4' Classic Poly Swing

If you picture an old-fashioned porch swing, this is probably it. The LuxCraft 4' Classic Swing pairs a 48-inch seat with a 27-inch back of straight, upright slats. It sits you up a little taller than the Adirondack style, which makes it easy to chat with a neighbor or watch the street. The 52.75-inch frame fits a typical front porch.

Vertical slats have been the signature of American porch swings for generations. That straight-lined look belongs on a farmhouse veranda, a Victorian wraparound, or a Craftsman bungalow. If you're restoring an older house or building in a traditional style, this swing looks like it was always there. A curvy Adirondack shape can feel too casual on those porches. This one doesn't.

The Classic weighs 64 pounds, about 7 pounds less than the 4' Adirondack Swing. Straight slats use less material than a sculpted back, and that lighter build makes it simpler to lift into place and easier on your porch beam and hanging hardware over the years. Two adults still fit comfortably on the 48-inch seat, with 13-inch armrests on each side.

Hanging hardware is sold separately, so you can choose chain or rope to suit your porch. Our stainless steel swing hanger kit is a durable, rust-free way to mount it to a solid ceiling joist. For a cozier seat, the 4' seat cushion fits this swing. Don't have a porch ceiling? Hang it from a LuxCraft swing stand in the yard instead.

Amish builders in Sugarcreek, Ohio make every Classic Swing using recycled HDPE poly and stainless steel hardware. You get the timeless look of a painted wood swing without the scraping and repainting. The color runs all the way through, so scuffs don't show bare wood. It stays out year-round and cleans up with soap and water. Covered by a 5-year commercial warranty.
