porch swings by size
The most common place to start when selecting a porch swing is determining the right size. After leaving 6-8" of space on each side of the swing, the remaining width of your space will determine if you should look for a 4 foot, 5 foot, or extra long 6 foot swing. Or, if you are looking for extra room for the whole family to stretch out, you may consider a deep-seated sofa-style daybed swing or swing bed style porch swings for extra comfort.
Perfect for 2 people, 4 foot porch swings can accomodate more compact porch setups.

porch swings by material
The most common materials for porch swing construction are wood, metal, wicker and poly composite. Wood porch swings are great for traditional porch design and offer a timeless look. Treated pine and cedar are the most durable wood styles, providing weather resistance and, with the right construction, heavy duty design. Metal and wicker provide stylish and often more modern design options, while poly composite is the ultimate low maintenance option.

Maybe you prefer to sit outside with a drink in your hand and watch the world go by (make sure your swing has a cup holder). Or, perhaps you know the whole family will be posted up on the swing so you want to ensure it can hold extra weight (make sure it has a heavy duty weight capacity). Below are some of the most common feature requests from our customers.
