I was thinking of making a play structure for my kids this spring too. I was thinking that I'd buy the swings and a slide from a supplier, then build the rest myself.
Doing the work with my dad should be a lot of fun, I'd like to do the measuring, cutting and figuring.
One thing to keep in mind is to make sure your hardware is strong enough. Stuff like a swing can put a lot of force on the related hardware. Don't just put a couple of wood screws into a flush mounted bracket mounted on the bottom of your support beam.
