Porch Swing Styles

All porch swing styles can be used outdoors. How do you decide which one suite you? First, let's find out about the beautiful woods that porch swings are offered in. Western Red Cedar is a fine-grain, dimensionally stable wood that is naturally resistant to "Mother Nature". This wood will last forever. Another very popular wood is Alder. This wood usually comes painted with a high-gloss, two-coat, water-based enamel and is good stable wood. Next, is cypress, which is a lovely and extremely durable wood. This wood will give you many years of use. This is why it's among the most popular styles of wood out there. Mahogany weathers well with only a small amount of shrinkage and checking. It is good to note that the EnviroWood line is a little different than standard wood styles because it needs no waterproofing or staining when used outdoors.
