Larry -
I enjoyed seeing your work. I'm especially interested in building a porch swing to replace an old one. I like the ones shown in your pic numbers 100-1355 and 100-1294. The one I need will be 60" wide. Would you provide information on the type and dimension of wood you used? I'm concerned about weight for a seat of this size. Thanks

I buy Kiln dried preasure treated then Kiln dried again Yellow Pine, which is the hardest of the soft woods. I buy 5/4 "decking and rip it just under 1 3/4'' to get three Slats . I use 2"X8"and cut the frame out of those. I run it thru my planer to prevent a lot of extra sanding. I predrill all the holes to prevent splitting. It does have some weight to it but not like the wet treated lumber. I haven't had any problem with weight myself.
