You gave me a perfect solution. I do have a couple of questions. Do I need to paint or treat the wood with anything and also how do you figure out how to do the webbing?
Thanks for sharing. : )

You know I was going to stain this stuff blue but forgot and remembered after I had the web on.
You can buy this stuff treated or untreated your choice.
When you go down to get it make sure it is nice and straight with no bends or any knots in it that are very big.
If there is it will just break.
I will get some with defects if I know I am going to be cutting it in short pieces.
I also dont always buy treated lumber to use outside.
That is what paint and stain is for.
Treated lumber is also many times soaking wet when you buy it so it has to dry out before you can paint it.
As for the web.
The best way for me to describe what I did is to do a pictuer.
But the clove hitch needs to be learned.
Clove hitch.
Back later with drawing.
