Description

Make a purchase the whole family will enjoy. The Cedar Classic Porch Swing is made of Western Red Cedar, an excellent and rich-looking wood that is kiln-dried for select-grade quality. The wood is then double-dipped in a UV-protectant oil stain for a rich and beautiful finish. Top it off with smoothly sanded edges and a contoured seat for a very comfortable swing. All edges are sanded smooth.



What We Like About This Porch Swing:


The Cedar Classic Swing brings together everything we love about porch swings. It is constructed of quality cedar wood, which is well-suited for outdoor use because it is rot resistant and is a natural insect repellent. A wide design and graceful arching backrest seat beckon to be enjoyed. The contoured-for-comfort seat never disappoints.


This wood is not pressure-treated. If your swing is exposed to a great deal of humidity, precipitation, and/or sun, as in coastal or mountain regions, we recommend you treat it with a sealant up to twice a year. If your swing will hang in drier conditions with less weather exposure, we recommend treating it anywhere from once a year to once every two years.


Hanging chains are 7 feet in length. Length from the top of the chain to the inverted "v" is 4.5 feet. This chain is a zinc-plated, 10-gauge wire, sometimes referred to as a double loop or twin loop chain. Hanging clearance will depend on how high you hang the swing and the force used to create a swinging motion. Also add the spring and hanger set to your shopping cart below for more added comfort.

More About Cedar Wood
Cedar wood is lightweight and resistant to both cracking and moisture rot. The oils of this resilient wood guard against insect attack and decay, and their distinctive aroma acts as a mild insect repellant. Cedar is a dependable choice for outdoor furniture, either as a finished or unfinished wood. Over time, unfinished cedar left outdoors will weather to a silvery gray patina. This natural process does not compromise the strength or integrity of the wood.

I purchased this swing for my front porch. It is perfect for the location and was easy to assemble. The workmanship is excellent. I was so happy with this purchase that, when my front patio was completed, I purchased the glider of the same style expecting the same quality as the swing. I was not disappointed.

I got the impression that the swing is so much in demand (probably because of its relatively low price) that they can’t make them fast enough, so quality suffers. For example, some of the seat slats were awful in appearance. Because of the difference in the wood grain of these slats, the harder grain absorbed less stain which resulted in them looking like they have zebra stripes in two very different shades of brown painted on them. And the person who assembled the back put the gaudy-looking things on the seatback where everyone would be sure to see them. I unscrewed them and put them on the seat bottom toward the back where they would not be so prominently in view. While doing this, I discovered that not enough brass screws had been installed to secure the slats, so I substituted sheetrock screws in place of the missing ones.

Quick Arrival, however, subpar quality

Comments about Most Comfortable! Cedar Classic Porch Swing:

I had high hopes when the swing arrived relatively quickly, however, upon opening the box, immediately observed a large gash in one of the seat boards, that had been stained over at the factory, prior to shipment. I was really surprised that someone would allow such a bad gash on the seat slat be placed right side up, but I guess they were hoping no one would complain. I also found a huge chip of wood from the lower support that is clearly noticeable when looking down at the seat. Again, very poor quality control and using all of the wood, regardless of quality. I called Customer Service, who were very good and gave me a few dollars off, however, I would have rather had a seat without a noticeable gash. Also, my S hooks were missing. I called and they said they would send me the missing hooks.

If you are over 5'4" tall, don't buy this swing! The seating depth is so shallow that it is not comfortable. Sorry I bought it.

    Love, love, love this swing. Hung it in the tree in my backyard that is on a golf course. I sit there every morning and evening (and any spare time I have). Had several people come by wanting to sit with me. It's beautiful, easy to put together and to hang!

    Our swing is located on a lower patio area; suspended from the bottom side of an above elevated deck. It really gives the area an attractive look. Definitely get the springs and some comfortable cushions. With feet dangling out one side, I recall falling asleep on it last summer….. it is so comfortable!
