Product Description: Personalised Wooden Garden Swings
It doesn’t matter what your age is – you are never too old to swing on a swing!
These are our very popular personalised wooden garden swings, to be enjoyed by both adults and small people. If you’re looking to buy just one swing that will suit everyone in the family – this is the one! No matter if you want to really go for it or just sit and gently sway back and forth, the seat is very comfortable and the ropes are a perfect thickness to grip.
As with everything we do here at MakeMeSomethingSpecial, we have spent the time researching and sourcing the perfect materials available in order to make the highest quality wooden garden swings available on the market. Each oak swing is handmade from one piece of air-dried Superior Grade English Oak, hand-selected by us from our local sawmill to make sure it is of the finest quality. This Timber is perfectly seasoned and adjusted for outdoor conditions, making ideal garden swing material.
We then prepare the oak swing seat by shaping and rounding off each edge then sanding all the surfaces until silky smooth, all completely by hand in our Hampshire Workshop. All our oak swing seats are made to order the second you place your order.
DON’T HAVE A TREE…? DON’T WORRY.

Our UK made Rope:
All of our personalised garden swings come with 5 metres drop of UK made Synthetic Hemp rope (on both sides). A strong marine quality rope that is mellow in colour, soft to touch, and being synthetic it won’t swell, shrink or rot, unlike natural rope. Longer lengths of rope are available if required, please let us know how much you need.
All garden swings come ready to hang. You can tie your oak swing directly from a tree branch or we can supply marine quality fittings, ideal for adjustment without having to climb the tree. These high-quality wooden swings can also be hung from frames, porches and other such like.
Finishes:
As with everything we do here at Make Me Something Special, we have spent the time researching and sourcing the perfect materials available. Each oak swing is handmade from one piece of Air Dried Superior Grade English Oak. This Timber is perfectly seasoned and adjusted for outdoor conditions. You can choose to leave your swing untreated, finished in Superior Danish Oil or our low maintenance Diamond Coating finish. If you choose untreated your product will weather to a pale silver more quickly. Danish Oil will not only treat the timber but also bring out the timbers natural colour. This has a UV filter to protect the timber but it does require regular upkeep. 2 – 4 times a year to keep it looking its best. Diamond Coating is more glossy but a lot more harder wearing and only requires a top up once a year, however this depend on the weather and where the product is placed. We would recommend twice a year if you want full protection. Top up kits can be ordered over the phone or on our website – see here.
Personalise your Oak Garden Swings
All garden swings are available blank with standard engraving or can be personalised with your own choice of message containing up to 30 characters per side. You can also add carved hearts, stars and other engraved motifs to your swing to make it that little bit extra special. Take a look at the options available to you – Engraving options. These stunning tree swing seats look fantastic with coordinates of very special places and unforgettable times.
You can find out the Latitude and Longitude by visiting www.latlong.net. We can also engrave a secret or personal message for you on the underside of your garden swing. Something like a reading from your wedding day, a favourite poem or quote, something witty or just something secret you don’t want anyone else to see – but you know it’s there.

I am absolutely delighted with this wonderful swing. It’s a gift for my 58 year old father to hang from the large oak tree in his new garden and I have no doubt he will love it. It really is a beautiful piece of wood with good quality rope and super-smart engraving. The customer service was also excellent. In a word: perfect.

My daughter and her family were delighted with the gift and will I know treasure it as they settle into their new home.

Hi Ben,
Apologies for the late feedback, I just gifted my husband the swing yesterday. It was also my first time seeing it when he opened it and we were both blown away by the beauty of the wood and the craftsmanship. The engraving turned out so beautiful! I just wanted to say thank-you for your help throughout the process. Were both so so happy with our new swing!!
Best Wishes,
Dana
