Does anyone have plans for 6 foot outdoor bench swing

May 17, 2005 1 Replies

I would like to make a sturdy swing for 3 people to sit on. Especially because my wife likes to nap on our deck. I have access to most any wood for cheap. And I would be taking it in for the winters. But I would like to stay away from pressure treated lumber. Thanks, Dan



I suggest mahogany. It's outdoor friendly (used in boat building) and will last a long time...longer if taken in for the winter. It's also a lot of fun to work with in the shop.
