ol farts I day waged for would answer my how to questions. They would train me how to work the problem and rib me raw if I did it bass ackwards!

You could get a couple of pieces of 1/8th' thick, 2' angle iron as long as the posts are wide and screw them in the inside angle of the posts for added rigidity.

Whether you're building rabbit hutches, roofing houses or building love swings that you and the wife can swing in while gazing out at your livestock, we are here for you with plenty of advise on how you should proceed.

Think of it as synergy. A brain trust.
