Hello. I have read and seen some of the work done here. I am wondering what you think of my two possible methods to support the moving part of a monkey bar. What advantages and disadvantages do you see?

Note that it will be fixed at one end, it's just for illustration purposes that I have both solutions in the last image.
Best regards

Why should it be movable?

One side should be because the trees sway independently of each other. The screws will reportedly break after a while.
 
Sturdy strap around the trees, in the strap between the trees, you screw a rule on the inside of the strap on each side and attach the handles with screws from the outside. It flexes when needed due to wind etc., and can be easily adjusted as needed.

Thanks for the answer. I understand the part about the ratchet strap, but not where the batten should be placed. Are you thinking of a batten between the strap and the tree?
 
A ruler on each side about 30cm shorter than the space between the trees. You screw them through the tension strap with a washer, preferably a screw into each pipe part from each direction, of course.
