Our Choice Recommendation: 4ft Coral Coast Pleasant Bay

Preview	Product	Rating
	Coral Coast Coral Coast Pleasant Bay Curved Back Painted Porch Swing, Black, Painted Wood, 4 ft.	39 Reviews

Set up the Coral Coast Pleasant Bay  for a sleek, modern swing that will look beautiful on your front or back porch. This swing is painted black for a durable and long-lasting finish and comes with everything you need to put it in place securely in no time.

The Coral Coast Pleasant Bay all-weather curved-back acacia wood porch swing is an eye-catching addition to any porch, patio, or garden with its strong black finish. Acacia Wood, which is sturdy and moisture-resistant, was used to build the swing. The black paint was flawlessly done. It has a traditional slatted back and seat style with a 4-foot hanging chain.

It was a bit challenging to follow the instructions. We were a little perplexed when we went to hook up the swing and it was tilting to one side because it didn’t come with the equipment to hang it. I also had to lower the swing because it had a squared-off seat in front that would otherwise cut into my legs. Something to think about. 

Pros

• Made from acacia wood that is eco-friendly and environmentally sourced.
• Easy to keep clean and maintained by simply wiping it down as needed.

Cons

• Some customers report this offer only lasting a couple of years.
• May arrive cracked or damage in some rare instances.

Option #2: 4 ft Cypress Lumber

	Ecommersify Inc 4 Feet Ft Made in The USA Cypress Lumber Roll Back Porch Swing with Rot-Resistant...	61 Reviews

The rollback design of the 4 ft Cypress Lumber  provides a quaint accent to any porch. This swing is timeless in its design and is comfortable for anyone in the family to sit on and enjoy. It features wide, safe slates that are sanded down to prevent splinters or cuts from their sharp edges, so it’s okay for the little ones to use as well. All of the hardware is zinc-plated to provide as much durability and longevity as possible.

Otherwise known as the “Eternal wood”, these swings are made entirely by hand from cypress. You can opt not to paint, stain, or waterseal it because it is inherently insect-resistant. Heavy-duty adaptable zinc-coated chains that are long enough to accommodate a nine-foot ceiling are included with swings. Because no harsh chemicals are required to maintain the wood, these swings are also environmentally friendly. The swing is cozy, lightweight, and attractive to look at. Overall, a welcome surprise and excellent value.

With slats which are 1 inch thick, 1 3/4 inches wide, and routered (without sharp edges), these cypress swings are robustly built. Cypress wood performs just as well outdoors as teak wood, but can cost up to ten times less. Cypress trees are preserved and shielded from insects and decay by a naturally occurring substance called cypressine.

Pros

• Can hold up to 500 pounds and can hold one or two people safely.
• Comes almost completely pre-assembled, so all you have to do is attach the back to the seat and then put on the arms.

Cons

• The included directions are minimal and can be confusing.
• May arrive missing some pieces.

Option #5: 4’ Natural Cedar

Preview	Product	Rating
	Kilmer Creek E-BigSale 4' Natural Cedar Porch Swing, Amish Crafted - Includes Chain & Springs	317 Reviews

This beautiful 4’ Natural Cedar  gives you everything you’re looking for and more in an elegant and timeless swing design. It’s made of durable cedar that can hold up well to exposure to the elements, and it comes with the chains you need to hang it safely as well. This option features a very simple design with a carved and accented top piece and a slatted back and seat. The seat is rounded to allow plenty of room for your legs to be comfortable when you use it, too.

This swing has excellent workmanship and wood quality. For the price, it’s a great value. The seating area has been well sanded, however the area between the boards has not. The instructions that came with the swing stated that since the wood is “natural” and has no protective covering on it, you must treat it with something like polyurethane. This was the only problem with the swing. The exposed wood will likely break down in two years if you don’t protect it against moisture (and the winter). You must dismantle the swing entirely in order to properly coat the wood with poly. You can acquire everything you need to complete this from the usual places: Ace, Home Depot, or Lowes. Just make sure you know what you’re doing before you try.

Pros

• This product is easy to put together even though it does not come pre-assembled in any way.
• Features a design that fits in well with most existing porches.

Cons

• You will need to stain this offer before hanging it.
• The included instructions may be difficult to understand without prior swing assembly experience.
