Can spare parts be obtained for a garden swing?

[colin79ie]

I have a set of swings in the garden which the kids adore. They are in quite good condition except for the bracket that holds on the see-saw bit. It has corroded quite badly. I am wondering if I can get a replacement part instead of buying a whole new set of swings?

Does anyone know if and where these are available?

It might be best to ask the people where the swing was bought.

I have a vague recollection that used to do this type of stuff but that is a long time ago. Roches Stores were great for getting stuff like this but unfortunately they have long gone.

This is just one many companys that replace parts-there are a few irish companys too-Goulds is one compnay that I spotted.

Just a thought...

Perhaps the needed part can be cheaply manufactured in a workshop ? There are plenty of ironworks companies who make railings, fences and gates etc out of metal. They could probably make a bracket realy easily if you explained its dimensions.
