African teak porch swings are one of the best options you can choose for indoor and outdoor use. African teak is a durable, strong and beautiful wood that is perfect for outdoor use. There are many benefits to choosing a porch swing made from African teak, and in this article, we will explore them in detail.

First and foremost, African teak is a very durable wood. It is known for its resistance to rot, decay and insects, making it perfect for outdoor use. This means that your porch swing will last for many years to come, even in the harsh elements. This is particularly important if you live in an area with a lot of rain or humidity, as other woods may not hold up as well.

African teak is also a very strong wood, which means that it can support a significant amount of weight. This is perfect for porch swings, as they need to be able to hold the weight of multiple people at once. You can have peace of mind knowing that your porch swing is sturdy and safe, even when it is fully loaded.

Another benefit of African teak porch swings is its beautiful appearance. The wood has a natural golden-brown color that is rich and warm. It has a unique grain pattern that adds character and interest to the wood. As the wood ages, it will develop a silver-gray patina that adds to its beauty. The natural beauty of African teak will enhance the look of any porch, and it will be a great addition to any home.

African teak is also very easy to maintain. It is naturally resistant to rot and decay, so it doesn’t require any special treatment to keep it looking beautiful. However, if you want to keep the wood looking its best, it is recommended that you apply a coat of oil to it every few years. This will help to protect the wood from the elements and keep it looking great for many years to come.

African teak porch swings are also eco-friendly. African teak is a sustainable wood that is grown and harvested in a responsible manner. The trees are grown on managed plantations, and the wood is harvested in a way that ensures the survival of the trees. This means that you can feel good about your purchase knowing that it is not only good for you but also good for the environment.

Finally, porch swings made from African teak are very comfortable. The wood is smooth and warm to the touch, which makes it perfect for sitting on. The natural beauty of the wood will add to the overall ambiance of your porch, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. You can enjoy the outdoors and the natural beauty of the wood while you relax in your porch swing.

In conclusion, porch swings made from African teak are an excellent choice for any home. They are durable, strong, beautiful, easy to maintain, eco-friendly, and comfortable. They will last for many years, even in harsh weather conditions. They are perfect for relaxing and unwinding, and they will add to the overall ambiance of your porch. If you’re looking to add a porch swing to your home, consider one made from African teak – you won’t be disappointed!

Incorporate elements of nature into your indoor living space with The Decatur all-natural solid white oak porch swing. White oak porch swings are an excellent choice for a robust and durable porch swing. In addition, the all-natural white oak porch swing is the perfect choice if you want a swing with little to zero maintenance.

While white oak is naturally rot-resistant, minimal sun and moisture exposure will increase its performance. We recommend a covered porch or patio for all-natural wooden swings. Organic white oak porch swings are also perfect for indoors. The absence of stains and paint makes it safe indoors around people and their pets.

Easy Maintenance

There are benefits of using natural wooden swings that are free of paints and stains. First, you never have to worry about damaging the finish. Any fine scratches on the surface will usually blend in with the wood grain. Since white oak is very hard, it will take a severe beating before any scratches are noticeable. Second, you can sand away any fine scratches or markings with 240 or 320-grit sandpaper. Finally, soap and water can easily wash off dirt and other markings.

Many products we use daily are mass-produced in factories, most overseas. So there are many unknowns when buying an imported porch swing. As a result, it can be challenging to know whether a product you’re purchasing will be of high quality.

We do things differently at Georgia Swings. For example, we don’t build barn doors or tabletops. Instead, we focus all of our attention on just building swings. An American-made Georgia Swings brand porch swing gives you confidence that your product is constructed with care and made of solid natural wood and high-quality finishes. We’ve detailed the process below, so you’ll know what to expect when placing an order.

Process Overview

Building a handcrafted porch swing from scratch takes time. When placing an order with Georgia Swings, you’ll get to choose the size of your swing, the type of wood, the color of the stain or paint, an optional topcoat finish, the seat depth, the hanging design, a cup holder option, and an option for swing cushions, depending on the product.

As you can see, your swing is entirely customizable, and going through the process of crafting a custom-made item starts when placing your order. Remember that we will only put your item into our queue once your order is received, and peak seasons have longer lead times. Therefore, the fastest way to receive your porch swing is to place an order as soon as possible. Once you submit your order, the building process will begin. We do not cut corners and rush through the necessary steps. We perform detailed quality assurance checks throughout the process to ensure that every swing meets the highest quality standards.

The Selection

After you’ve decided which porch swing design to buy, you’ll begin by choosing the type of wood for your swing. The standard wood options for porch swings are western red cedar, kiln-dried pine, or white oak. Bed swings are made from western red cedar unless specified otherwise. You’ll also get to select the length of the porch swing and the seat depth of the swing.

Once the wood is selected, the parts are fabricated by surfacing, ripping, sanding, routing, jointing, and assembled before moving on to the finishing stage.

We recommend buying a Georgia Swings brand hanging kit since they provide exceptional quality and stability. There is no need to worry about sagging bed swings with our high-quality rope kits.

Finishing the Swing

After preparing the wood and assembling the parts for the porch swing, we move on to the finishing stage. There are various stains and paints to choose from for your swing. More transparent and natural stain colors bring out the natural color of the wood you select; there are also darker stains, like Jacobean or Burnt Hickory. Also, you can choose a solid white or black paint finish for your swing.

