Our swings are made from premium quality oak, handcrafted for years of use and available in 2 sizes, medium and large.

These swings are suitable for children and adults and add a lovely feature to any garden. They look great personalised with children’s names, house names or sayings e.g. UP UP & AWAY, REACH FOR THE STARS etc.

We use only use prime quality oak that has been thoroughly kiln dried. The medium oak swing is made from one single piece of solid oak and the large from two. All our timber is FSC 100% (Global Forest Certification System) so is all ethically sourced from sustainable forests. (Documentation is available). Each piece of our quality, kiln dried wood is carefully chosen and expertly crafted to make your product. Our swings can be left outside and will remain structurally strong despite any signs of weathering due to the wood’s naturally high levels of tannin.

The ropes are polyhemp which gives very long life whilst being soft on the hands and still retaining that traditional look and feel. We hand splice the ropes to add an additional feature to this attractive swing. they are spliced over seven times on each side and the ends heat sealed to prevent fraying. Braking strain for this rope is 5.5 tonnes and there are two of them – so pretty strong!

Large = 80cm (31.5 inches) length x 28cm (11 inches) width x 4.5cm (1.75 inches) thickness. 6 metres (19.69 ft) of 20mm ( 0.75 inch) rope
Medium = 65cm (25.5 inches) length x 20cm (8 inches) width x 4.5cm thickness. 6 metres (19.69 ft) of 20mm (0.75 inch) rope.

RING END FITTINGS – Marine grade stainless steel fittings for our swings.

My ring end fittings make hanging or taking down the swings quick and easy. This optional extra involves splicing a steel ring to the end of each of the hanging ropes,  two additional rings and two carabiners so all you need to do is wrap the rope three or more times around the branch and attach back onto the rope as shown in the image.

If you purchase the swing with plain ends all you will need to do is tie the ends to a suitable branch using a bowline knot (a quick search on YouTube will give you plenty of help and advice about securing your swing plus I will send a leaflet with your order as well explaining the usual ways of fixing your swing to a branch which includes some important safety information.

Other options available are:
Double engraving is £12.50 extra.
Extra rope is £10 per extra metre (3.2 ft).
Custom font / design or size (price on application).
All the above are available, just message me with your requirements and I will make a custom order for you.

If you require more engraving than the number of characters shown, please contact me and I will be happy to discuss your requirements.

We always respond quickly to any questions so please feel free to drop me a line  chris@oakathome.co.uk

OAK CARE: Exposure to the elements such as sun or rain will turn the oak silvery over time. Cracks will come and go, and some may stay spending on the conditions and surroundings of your swing’s home. This natural effect gives each product its own unique, beautiful appearance as it ages.

Please note it is the customers’ responsibility to hang the swing correctly.

    Bought for a 75th Birthday present. An absolutely beautiful and solid swing – real craftsmanship which will undoubtedly become a family heirloom. We were very late in the day to order in time but Chris got it sorted and it arrived for the day – kept in touch to check that everything was OK – a joy to have real personal service in this day and age. Would recommend without hesitation!
