A&L Furniture Traditional English Swing

Poly lumber is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic made from recycled materials. It is chosen for outdoor furniture because it mimics the look of wood but is significantly more durable, resisting fading, cracking, and splintering without requiring annual staining or sealing.

Yes, the swing includes the necessary hanging chains and stainless steel hardware. You will need to provide your own sturdy overhead support structure, such as a porch beam or a dedicated swing stand.

This swing has a weight capacity of 500 pounds. It is designed to comfortably accommodate up to three adults, though you should always ensure your mounting hardware and overhead structure are rated to support this total weight.

Assembly is required, but it is straightforward. The pieces are pre-drilled, and the included stainless steel hardware is designed for a secure fit. Expect to spend about 30 to 45 minutes putting it together with basic household tools.

Maintenance is minimal. Because the material is non-porous, you can simply wash it with soap and water or a mild pressure wash to remove dirt or pollen. There is no need for painting, sanding, or weatherproofing treatments.

Like most outdoor materials, poly lumber can absorb heat if left in direct, intense sunlight for long periods. However, it does not retain heat as aggressively as metal, and the slatted design allows for airflow, which helps keep the seat cooler.
