The Do Swing Trapeze Chandelier

March 25th, 2008 by BallerHouse

Developed by Bernstrand & Co. the Do Swing is a ceiling-mounted swing with a chandelier handle, complete with shades at both ends of the grips. Meant for indoor use, the Do Swing is still a concept, but one we hope to see go into production soon. If it does, we’d like to see a revised, shades-free design so that the swing could withstand some serious abuse.

Don’t want to wait? If you’re interested in purchasing a Do Swing now and price isn’t a consideration, get in contact with Bernstrand now. We’re sure they’d be glad to start making them for the right price.

Design Your Dream Court Online

Custom Basketball Court

If you could design a custom court for your pad, how would it look? Using SnapSports’ online court designer, you can create your own dream court and print the results. This feature lets you select your sport, court size, court colors, and custom features.

While you won’t be able to embed your team’s logo in the court using SnapSports’ online design feature, this is an option they do provide to buyers. The company, in fact, created an 87,000 square KFC logo in the Nevada desert, shown in video here.

As court options vary widely, and SnapSports uses a network of different installers, court prices are not standardized. However, for an indoor court, you could expect to pay about $2.99 to $3.75 per square foot. For a 60 by 90 foot large size basketball court, that translates into a range of roughly $16,000 to $20,000 total for the court itself. Custom options would of course run extra.
