Swing Seats?

Options
Does anyone Know where I can buy cheap seats for the double swing? I've seen them in the ELC, but they are £18.00 with the rope. I don't really need the ropes.

The other option would be to ask other half to make them from strong, sanded down and painted wood.

    I think it's TP Activity Toys which are reckoned to be pretty good - for selling 'bits' to add to systems.

    However, is it worth replacing the ropes for the sake of peace of mind or are you certain they are good for lots more swings?

    It is TP Activity Toys I was thinking of. don't know if they will fit anyone else's frames, however!

    The swing is a double, which other half made about 12 years ago from scaffolding tubes, with all the proper clamps-built to last forever! Its cemented about 20 inches into the ground, and looks as good today, as it did 12 years ago... I've just painted it green to match the grass! Its really stable, never moves at all, except now the original ELC plastic seats are brittle and cracking......

    Thanks for your help
