How to Build Monkey Bars (with Pictures)

Making monkey bars is a fun project that only requires some two by fours, screws, and metal bars. To start, cut wooden boards to size using a hand saw and a miter saw. Once you have your pieces cut, use a drill to connect the boards into 2 support structures with 3 ladder steps, so kids can climb up to the monkey bars. Once the structures are done, screw in two 88-inch long boards connecting the 2 structures near the top. Between these 2 boards, screw in bars about 10 inches apart, which will be the rungs of the monkey bars. To learn how to find the right-sized bars for your project, read on!
