{"product_id":"cedar-log-5ft-porch-swing","title":"Cedar Log 5ft Porch Swing","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cedar Log 5ft Porch Swing is the classic configuration — a full five-foot hanging bench swing with the solid back and seat profile that defines the form. Built from 100% Northern White Cedar, the naturally rot and insect resistant wood Lakeland Mills has used in Edmore, Michigan since 1923. Contoured seat slats. Mortise and tenon joints at the structural connections. Galvanized exterior hardware throughout, including the hanging hardware. Designed to hang from a porch ceiling or beam and stay there — season after season, for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Northern White Cedar Over Chinese Fir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost five-foot porch swings sold online are made from Chinese fir. The cost to manufacture is lower. The product photos look nearly identical. But Chinese fir isn't rot-resistant, and a swing that hangs through full weather exposure — including humid summers, rainy seasons, and winter temperature swings — will degrade in 1 to 3 years. Joints loosen. Wood splits. The swing becomes a maintenance problem rather than a porch fixture. Northern White Cedar is naturally rot and insect resistant. It holds fasteners tightly across the full life of the piece and lasts 10 to 20 years under normal outdoor conditions. The material is what separates a porch swing you replace from one you keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5ft Classic Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive feet is the standard for a two-adult porch swing — wide enough for genuine comfort side by side, proportioned to work on most porch configurations.  Pair with the Cedar Log 5ft A-Frame Swing Mount (CF500) to place this swing in the yard rather than on a porch, or hang it from any overhead beam with the included hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% Northern White Cedar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 5 feet (60 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Mortise and tenon joints, galvanized exterior hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging hardware NOT included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Natural cream — weathers to silver-grey, or apply a penetrating oil, stain, or paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips partially assembled with all hardware and instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Edmore, Michigan — family-built since 1923\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: CF1124\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lakeland Mills Furniture Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43493538660386,"sku":"CF1124","price":404.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/0419\/9202\/files\/CF1124-1.jpg?v=1739013106","url":"https:\/\/lakelandmills.com\/products\/cedar-log-5ft-porch-swing","provider":"Lakeland Mills Furniture Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
