How to maintain an Oak Garden Swing...
Our oak designs need next to no maintenance, but this is something you might want to try...
The same principle applies to oak benches, signs and hardwood in general when left outside.
In the video below Jeanette shows you how to look after one of the swings in her garden.
To follow these instructions you need:
- Coarse and fine sandpaper. We recommend using 120 grit first, followed by 240.
- Danish oil and a couple of rags.
- A brush for getting the dust off.
Make sure your swing, garden bench or sign is dry before starting this project.
Estimated time to complete the project: 30 minutes.
If you do not want to do this yourself you can book your swing in for a refurbishment with the workshop.
The life expectancy of our manila rope depends on the environment it is hanging. We expect it to last between 4-6 years in the English climate. If the rope of your swing has broken we offer a re-roping service. We organise for our courier to collect your swing at a time that is convenient for you.
We ask that you wrap the swing well in some old packaging, so it does not get damaged in transit.
After a few days your swing will come back to you looking like the swing in the video AND with a brand new rope.
