A Little About Wood
*Pine is less expense and looks great when painted or stained. Pine can warp overtime, which is why our frame supports run vertically to the front and rear of the swing.
*Cedar is a durable wood that is naturally resistant to rot, decay, insect attacks, and resists moisture absorption. It tends to last longer, needs less maintenance, and doesn't warp or split as easily. If left bare, cedar will naturally turn grey. It can also be sealed to preserve its natural beauty, or it can be painted/stained.
* Cypress readily accepts paints and stains. However, many homeowners and design professionals select cypress for the appeal of its honey-like hues, which can be maintained with a clear sealer or if not sealed it will weather to a dark grey.
***Sinker cypress is available by special order only, please email for info eric@nateandlane.com
*Teak is extremely weather resistant, hard wearing, rot resistant, termite resistant, and almost impervious to the effects of the sun, rain, frost, and snow. Teak is an expensive species and requires maintenance when used outdoors. When left unoiled, overtime it will take on a silver-grey patina.
