This craftsman style swing is made of clear kiln dried wester red cedar and can be finished with a high quality stain, unstained or one of our colored washes. You will enjoy this porch swing for generations. We use full dimension cedar, not thin, filmsy wood like so many other use for construction. The back slats are a full 2x2 thick so they will hold up very well. Overall width from outside to outside(underneath boards) is 58.5".
