SHOP NOWFAQs
What’s the difference between a porch swing and a swing bed?
A porch swing is typically upright, while a bed swing is wider and designed for lounging or napping.
Can I install a swing on any porch?
Most porches can support a swing, but ensure your ceiling joists are sturdy enough. Our swings include all necessary installation hardware, or you can opt for professional installation.
Are the cushions weatherproof?
Yes! Our cushions use outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella and Agora that resist fading, moisture, and mildew. For added protection, consider an outdoor furniture cover.
Do I need professional installation?
Not necessarily. Many swings include clear instructions and all required hardware. However, for peace of mind, in-home installation is always an option.
Can I customize the finish?
Absolutely. Choose from a variety of stains and finishes to match your home’s style and outdoor theme.
