I just finished my stand using a similar swing set kit. Went with 16' for the top beam, which works out just about perfect. Installed L-tracks to provide some flexibility in my suspension angles.
Couple tips:
- Get an exact measurement of the inner dimensions of the kit and try to find lumber to match. Larger lumber can always be shaved down, but the first set of 4x4's I picked up were much too loose.
- Definitely have an extra set of hands to help with assembly. A pressure treated 4x6 that's 16 feet long is freaking HEAVY.
Works out great. My wife kicked me out of my hammock to test it, then promptly took a 3 hour nap.
