Red Wood Porch Swing

Greetings & Salutations,

I built this swing a couple of years ago for the front porch and had some success selling a few.

I have 5 coats of spa polyurethane for protection and it has held up quite well. I let it stay out the first year but did take it in this winter.

I have built this style swing in treated lumber, which is what I started with to get a feel for how I wanted the final design, and the latest is cedar which in some ways I like much better than the redwood especially the price of the wood.

I also used the scrap from the treated swing to build a nice and very comfortable lawn or porch chair. Comes apart and stands up for easy storage.
