Large Personalised Porch Swing

This elegant oak swing we have named our Porch Swing as it is unlike our traditional garden rope swings due to its size. This is a swings you can cover with a throw or sheep skin with a cushion and sit comfortably and gently sway back and forth.

The oak swing seat itself is huge, wider than most oak boards you can pick up from a sawmill. It is specially chosen for its wide spam, measuring 4.5cm thick x 40cm deep x 1 meter long. This swing is larger enough to take 2 people but designed to be more of a lounging style swing.

Because of the size of the oak swing seat the ropes are fed in and out in eight places creating two large loops. These loops are then collected and tied off with a beautiful spliced knot which becomes the rope used to hang the swing. The effect is stunning.

Please note: These swings are not suitable anyone under 14.

Finish:

As with everything we do here at Make Me Something Special, we have spent the time researching and sourcing the perfect materials available. Each oak swing is handmade from one piece of Air Dried Superior Grade English Oak. This Timber is perfectly seasoned and adjusted for outdoor conditions. Finished by hand with Liberon Superior Danish Oil which apart from being very hard-wearing, water, heat and alcohol resistant it also has a UV filter so your swing will keep its golden colour for longer. However, you can choose to have your wooden swing seats finished in our new Diamond-Coating for maximum protection.

Our UK made Rope:

All of our personalised oak garden swings come fitted with 5 metres of Synthetic Hemp Rope (on both sides). The rope is handmade in the UK by experts. The rope is a strong marine quality that is mellow in colour, soft to touch, and being synthetic it won’t swell, shrink or rot, unlike natural rope. Longer lengths of rope are available if required, please let us know how much you need.

All Swings come ready to hang. You can tie your oak swing directly from a tree branch or we can supply marine quality fittings, ideal for adjustment without having to climb the tree. They can also be hung from frames, porches and other such like.

Personalisation:

Our tree swings are available blank with standard engraving or can be personalised with your own personal message. Up to 50 characters per side.
