Old-Growth Again Porch Swings are now available in three grades of Redwood: recycled old-growth (from trees over two hundred years old), Mature (from trees averaging one hundred years old) and Young (from trees averaging fifty years old). Photo Shows Old-Growth Redwood Outdoor swings like all of our redwood patio furniture are built by hand in Annapolis, California. We design finely finished "Forever" adirondack furniture using thick over-sized boards of high quality Redwood. If you have been looking for beautiful and strong outdoor furniture that is built to last for real, you have finally found it! All OGA furniture is overbuilt to survive the abuses of family and friends and the weather... without maintenance of any kind. All of our furniture is thoroughly finished with many details you ordinarily cannot find. For example, all of our furniture , including the Porch Swing, is bolted together and has metal plates underneath the legs for extra strength and protection. For added durability we use only stainless steel bolts and screws when building our patio furniture. No glue or nails are used. The quality of the wood from old-growth trees is extraordinary and is no longer available in the lumber market. Please compare our Porch Swings to other furniture manufacturers and you will easily see and feel the difference. Take a moment and study the photos, dimensions and weights of our swings - you will agree that our contemporary furniture is significantly stronger and heavier than anything else available on the market today. Like all of our furniture, the Porch Swing is built from the same high-quality, all heartwood Redwood and finished with the same attention to detail. The redwood frame on this Porch Swing is made from full-dimension four-by-fours timbers. May be purchased with or without the frame. All hardware is included either way. If you order a Porch Swing without the frame, you will receive enough chain so that the swing can hang from a height of up to ten feet. If you need more chain than that, just let us know. Dimensions: The Four-Foot garden swing is four feet wide by 23 inches high by 28 inches deep. The back is nineteen inches high from the top of the seat to the top of the backrest. The frame is six feet six inches high, six-and-a-half-feet wide and the base is four feet deep.
