Know before you buy
Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to decay, rot, and insect damage, making it an ideal material for outdoor furniture. It is also lightweight yet durable, allowing the swing to withstand changing weather conditions over time.
Measure your available space and ensure you have at least 2 to 3 feet of clearance behind and to the sides of the swing for comfortable movement. The 4' model is best for smaller areas, while the 5' and 6' models provide more room for multiple people.
Yes, the swing comes with standard 7-foot chains designed to accommodate ceilings up to 9 feet high. If you have an 8-foot ceiling, an optional 8-foot rope kit is available as an alternative hanging method.
While the cedar is naturally durable, we recommend periodically cleaning the wood with mild soap and water. If you choose a stained finish, you may need to reapply a wood preservative or stain every few years to maintain the color and protect against UV damage.
The optional Sundown fabric cushions are designed for outdoor use, but they are not completely waterproof. To extend their lifespan and prevent mildew, it is best to store them indoors or in a covered area during heavy rain or the off-season.
Yes, the swing is constructed with zinc-plated and yellow zinc hardware. This coating provides significant rust resistance, ensuring the structural integrity of the swing remains secure even when exposed to outdoor humidity.
