Is a wicker or cedar porch swing more durable?


by DoItYourself Staff

A cedar porch swing is well known for being very strong and it has a high strength to weight ratio rating, which means it works quite well for outdoor furniture. Cedar furniture is made to last a long time and it’s not unheard of for it to last up to 30 years with good care. Wicker, however, is made of fibers consisting of paper that is twisted around metal to form the rungs. If it is not treated properly, it can mold or mildew. If it is sealed, then it will last longer. The answer is that a cedar porch swing is far more durable than a wicker porch swing.
