How long should each the 2x4s for the legs be if i want the height of the horses to be 4ft tall? (I'm bad with math). Also how long are cross beams?

The legs should be about 49.5 inches for a height of 48 inches. The cross members are totally variable. Just cut them as long as you want the saw horses. If you plan to use it outside you should use treated lumber for the legs at least but you'll need to shave them down just a little for them to fit the brackets because treated lumber is ever so slightly larger in thickness and width because of the moisture content in the treated lumber.

I bought 4x4x10's and it was way to high. I cut off 2 feet to make them 4x4x8's and it is perfect at 88" from the ground to the bottom of the cross bar.

It's 4 3/4 long by 4 inch. You'd need a mounting plate for a4x4. Great lights though. Very happy with them.

You could by cutting off the ends of the double cross beams on either side. By going to a 4x6 post, you could use it to tie the two units together; in place of the 4x4 supplied. The only way you could get to a 10' height would be to put the posts on a footer the height you wanted.

I just used four treated 4"X4"X10' and placed them in the ground at three feet depth. It's a small sail so this works fine. The sails sets 7ft above our pool.

I don't have the horse carrier but the horses are about three by four inches.

Absolutely not. The horses that are in this set are only 2-3 inches tall and much, much thinner than My Little Ponies. These horses are more realistic and proportionately sized. They fit in the stable slots exactly. Just fyi--the stable is not high quality and breaks very easily. Keep wood glue handy. I will say it is a favorite toy for my daughter though.

suz ... if I understand your question correctly ... I moved the footplates manually to be level heighth, and measured from inner edge of left plate to inner edge of right plate ... 6" apart ... if I did not understand correctly, please clarify and I will try again

i put 2 fans in a 28x40 barn at 10 ft high,its like walking in an ac cooled house after being outside.dont know much about horses, but these fans move the air and are almost silent

For the 4 X 4 legs...8 foot lenghts are plenty. That gets your 4 X 6 cross bar, that you attach your swings to, about 7 feet off the ground.

The deer looked so strange That i didn't put them up. They are about 14 inches tall by a 16 inches wide. I went to ABC distributing.com and found way cuter wall decal animals. The trees however are amazing! I might buy another set just for the trees.

I can't measure right now, but I used 8' lumber for the legs and feel it is a little short. I had to take up a great deal of the chain (2+ ft.) on the trapeze bar to raise it enough for my 5 year old granddaughter to use it. If I have to raise it more the vinyl coating will have to be cut off. I would probably go with 8-1/2 to 9' legs if I had it to do over. I would install 10' initially, then cut to the preferred height (with help) once it is up and the swings are in place. You should gain/loose about 5" in height for every 6"change in leg length.

I have these animals and use them in a daycare setting, they are a perfect size for the Melissa and Doug barn. I took the smaller animals away. The horses are the largest approximately 2 1/2" x3 1/2" they have been great for ages 3 and up; they are very well made. I have been very happy with the quality.

Just buy two of the taller 4 by 4 and connect them, this should give you the even height you want. The company sells them in the taller section in the 4 by 4 individually. However, they won't be any taller than the tallest section. Due to the construction of the corner pieces I don't think you can stack them. Not sure you'd want to even if you could, due to the volume and weight of the soil it would take to fill, might bow (or possibly break) the center boards. Which would cause soil to escape with each planting or rain or watering or ect. For example, I have the one in the photo and it required 900 pounds of soil to fill.

Since flipping the base will increase the height, it should be fine. The size of the horse should also work.

The adult horses in this set measure 4 inches from hoof to ear tip and 5 1/4 inches from nose to tail. My granddaughter loves this set.
