Questions and Answers for Backyard Discovery 3-Person Wood Patio Pergola Swing in Cedar

A:  No, it is not recommended for trex decking.

A:  It comes stained but not lacquered. I would imagine you could paint it with a good out-door paint and it would weather better.

A:  No, this piece is already stained.

A:  Hi Val, this swing will arrive with a cedar stain already on it. Thank you.

A:  I'm not a wood expert, but here are my observations: Entire swing is 300 pounds, including 52 metal cylinders; my impression of the wood was heavier than balsa but light as very dry pine. It came stained but not lacquered; despite its smelling like cedar, I have doubts. I've certainly touched cedar play-sets that were smoother and felt more solid.

A:  Remember to keep the shipping label off the box it arrived in as part of warranty registry. (I'm a buyer; I can't answer what you really want to know.)

A:  As long as you organize the parts in assembly phases, as suggested, this wasn't a difficult project. I'm a middle aged woman, paced myself over several days, and it came together without any problems. I'm certain a couple of men used to doing this type of project could finish in a day or less.

A:  I took two days, several hours each. I needed a partner when connecting the second side to the first roof cross-member, but aside from that it was a one-person job. Hardware pouches were well-labeled (although not all wooden members were). You'll need tools that aren't provided (cross-tip and flat-head screw-driver, 13mm socket or adjustable-jaw wrench), but nothing too exotic.

A:  Hi Susie, We include step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. However, assembly can vary based on skill level, number of helpers and time availability. This product includes a 1 year full warranty and a 5 year pro-rated warranty on wood. Thank you.

A:  Owner's manual recommends maximum weight of 600 pounds.

A:  500 lb is the weight limit of this product.

A:  HI Georgia, This swing has been tested up to 600 lbs. Thank you.
