Our Shade Tree Mahogany Porch Swing is classic and comfortable, with a seat that curves beneath you and a back that flows behind you to provide maximum comfort and support. Exposed stainless steel square-drive screws set against smooth as glass, clear coated Mahogany is breathtaking. To ensure durability and a classic appearance, the Shade Tree Mahogany Swing features stainless steel bolts and screws, brass fittings in the arms (to protect the wood from being damaged by the hanging chain) and wood plugged screw holes to provide smooth surfaces. The rounded seat and back slats do feature exposed stainless steel square-drive screws for visual contrast but rest assured, they are flush with the seat so they will not catch or scratch. Seat and back braces are substantial, finished out to 1 ½ inches. 3/8 inch stainless steel carriage bolts are used to secure the back and the seat of the swing as well as to connect the hanging chain. Timeless and traditional, Mahogany is a hardwood and has a beautiful grain and a reddish brown color, which darkens over time. It is also very durable, insect and rot resistant and is regarded by many as the premiere wood for making fine furniture. We recommend that it be sealed with oil or a clear coat to show off the rich grain and color. The clear coat is sprayed on, not brushed, for a smooth even surface and will slightly darken the wood's natural color, seal out moisture and provide a smooth surface to wipe clean. The oil finish seals and protects while providing a non-glossy surface to show off the wood grain. The swing may also be left natural and will weather to a light silvery gray. We recommend that you periodically wash your swing using mild soap and water to remove dirt or stains. Please note: The clear coat finish selection is intended for placement on covered patios and porches rather than direct sunlight.
