Cypress is one tough wood, but even more than that, it looks phenomenal. The charming irregularities of the grain are like windswept water rippling from a skipped pebble.
For our eye-delighting Cypress Swing Stand, we steam-bend and hot-glue four-inch sections of solid Southern cypress to form a single beam, magnifying the inherent distinctiveness and strength already there in the wood.
While the sheer density of cypress keeps it from losing much of its natural oil, and luster, the wood does age to muted silver-gray — if you love that beachy weathered look, then just let the cypress do its natural thing. Cypress also looks tremendous when coated in a good high-gloss varnish, and maintaining this swing stand's lustrous original sheen is simple. Just use some light-grit sandpaper on the wood before applying a stain(we use the Olympic brand's Maximum Water Proofing Sealant and Penetrating Oil, the Honey Gold Formula, available at most hardware stores).
You can also use linseed oil.
One side-effect of owning this swing stand: Your neighbors are certain to experience cypress envy!
When placing your cypress wood stand, a hard scape or at least 4 pavers should be placed under each of the 4 feet. If the stand is placed in a damp area (e.g. under a tree) it may start to show mold or mildew and eventually rot or split.
Your cypress wood stand will naturally lose color and turn a silver gray over time. We strongly recommend you do NOT add varnish, lacquer, or place a tarp on our Cypress Wood Stands, as this does not allow the natural wood to breathe.
No, a little wiggle in the stand is to be expected. We manufacture our stands this way to better accommodate the natural swaying motion of a hammock or swing.
