Ourplace, Welcome to the BB
Could be that an immortal of the threads will find a better place for this thread like under general woodworking. Anyway as for us mere mortals Norm the amateur woodworker built one a few years back and you should be able to find it somewhere on the NYW website:
http://www.newyankee.com/
Search around though there is lots of plans available and links within this board. Just do a search, keep your sense of humour and hang on.

I would start by heading to my nearest Big W or Bunnies......they can be bought for under $200 from memory.
That way you not only save the wood but also the heartache.

If you can find somewhere that sells something you like the look of (eg Bunnings - but more likely a garden centre) then study it and see how they've done it.

These are normaly listed as porch swings, if you google on Porch swing plans (located above the tread) you will find heaps of people selling plans and some free ones.
