How the calculation works
Method: requiredWidth=frameWidth+2×sideClearance; requiredDepth=frameDepth+swingArcFront+swingArcRear. This is the exact rule used to generate swing-set garden footprint for this page.
Worked example
Example: Swing-set frame width = 60 cm; Frame depth = 60 cm; Required front swing clearance = 30 cm; Required rear swing clearance = 30 cm; Side safety clearance = 30 cm. Result: Required Depth = 120 cm; Required Width = 120 cm.
