Porch swings are only as comfortable as they are secure and they are only as secure as their hardware. Investing in stainless steel hardware is very prudent if you live in a coastal area or other areas with high humidity that will eat your hardware and make it rust in a couple of seasons. Porch swings with stainless steel hardware come in cedar, cypress, recycled plastic and pressure  treated wood. They are available in sizes from two to seven feet and in twin size swing bed. The wood can be unfinished, stained or painted in a rainbow of colors. The styles will make you scratch your head trying to decide which one you prefer: wonderfully crafted Amish, beautifully shaped Marlboro, simple, narrow slated modern, classic and timeless. If you like to have your morning coffee or afternoon cocktail in your porch swing, choose the one with a cup holder. You want to give one as a gift to your sister, choose the swing chair with her monogram. You just cannot go wrong. Each of them will make your deck or backyard look and feel like a resort. And you will not have to worry about the security with the stainless steel hardware. Add a few cushions and pillows and you are all set for the summer parties.
