Central support plan and parts

list

Throughout this project all

measurements are given in both metric
(mm) and standard imperial (ft and
inches).

When selecting the wood for this

seesaw project make sure that it is
suitable for exterior use.
If you cannot source the exact wood
sizes as shown in this project, then a
near size will do as long as the tire hole
will fit the central support unit..

Below is a list of all the parts which are

basically a seesaw plank, a bit of
lumber for the central support, a piece
of galvanized water pipe, a bit of
concrete, half a dozen bolts, some pipe
clips and a car tire.
Used tires can sometimes be obtained
free from tire stores.

The size of the tire used in this project

is 175/70-14. That means the tire is
175mm (7") wide and has a hole
diameter of 360mm (14"). You can use
a different size tire, just as long as the
width and hole size will accommodate
the central support.

The parts list

A) Four pieces of 65mm x 45mm (1 1/2" x 2 1/2") wood which are 500mm (20") long for the
vertical pieces of the central support unit.
B) One piece of 90mm x 45mm (1 1/2" x 3 1/2") wood which is 342mm (13 1/2") long for the
spacer.
C) One piece of 20mm (3/4") galvanized water pipe which is 342mm (13 1/2") long for the
pivot bar.
Note: Water pipe is measured by the inside diameter, so the actual overall diameter of the
pipe will be approximately 27mm (1 1/8").
D) One piece of 190mm x 45mm (1 1/2" x 7 1/2") wood which is 3000mm (10ft) long for the
seesaw plank.
E) Four pipe saddle clips (size to suit) to fix the water pipe (pivot bar) to the seesaw plank.
F) Four 12mm (1/2") galvanized carriage bolts which are 150mm (6") long.
G) A used car tire about 175mm (7") thick, 600mm (2ft) overall diameter and with (at least) a
360mm (14 1/8") hole diameter.
H) Some pieces of thin wood to cover the base of the tire so the concrete does not spill out.
I) A bit of gravel, sand and cement to make the concrete for the inside of the tire. You will
need approximately 3/4 of a wheelbarrow-full, which will be about 6 spades-full of gravel, 4
spades-full of sand and 2 spades-full of cement (which is a ratio of 1 part cement, 2 parts
sand and 3 parts gravel).
Mixing details are given in the instructions.
