Why this swing is awesome: We love this swing because it is made from high quality cypress wood. Cypress wood grows in the swamps of Louisiana, so it is naturally water and insect resistant. Cypress wood also has a natural beauty that will last for years. We believe that our cypress swing is the greatest value that you will find anywhere. It is five feet wide with built in cupholders in each arm, with excellent craftsmanship, and it is priced below many other swings with fewer features. All hardware required for hanging is included with the swing. Included is the chain, springs - for added comfort, and all assembly hardware and instructions. Assembly is quick and easy using only a couple of wrenches. Throw Away Your Paint Brush This beautiful cypress wood does not require any painting or staining. The wood will naturally weather with a grayish tint to the wood. This added benefit means that you can just hang and swing. Of course, if you want to paint or stain the swing it will turn out beautiful. Swing Dimensions Width including arms: *1 inches. Arm width: 3.5 inches. Seat depth: *0 inches. Seat width: *0 inches.
