tree swing

Rope-hung yard seat

A tree swing is a swing hung from a tree branch, typically a simple seat—a board, tire, or disc—suspended by ropes or chains.

Tree swings evoke rustic childhood play, distinct from playground equipment: The old oak had a tree swing that three generations of kids had used.

They range from crude rope-and-plank affairs to elaborate wooden seats.
