Great American Woodies Nantucket Adirondack Swing
There are a lot of different elements that come together to make quality products. The design is crucial, as well as the materials and construction techniques. When you’re choosing furniture for your backyard there are even more considerations. Will the pieces be able to stand up to the weather? Is there maintenance required? And what is the expected lifespan of the furniture? Choosing comfortable, attractive patio and porch furniture can be challenging at times.
The designers at Great American Woodies have excellent insight into the needs of North Americans. They seem to be clued in to the styles that have classic appeal and are well known for quality construction and the incredible comfort that their pieces deliver. The Nantucket Adirondack swing is no exception and is an ideal choice for a variety of reasons.
Great American Woodies Nantucket Adirondack Swing
Besides having the gorgeous trademark style of an Adirondack chair the Nantucket swing is made of rugged hardwood and has a durable construction like no other.
The Surf White paint will go well in any setting. It’s actually a twice-coated enamel finish that is extremely weather resistant and flexible, moving with the wood naturally. You can expect to see slight cracks, knot holes and other aging features that are characteristic to wood, but this paint finish will remain dependable.
A comfortable, 56” wide bench is designed with wide slats and the rounded back has a slight angle to it for relaxing. All of the elements that made Adirondack chairs so desirable are here in this porch swing, ready to let you rock away the stresses of your day.
Strength of Hardwood
The Nantucket collection is built with the strong, tight-grained Alder wood. Alder is known as a fine species of hardwood, similar to cherry and often used in furniture. Red alder is native to North America, mostly in the northwestern United States, and is even used to make musical instruments like the guitar.
Great American Woodies chose alder for the Nantucket furniture partly because it holds paint very well, making it ideal for outdoor use. You can leave it natural, but with a coat or two of quality paint alder furniture will last for years and years, resisting fading, peeling and wear.
Made with pride in the U.S., this porch swing is also constructed with hidden details that add to the value and strength. Expansion dowels mean that the components will hold through temperature changes, making this ideal outdoor furniture for both northern and southern climates. Barrel bolts are hidden away, holding the wood together but taking nothing away from the smooth appearance and finish. Lean on the wide arm rests, laze back and sway on this perfect porch swing that is definitely built to last.
The Nantucket Adirondack swing has everything you’re looking for in quality outdoor furniture. A classic design that appeals to the whole family, top of the line materials and durable, dependable construction are what you count on in this swing. For the porch, patio or in the sunroom, choosing this design makes for an easy decision.
