» Swing looks good but is cheaply made. On arrival one of the back slats was broke. I guess you get what you pay for.
» This porch swing is great, but I did have issues with the shipping. UPS need to work on some things!
» Seems like its a very nice swing for the price. Very easy to put together and the chains are very nice also. Super fast shipping.
» The price was awesome. The swing is a little flimsy but is strong enough for the wife and I to enjoy the sunset on. The chains and anchors for hanging it are good quality. Assembly took 10 minutes ...
» The swing was exactly what we had expected. It was almost all put together when we received it. It is very nice for the price.

Backyard Teak Patio
Porch Swings are now made from a wide range of building materials. The most common are wood and wicker. Popular woods used are cedar, teak, pine, maple, and oak. The materials vary greatly in terms of strength and durability. While Oak is the strongest, it also tend to be very heavy. Cedar offers the greatest strength to lightest weight ratio. The wood is very light and has 80% the strength of oak. Cedar also has natural properties that enable the wood to resist rot and decay. In addition, it won't bow or sag, crack or chip making it one of outdoor furniture most desired building materials. Pine is lightweight and relatively inexpensive but is soft and dents and cracks easily. The durability of wicker varies depending on the materials used to make the wicker.
Porch Swing physical features like seat depth, angle of the back and space between the slats, length of the seat, and joint construction can vary widely. The depth of the seat is one feature that is very important. Seat depth can range from 18 to 36 Inches. There is no one correct depth. It's a personal choice based on comfort.
For maximal comfort, the back of the Swing should be slightly tilted. And there should be some space between the slats to allow air to circulate.
Swings can generally hold one to three people depending on the length of the seat. But keep in mind that the longer the seat the heavier the supports that will be required. Generally, a Porch Swing that seats two comfortably is recommended.
Finally, the functional nature of Porch Swings requires that the joints be screwed or bolted together. Joints that are nailed together are not recommended as a Porch Swing is a functional piece of and the nails will come loose with use.
Another criteria to consider is whether to buy a finished or unfinished Porch Swing. Porch Swings are now available in a variety of finishes. Some are stained, others painted in colors ranging from white to a rainbow of multiple colors. Many Porch Swings are also unfinished. The unfinished Porch Swings provide the most options later and some can be left to age naturally without finishing. Unfinished Cedar, for example, is outdoor ready. No finishing is required.
An unfinished Patio Furniture Porch Swing also leaves lots of dress up options. While it might be difficult to find cushions to match multi-colored Porch Swings, by starting with an unfinished Outdoor Furniture swing, you could pick the stain or paint to match the cushion!
Installation is another important consideration. If you have a covered Porch with exposed joists, your installation job is automatically made easier. However, your options re: length and weight of the Porch Swing may be limited. If you intend on building your own Porch Swing support for the garden or an uncovered porch, more options are open to you as you can build the support according to the weight and length of the Porch Swing.
By considering the building material, physical features, the finish, and your particular installation requirements in advance, your task of choosing the Porch Swing that is best for you will be much easier.
