I have a Westinghouse WGen series generator. I to had the carbon monoxide sensor from hell problem. This solution worked for me. Just unplug from c/o sensor module and short the green and blue wires on the wire harness connector and you are done. BTW Westinghouse.... This is a completely unusable design! Your generators won't even run in free open air.
Hello, not sure if i missed it on the video. Do you have a weight estimste for the swings with this type of structure
Several average size adults have used these swings. I think the swing hardware is going to be your limiting factor. Most swings have a pretty low weight limit.
Really like this design thanks
Thanks
Why do you use a ratchet and not a drill to sink your lag?
How did you figure out it was the blue and green wires? Trial and error, guess,.. until it runs? Or use the same pin locations as others but ignore the colors others said were correct?
When I watched other videos and looked at other diagrams the yellow, white, and red wires were consistently used for other things. it was the other colors that varied per model. I think the pin locations varied as well so it was just locating the correct colors and then trial and error.
@@JacksHomeProjects Thank you. I just bought a Durostar sd5000dx, same as Duromax, and your vid is the only one that seems very similar. It does have the green and blue wires. And white, two yellows... Is their a way to email you a pic of the terminal to show you the colors? Or, I could create a video and you can comment...?
awesome!! thanks for sharing
My favorite part was the cute kids laughing at the end!
Where do we get blue seats from ?
Those are Little Tike swings. Available lots of places.
What grit did you sand to before staining?
I can't remember but I think it was 220.
Going to do the same with my 2wd except not adding a spring
I wonder if that would stop a 6.5 creedmoor
There’s probably some data online somewhere. Being that 308 barely penetrates the sand, and theres several feet of sand, I would not be concerned
Great job and the beautiful wood really brings it together
Thank you
Very nice
Thanks
@@JacksHomeProjects no problem like many i been trying to think of a idea that would work so i dont have to drive from the pad just to keep the bangs in line.
The rebar is something I didn’t consider. Will be adding this to my build.
where did you find RR ties?
From a local building supply business .
What was the ball park final cost for the project?
Your backstop is totally awesome. I have been searching for a good video and ideas. I just found it . Thank you for posting. I was going to use tires filled with sand and gravel. Your design is excellent.
Good, I’m glad you found it useful. Thanks
Will this design work with three swings?
You’d have to make the structure wider. The structure itself could handle it but I don’t know about the post depth. I imagine three adults swinging in rhythm would be a lot of leverage.
I think this is how I need to do it.....but twice as tall.
Cool. I'm not sure how high you could go using this method.
@@JacksHomeProjects well maybe not all the way to 16 ties but I think I'd need at least a 7ft height to have a good backstop for a pistol plate rack, so.i guess 12 ties high.
Thanks for this. Planning on building this for a customer
Glad to help
Holy cow, I did a design in my head and it was almost identical. I know I'm in good company
Great. Well now you know that the design works out.
Could you use #2 Ground Contact Wood Pressure Treated Lumber instead of ties considering sand stopping projectile. Ties here expensive and not great condition ?? Please advise
Yes you could use pressure treated lumber. Usually that’s the more expensive route. Also, lumber is usually smaller so it would probably need more support than what I used for this.
Very clear and to the point ! Thanks
Great, thank you.
Straight to the point very detailed plus a good build . great video your presentation skills are formidable . you should do well
Thank you
Dude what a great job and the suggestion is the only suggestion is throw a roof over it. I got some good pointers out of this thank you!
Thanks. Yes I’m considering doing that.
Jacks's Home Projects, I used your interlocking railroad tie process to construct my railroad tie backstop. I couldn't get any granite sand therefore all I could get was clay-sand. It's a lot more dense and wet compared to regular sand but that's all I could get around here. I paid $200 for 13 tons of the clay-sand. I used some to fill extra safety barrels I placed alongside my backstop. I'll show that in Part 4 of the build. Thanks again for responding to my comments about how your layout design was cnfigured. It worked out well, It was quite a bit of work from start to finish. As mentioned, I still have some safety features to finish off my backstop. It's only my DIY version. I was able to stack 12 railroad ties high and the interlocking rebar stakes kept everything quite table. One fella commented that he too was constructing a RR tie backstop but his walls caved in. I don't think he made a level foundation prior to stacking and staking the layers. Alright, Jack, I'll soon be able to throw some lead down range thanks to your design. Have a fine week.

Thanks. Glad it worked out for you as well.
Hasil nya mantap anak anak pun jadi betah👍👏👏
How many tons of sand did you buy and think you had leftover? I calculated for a 9 x 9 x 4.5 (9x6") square it is 18cubic yards. Then I cut that in half to make the triangle from back full to front for 9 cubic yards. I know it is slightly less than this, but that is the approximate. Then I believe it is .75 cubic yards per ton, making it about 12 yards.
Sorry, I don’t remember the amount I bought.
