Companion Arbor Original Swing Butter

Companion Arbor no swing Whitewash

Add a touch of old-fashioned charm to your landscape with this prepainted swing arbor. The wooden garden arbor and swing are constructed from 1 inch thick plantation grown southern pine.

The unusual thing about this particular arbor swing is that you can order it either unfinished or painted with latex enamel. In addition to this, you can order the arbor in 1 color and the chair in another!

When you consider that there are 26 color choices, the design possibilities are unlimited.

After being painted, the wooden components are slightly distressed to enhance the rustic garden arbor design. This also causes the assembled arbor and swing to blend instantly into an established landscape.

A landscape design element this large (64"W x 64"D x 90"H) that looks brand spanking new can be jarring when placed into the yard of an older home.

Once you group a few potted plants around this garden arbor swing and grow a vine up 1 or 2 of its posts, it will look as if it has always been there.

Choose colors that blend with your home or your garden. For instance, the whitewashed (There is also a white option. Be sure to choose whitewash if that is what you want.) arbor with the butter chair depicted in the image above will look good near a white house or in a garden that is predominately green, white or soft, pastel colors.

If you plan to place this swing in a garden full of brightly colored flowers, flamingo or persimmon might be better color choices.

Don't be afraid to make bold color combos. I can envision a coffee arbor with a canary yellow swing with a Black-eyed Susan vine twining round the posts.

Whatever colors you choose, this arbor and swing set are sure to be a stunning focal point in your landscape design.

The wood arbor is also available without the swing.

Cypress Arbor Swing Set

This beautiful cypress wood arbor kits comes to you unfinished. You can paint or stain it or simply leave it natural. It will eventually weather to a soft gray color.

Cypress trees contain a natural oil which preserves the wood and makes it unpalatable to insects and rot resistant. This makes cypress wood perfect for use in outdoor landscape design. For this reason, it is often used to build decks or fences.

Of the 3 woods most commonly used to build arbor swings (cypress, cedar and pine) cypress is the most durable, insect and rot resistant.

One way of adding color to this arbor and swing set would be to place weatherproof accent pillows on the seat and dress the arbor with Clematis vines or climbing roses.

"Clematis, Henryi (white) 1 Plant"

The dimensions of the assembled kit are 63"W x 75"H x 49"D.

Pergola Swing Set

Here is a more substantial pergola swing made of western red cedar. It would make a lovely rose or grape arbor.

The pergola can also be ordered without the swing. The swing comes with all the necessary hanging hardware including the chain.

Pergola dimensions: 84" H x 74" D x 74" W.
