corrugated tin roof gives it a safari kind of look and feel


no ropes though and i do wonder about the size of the chain

looks on the small size for those benches

i did not see any detail on setting the posts and laying them out

that is not a small job in itself

does one creosote and or use pressure treated timbers

do you pour concrete or just back fill and tamp with soil

or gravel and sand and soil


i guess once the timbers are joined by the 2 bys that entier structure
can stand by itself but i think i would still want to stabilize the base of
each timber
