Wooden Porch Swings Are for the Whole Family

Porch swings made from wood are affordable and come in a wide range of styles and woods. Imagine a gently contoured seat, delicate lattice back made from pressure treated pine. Add a matching table, glider, rocker, chair or settee. Finish your swing to match your décor using latex paint, polyurethane or a stain.

Hardwoods such as teak, oak or Brazilian cherry, cypress, red cedar wicker, rattan, mahogany, cypress, willow, vinyl or a combination of the above are other popular and reliable choices for outdoor furniture. Online sites offer great advice and tips regarding the care and maintenance of wooden and other outdoor furniture.

Today’s wooden swings come in many models including self supporting a-frames with hanging chains and hardware included. Many models also include a canopy to protect you from the rain or sun. Other models can be permanently attached to your porch overhang or freestanding structure like a gazebo.

Many swings ordered online are shipped flat to save you money, they must be assembled at home. They require little effort and come with everything you need to get your swing up and swaying. Finish your day with a good book, a glass of wine and a gentle sway on your new porch swing.
