The Pergola Swing – What Every Yard is Missing

pergola swing

Consider a piece of outdoor wood furniture. A Pergola Swing could fit perfectly in that location and bring enjoyment to you and your family.

Yes, the Pergola Swing might just be the right choice to spruce up that spot!

The swing mounts in the center of the Pergola on a heavy duty suspension chain. Both pieces are handcrafted from lightly sanded clear Western Red Cedar which make it resistant to insects and decay. It can be left to naturally age and over the years it will slightly weather to a silver gray color and the wood grain will become slightly raised.. The sealer helps to block the pores of the wood. This will keep the grain from becoming raised but still allow the wood to turn the silver gray color.

Cedar can be stained. There are many different color stains that can be used to preserve the tones of the wood. Painting cedar is not recommended because of flaking and peeling. This Pergola Swing is only one of the many items in our fine outdoor furniture collection. When you browse our website, you will find other swings, picnic tables, benches, lounges, planters, patio tables, chairs, colorful cushions and so much more.
