Keep in mind that the rope attachments should be at the same height. Otherwise, you'll swing unevenly. Then, there's the question of whether the swing is for little Lisa at 30kg or uncle Gustav at 130kg.

Hi,

4x4m pergola
90x90 posts with cast footing in corners
45x195 beam against the house wall and around
70x70 post in the middle to attach slats later on.
I was planning to hang this

A strap around the beam?
Trapeze screw straight up?

Do I need to reinforce with an extra 45x195 horizontally approximately where the swing will be to prevent the beam from swaying sideways when swinging slightly?
As mentioned, 2 attachment points

One through bolt ring 12mm. Washer on each side of the beam. Lock nut on the top side.
I've experienced regular "swing rings" that you just screw in from below suddenly break.

One piece of continuous bolt ring 12mm. Washer on each side of the beam. Locknut on the top side.
I've experienced regular "swing rings" that you just screw in from underneath that suddenly just snap.

Something like this

I would have attached a small piece of regel to the long regel to attach the swing to, in order not to weaken the long regel with through holes.

Won't be needed and only makes the construction less attractive. The construction as it is today does not take any snow loads, and if it were to become relevant, it still wouldn't be needed.

Drilling vertical 12 mm holes, centered through a 45x195, sounds like a very difficult task if you don't have a drill press or some form of stand. If you mark where you should drill with a square and drill from both sides, it becomes a bit less risky.
The risk is that you drill a little crooked and significantly reduce the load-bearing capacity of the beam.
Crooked along the beam is not so bad, but across the beam, it's worse.

This was the solution.

The risk is that you drill slightly crooked and significantly reduce the support of the joist.
Crooked along the joist is not so bad, but across the joist, it's worse.

In this forum, I assume that people don't have two left feet. If you have the will to do something well, you don't need to rush. I've done this drilling many times and never failed.

In this forum, I assume that people aren't completely inept. If you have the will to do something well, you don't need to rush. I've done this connection several times myself and never failed.

So good! 🙄
