We are having a custom rope swing constructed similar to the one shown in the first photo and would like a structural engineer to design and verify the installation. The preliminary concept is: • 6" ID Schedule 80 steel pipe • Approximately 16' total pipe length • Approximately 12' bend radius • Approximately 4' of straight pipe extending into the ground • The dimensions can be modified if you determine different dimensions would provide a safer or structurally better design. • A rope will attach near the upper end of the curved pipe and function as a pendulum swing over the deep end of the pool. • We would like the swing post located along the wall near the concrete steps, or otherwise on the side of the pool closest to the patio. • We would also like a 3' tall jumping platform located near the top of the concrete steps, on the deck and level with the surrounding ground. The primary question we need the engineering to answer is the proper relationship between the swing post and the jumping platform. Specifically, we would like you to determine: 1. The exact recommended location for the pipe/post in relation to the jumping platform. 2. The optimal orientation/rotation of the curved pipe. 3. Whether the proposed 12' bend radius and 16' overall length are appropriate, or whether they should be modified. 4. The required embedment depth and concrete footing/foundation design. 5. The appropriate height, location and mechanism of the rope attachment point and range of proper rope length. 6. The maximum lateral width of the swing trajectory across the deep end of the pool. 7. The safest location and orientation of the swing so that the rider's trajectory remains within the intended portion of the deep end. Ideally, we would like a scaled site plan showing the proposed location of the post and jumping platform, along with the swing's maximum trajectory envelope from a top-down view. We are open to modifying the pipe dimensions, post location, platform location, attachment height, or orientation based on your engineering recommendations. We can provide photos, measurements, pool dimensions, deck dimensions, and the location of the concrete steps and proposed platform.

Hello, I have experience preparing structural concepts, load-path reviews, footing details, and scaled installation plans for custom exterior steel features and recreational structures. I am interested in this project because the swing post, rope attachment, jumping platform, and pool clearance need to be coordinated carefully for both structural safety and rider trajectory. I will review your pool dimensions, deck layout, steps, wall location, photos, and site measurements, then determine the recommended post location, pipe orientation, bend radius, embedment depth, footing size, rope attachment height, and safe swing envelope. I will prepare a scaled top-down site plan showing the post, platform, and maximum swing trajectory, along with structural notes for the steel pipe, foundation, and connections. If sealed engineering is required, I do not personally hold licensure, but I work with an actively licensed structural engineer who can review and provide stamped results. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

Setting up a rope swing over a pool presents unique challenges, especially when it comes to ensuring safety and structural integrity. If the relationship between the swing post and jumping platform isn’t correctly addressed, it could lead to accidents or structural failures down the line, which no one wants. I can help design a robust setup that considers all necessary safety factors. I’ll assess the optimal location for the post, the best orientation for the pipe, and ensure the dimensions provide a secure swing trajectory. My goal is to create a solution that not only meets your expectations but also enhances the overall safety of the swing experience. I can provide revisions based on your feedback to ensure everything aligns perfectly with your vision. Could you share what your timeline looks like for this project? Also, do you have specific measurements for the pool and deck that I should consider in the design?

Hello, I understand the key challenge is establishing a safe and predictable swing trajectory from the jumping platform while ensuring the curved steel post, foundation, and rope attachment can safely withstand the expected loads. I can engineer this systematically, including the optimal post location and pipe orientation, platform-to-post relationship, pipe dimensions and bend radius, footing/embedment requirements, rope attachment height, rope-length range, and maximum lateral swing envelope. I’ll use the supplied pool and deck measurements to develop a scaled top-down site plan showing the proposed post and platform locations and the swing trajectory. Where appropriate, I’ll recommend modifications to the concept to improve structural performance and rider safety. Send me the available dimensions, photos, and site information, and I can review the concept and move directly into the engineering/design stage. Best regards, Jeff Chong

Hi, This project requires more than simply sizing a steel pipe — the post location, swing geometry, platform relationship, foundation, and full trajectory envelope all need to work together safely. I can provide the structural engineering and CAD documentation needed to develop and verify the installation. I will evaluate the proposed 6" Schedule 80 pipe, bend radius, overall height, embedment, footing/foundation, rope attachment point, swing loads, lateral trajectory, and rider clearance. I’ll also determine the safest relationship between the jumping platform and swing post and recommend any dimensional or orientation changes required. The deliverables can include structural calculations/recommendations and a scaled AutoCAD site plan showing the post, platform, swing path, and maximum trajectory envelope from above. Please send the pool/site dimensions, photos, and measurements so I can begin the engineering assessment. Best regards

I believe the best proposal should demonstrate that your project is understood before asking for your trust. Your goal of constructing a custom rope swing over the pool, while ensuring safety and functionality, is well-defined. The specific requirements around the swing post location, jumping platform, and the structural integrity of the design are critical. Addressing the precise relationship between the swing post and jumping platform is essential for maximizing safety and usability. To achieve this, I will conduct a thorough structural analysis to determine the optimal swing post placement in relation to the jumping platform. This will include evaluating the bend radius, overall pipe length, and ensuring the embedment depth and foundation design are robust. A scaled site plan will visually represent the recommended locations and trajectory envelope, providing clarity on the swing's operation over the pool. My previous project involved designing a similar custom installation for a recreational space, where safety and functionality were prioritized, leading to successful user experience and satisfaction. By implementing these detailed engineering solutions, we will ensure a safe and enjoyable swing experience that aligns with your vision. Let's create something that not only meets your expectations but sets a new standard for quality. Regards Junaid
