Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've been on here. Have to make some serious rounds and check out what everyone has built since my last visit! Well as the title says, my sister knows someone that wants a swing set built and she sent them in my direction. As far as I know, he has parts to a swing set including the swings, arm for the swings, A frame for swings, a climbing wall, and a couple of slides. I'm assuming it is a Rainbow brand swing set. But he needs a tower built to connect all of the pieces. A couple of questions for ya...
Any recommendations on wood to use? Should I use some green treated 4x6's for the basic frame and other misc. green treated for the other parts? Or do you think this will split and crack too much over time? Do you know of any Cedar timber available in 4x6? ...I suppose I should really check into this while I'm out driving around today
Let's say I go with green treated pine, does anyone know if you can paint this or seal it in some way? Or if I go with Cedar, I would not want to paint it and cover up it's beauty potential... does anyone have any recommendations on a good stain and protective coat for such a thing? Thanks in advance everyone.