If you’ve chosen a stain finish, you can select the clearcoat option, which will help protect the wood against UV rays and moisture. Adding more coats of clear urethane also makes a smoother finish. We recommend at least two urethane top coats if you want a stain finish on swings made from western red cedar.

Shipping and Receiving your Porch Swing

Custom shipping pallets are designed for each swing. The pallets are constructed of solid wood to provide a secure way of transporting your fully assembled swing across the United States. You will need a power drill with a standard Phillips drill bit and a T-25 drill bit to remove the screws and disassemble the pallet.

At Georgia Swings, we offer top-quality porch swings that are both beautiful and comfortable, and we always ensure that our products are the best bang for your buck on the market.

When in the market for porch swing beds, you’ll want to buy one of the best bed swings of the highest quality possible. Installing swing beds outside require that they withstand a fair amount of exposure to moisture and inclement weather. However, we recommend installing under a covered porch or patio since it gives you the most protection. In addition, bed swings are much larger than your traditional porch swings and, therefore, must be made to accommodate the additional load requirements. Georgia Swings builds bed swings with all of these variables in mind.

You’ll often hear the old saying that companies “just don’t make furniture like they used to.” Too often, companies cut corners, using low-quality materials and machines to churn out furniture that doesn’t meet a high quality standard. We choose to do things differently not only because we have integrity and a passion for woodworking but also because we want Georgia Swings to set the precedence for building quality swing beds.

Features of the Savannah Swing Bed

The Savannah is one of the best swing beds on the market for many reasons. One thing that sets the Georgia Swings Savannah swing bed apart from others is the elegant design. This daybed porch swing is aesthetically gorgeous with or without pillows. Pillows should be optional, not required to get the desired look and feel you select for your bed swing. The Savannah looks incredible from all sides! However, it is not just a pretty face. It is also highly robust. The high balusters essentially give you the option to use the sides as a backrest also.

The Savannah daybed swing is handcrafted with solid western red cedar, a durable timber known for use in outdoor projects as it is naturally resistant to rot, bugs, and decay. The wood has a classic look when stained, from natural to rich, darker colors. The western red cedar does have a natural rosy undertone, hence the red cedar name, and it looks excellent stained and still looks beautiful regardless of the chosen stain color. In addition, the stability of the wood allows it to withstand the heat and humidity of the summer without bending or breaking. All Georgia Swings brand swing beds can support up to 1350 pounds.

What Makes Georgia Swing Beds Unique?

All of our swings are handmade in America. Our bed swings are assembled entirely by hand in our shop by professional craftsmen. It’s rare to find handcrafted furniture with the attention to detail and quality woodworking features you’ll find in a Georgia Swings brand product. When choosing porch bed swings, you should avoid lower-quality materials, including manufactured wood. These items may come with a lower price tag but often will cost more in the long run; they won’t last that long and may not support very much weight.

With the Savannah, the only thing you’ll need to worry about is finding a good book to read as you enjoy the outdoors.

Summary

When comparing the Savannah, which is undoubtedly one of the best bed swings, to the other swings on the market, the difference is clear: there is no comparison between similar items and this unique piece of furniture. Instead, the Savannah gives you a show-stopping piece of furniture to display on the front porch, patio, or sunroom while also providing a comfortable and relaxing place to spend your time. There are three standard sizes to choose from online, or you may have your swing custom built to fit a space of any size. With a carefully curated selection of rich stain finishes and cushion fabrics, your ideal piece of furniture with customization options awaits you!

Hanging Design & Cupholders Options

To make the best use of your outdoor space, we have decided to allow you to customize your porch with many great functional options. Currently, you can get any Georgia Swings brand porch swing with either chain or rope design hanging options. In addition, while the Ellijay and the Canton swings come with built-in cupholders, you are now able to add the cupholder option to the Decatur porch swing right from the product page. This option was only made available to in-store shoppers, but now anyone who purchases the Decatur porch swing online will be able to add built-in cupholders to their swing.

Stain & Urethane Finish Options

You may select from one of our 12 hand-picked finish options to beautify your wooden swing. Wood finishes include semi-transparent stains, solid stains, clear urethane, and unfinished. However, if you select unfinished, we recommend that you add a wood protectant. The solid stains cover the wood in the same manner that paint does. In comparison, semi-transparent stains allow the natural wood grain to show while tinting the wood to your desired preference. Finally, spar urethane provides moisture and UV protection while showing natural color and wood grain.

Custom-Size Porch Swings

Our standard porch swings range from 4 to 7 feet in total length. You may also order any custom-size porch swings or bed swings. The total length is measured from the outside armrest. Our porch swings also have seat depth options that allow our clients to select either 18″ or 20″ seat depth. However, the Decatur porch swing offers three size options of 18″, 20″, and 24″ seat depth.

Custom-Size Bed Swings

Our standard bed swings are available in crib, twin, and full size. The total width and length of bed swings depend on the design you select. You can find the outside dimensions of each bed swing design on their product page. In addition, the bed swings category page shows the current Georgia Swings bed swing designs available for purchase.

Porch Swing & Bed Swing Cushions

All of our swings can be custom-made in any size to accommodate your space requirements. Therefore, the swing cushions and pillows are also customized to fit the porch and bed swings. We offer bed swing cushions, porch swing cushions, lumbar pillows, and bolster pillows with the purchase of any handcrafted Georgia Swings brand swings.
