Our most popular size, 5 foot porch swings are designed to fit on most front porches, decks, and A-frame stands. Enjoy spacious seating for two to three people or allow yourself to stretch out with a good book. Available in all standard swing materials, including treated wood, poly lumber, and modern wicker styles.
Why Choose a 5-Foot Swing?
The 5-foot hanging bench is widely considered the standard size for residential porches.
-
Ideal Capacity: It provides generous elbow room for two adults to sit without feeling cramped, or enough space for a parent and two kids.
-
Standard Fit: Many porch ceilings have beam spacing that accommodates a 5-foot swing perfectly, making installation easier than with custom sizes.
Material Options
-
5 Foot Wood Swings: The quintessential porch swing. For the most classic front porch aesthetic, a 5 foot wood swing is the right choice. With the ability to paint or stain to match your porch design, wood is equally durable and stylish.
-
5 Foot Poly Swings: Heavy-duty, eco-friendly, and available in over 20 colors. They require zero painting and won't rot or crack.
-
5 Foot Wicker Swings: Wicker and rope are back as modern, all-weather materials that provide a more natural look.
5 Foot Swing Dimensions
Before buying, it is important to distinguish between seat width and total length.
-
Seat Width: Most 5ft. swings have an inside seat width anywhere between 55 and 60 inches.
-
Total Length: When including armrests and hardware, the total length may range from 60 to 65 inches. Cup holders can make this even longer. Always measure your available space to ensure you have at least 12-18 inches of clearance on either side of the swing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can a 5-foot swing hold?
Every swing is different depending on the material and construction method. For the sturdiest construction, we recommend heavy duty Amish made 5 foot swings with weight capacities up to 700 lbs.
What size cushion do I need for a 5ft swing?
You will want to make sure your swing cushion matches the seat dimensions of your swing perfectly for the most comfortable fit. Because manufacturers use slightly different seat widths and depths, we recommend looking at the product dimensions carefully to ensure you get the perfect cushion. Need help? Our sales team is always here to ensure everything works together.
Will a 5-foot swing fit on a standalone frame?
Yes, the 5-foot swing is the standard size for most A-frames and arbors. However, always check the interior width of the frame to ensure it is wider than the total length of the swing.
