Every swing require frame, so do mine, I designed in Solidworks software, took a screenshot, edited in Photoshop and include dimensions. The frame is made from stainless steel, diameter (⌀) of the legs is 80mm and top bar ⌀60mm, thickness of the wall 4-4.5mm that give approximately 400kg.




Next element is a bracket connecting top bar of the frame with arms of the gondola. Dimensions are stated on the picture.

On the picture I present geometric cross-section with dimensions of two main elements of the bearing. The weight of each is around 80grams. Swing require 4 of them.








For this post I added dimension to the drawing of the seat, which is based on similar design, each of the 2 Cup Swing Seat is about 7kg.






Sculpture of the fox shell slide it doesn't need as much of details in early planning stage, however, there is some main details, like high, width, and some elements require by legislation when building playground equipment  such as high of the barriers, slide incline or width of the sliding surface (Krzemionka, 2017).
