	STEP 7: Mount one slat (A) to the flats on the front edges of two of your bottom supports (C) — and another slat (A) to the flats on the top edges of two of your back supports (B). NOTE: Be sure to allow EXACTLY 1-1/2-INCHES of overhang on each end of your slats. Use your #8 x 1-1/2-inch wood screws, pilot-drilling and countersinking all screw holes in your slats, as well as your bottom and back supports, prior to assembly. STEP 8: Place your center assembled support (or two, if you’re lengthening the swing) so it’s spaced evenly between the two side supports and attach the support to the two slats using 1-1/2-inch wood screws.
