Cedar Log 4ft A-Frame Swing Mount

The Cedar Log 4ft A-Frame Swing Mount is built from 100% Northern White Cedar logs — the same solid log material that goes into every piece in the Contoured Comfort collection. The frame uses mortise and tenon joinery and galvanized exterior hardware throughout, creating a freestanding structure stable enough for real daily use without anchoring to a deck or ceiling. Set it up anywhere on your property and pair it with a 4ft cedar log swing for a complete yard seating installation.

Frame material matters as much as swing material, and that's where Northern White Cedar pulls ahead of the competition. Many A-frame swing stands on the market are built from Chinese fir, a wood that typically lasts one to three years before moisture, insects, and UV exposure degrade the structural members. Northern White Cedar contains natural oils that resist rot and insects without chemical treatment, and frames built from it routinely last ten to twenty years with nothing more than occasional cleaning and seasonal storage or covering.

The 4ft mount ships with all assembly hardware included. It's designed specifically to pair with the Cedar Log 4ft Porch Swing (CF1123), sold separately. If you'd like the frame sealed, stained, or finished before shipment, contact us — Lakeland Mills has been making cedar furniture in Edmore, Michigan since 1923 and can discuss finish options with you directly.

About Cedar Log Construction

Every piece in the Cedar Log Contoured Comfort collection — including this A-frame mount — is built from 100% Northern White Cedar harvested from Michigan and the surrounding Great Lakes region. Northern White Cedar is one of the few wood species with natural rot and insect resistance built into the wood itself, the result of oils present throughout the grain. That means no chemical pressure treatment is needed, and the wood performs outdoors from the first season. Cedar log furniture from Lakeland Mills is manufactured in Edmore, Michigan using the same mortise and tenon joinery and galvanized exterior hardware the company has relied on since 1923.

A Note on Log Checking

Log checking — the small splits or cracks that appear along the length of a cedar log — is a natural characteristic of solid log construction, not a defect. As logs dry and adjust to outdoor conditions, the outer layers contract faster than the core, producing surface checks. This process does not affect structural integrity or load capacity.