Thanks for communicating with me and explaining the RRT layout. NEW SUBSCRIBER to show support and appreciation. Don 👍🏽🤠
Thanks
Jacks Home Projects, I think I watched your video atleast six times to see how you staggered the RRT's to get interlocking ends on the sides and rear walls. I can see how they're overlapped and interlocked on one side of the box and one side of the rear wall at 0:45. I read your response to Mike Clark (below) in which you explain how "every other RRT" in the back wall is cut short to fit between the two side walls (one of which gets overlapped by alternating side corners). Thanks for the great design. My RRTs are smaller (8.5 ft x 8 in x 6 in). Therefore, my backstop box will be 8.5 feet wide vice 9 feet. I'm in the eary stages of building a backstop now (using your interlocking design). BTW, how many chainsaw and circular saw blades did you wear out? How did you lift to stack your RRTs? Did you call in reinforcements to help you lift and adjust those heavy-azz RRTs? Have a fine week. Don 👍🏽🤠
So my ties are about 9’ so thats the width of the backstop. The first layer I put both side ties all the way to the back and cut the back piece to fit between them. Then the 2nd layer I have a full length tie across the whole backside and then just slid the side pieces forward instead of cutting them. You can see from the front that the second layer on both sides stick out in the front. I didn’t damage or have any excessive wear on my saw blade or chain. I lifted them by myself. I drug them over to the wall and then lifted one end and rested it against the wall and then picked up the other side.
@@JacksHomeProjects Thanks, I was wondering how you initially started. This explains the 1st 2 layers. I guess the 3rd layer was identical to the 1st ground layer and then repeat the process, right? Thanks Jacks Home Projects. 👍🏽🤠
Yes, just repeated the pattern
Impressive. I also liked how quiet that 5.56 was at the end. That alone would go a long way in not disturbing the neighbors.
Thanks
Mind me asking how much are ties now? I like how u did this
The place I got mine from is currently selling them for $26. I don't remember what I paid for them a few years ago.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks for the visual.
What was your total depth for the posts, and how many bags of concrete per post did you use?
They are 12' posts so you want to go 4' deep. I got about 3' deep so I drove rebar into the rock to supplement. I would use the calculator on quikrete website to figure how many bags. I think I used about 8 bags per hole.
Might need the rough country upper control arms itll help with the front end issue
Thanks
the laughter at the end was awesome :) great video!
Thanks!
How long is the horizontal post? And are the post 4x4
8’ and they are 6x6
I'm problying gonna build my own...great content!
Great, thank you
Nicely done. Great plan to work from for our range.
Thank you
I have 33x12.50r20 mud tires the rebound is the 33 tire
Thank you for this. That makes sense.
I just got the kit today ..questions why do you have problems intall the rear block?
Do you feel any problems with the rear block?
@@FORD150-5.4 I chose to use the add-a-leaf instead of a taller block to lift it and also the added cargo capacity. I didn't have any problems installing the blocks but I had problems removing the center pins in the leaf springs. I hope this answers your question.
@@FORD150-5.4 I had no problems using the stock block.
Any problems with this kit ?
No, none at all.
Awesome !!! Great job !!!! I wish I had a big enough back yard to do this.
Thank you
I was thinking about getting the N3 leveling struts for my Ram 1500 how do they handle compared to stock shocks ?how are they holding up any corrosion?, rough country is from China and they're very cheap so I don't expect them to last long or be high quality but there fairly reasonably priced
They have been great. I have no complaints. Im glad I didn’t pay more for another brand.
Hey thanks for the video. How much weight can this frame hold. Looking to build one for adult swing
Well I can tell you that this is an exact replica of the one I grew up on and that one has had many adults swinging on it and its still in use going on probably 40 years now.
@@JacksHomeProjects proof enough of durability. Thanks for sharing.
We put shade cloth on the front of ours. Peg targets to it. No timber to replace when it gets shot to pieces.
Good idea. Thanks
Does the sand ever wash out during heavy rains?
A couple times it got small channels in it. Just takes a few seconds of shovel work to fix it. Same with a lot of shooting. Every once in a while just reshape it.
I want the same setup
I'm glad you like it.
Did you use a full railroad tie wide plus the overlap on the back wall? I am working on the same project and realized with a full tie plus the width of one side overlapping, I cannot run a tie over the top. I was planning on going about 10 high, can cut the top few rows short, and use a few ties over the top for any splatter on steel targets or possible ricochets. Thanks for the video. Great design. Great execution. Now I need to get mine finished!!
Thanks. It is as wide as the ties are long. So every other tie in the back has to be cut shorter to fit between the ties on the side. I hope that answers your question.
@@JacksHomeProjects I just watched the video again and heard the 9 foot outer width. Thanks for the reply.
What kind of wood is that?
Cedar
I bet it'll stop a 50bmg
Yes most likely.
