T Shaped DIY Swingset?

I’ve been looking at swingsets online and came across a a style of swing set I hadn’t seen before and would like to (if safe) build out in wood for my yard. It was a "T" shape, with 2 steel poles running up the center, then a steel pole accross the top with a swing hanging on each side, nice and simple. My thought was 2 4x4 or 6x6 vertical pressure treated posts cemented into the ground (3 to 4 ft) and then another 6x6 accross the top with a swing on each size. I would use lag bolts, mending plates and corner brackets to fasten it all together. Anyone have any thoughts or advice for this sort of style? I cant seem to find DIY plans anywhere, and the website listing the produce is way, way out of price range as it’s commercial. submitted by /u/Big0Lkitties [link] [comments]
