Are there different types and designs for this? What kind of treatment would the wood need if hanging outside? Is it better to use thick rope or chains? Can it be large enough to hold a twin-sized mattress or baby crib mattress? What type of cushions would work best? I have always wanted one of these and have even seen one made with an antique door as the back. What ideas/tutorial can you give me?? Thanks for any help!!!
