Someone recently asked me if I had could find free lawn glider plans. Sure, no problem. Well, the plans for a lawn swing or lawn glider weren’t as easy to find as I expected. There are a ton of free porch swing plans, but no so many for the glider style lawn swing.
The plans above are from the LSU Agricultural Center. They may not be too detailed, but it should give you a point to work from.
There is a nice glider and lawn swing plan included in the following book found at Amazon.com.
Of course they aren’t free, but at less than $7, this is a bargain of a plan.

March 10, 2020 #1 Authorive been looking for a plan for a swing like this for awhile and am so happy I found this. they are not perfect plans as not all dimensions are included but Im sure I can figure them out with a bit of math. I do have a question about the long bolts though. Ive searched my home improvement stores and cant find any that big. is there a certain name they might be listed as. I cant find 3/4 bolts at all let alone ones that are over 3feet long.

March 10, 2020 #2 AuthorLiz, You should be able to find bolts like that at Home Depot. Example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-4-in-10-x-8-in-Galvanized-Carriage-Bolt-807496/204281364
If you need 3/4″ x that are very long you should consider “all thread”. You would essentially put a washer/nut on each end. Just ask for “threaded rod”. Also available at Home Depot. Example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-4-in-x-36-in-Zinc-Threaded-Rod-802277/204276651

I am sorry, we don’t sell plans. We only link to free plans online.

Hope this helps with your project.
