The Best Modern Porch Swings

1. Poly Sofa Rope Swing

The Poly Sofa Rope Swing by Hershy Way is made of polyethylene plastic, making it a great material for outdoor furniture. Polyethylene plastic is resistant to moisture, fading, cracking, and insect infestations. Polyethylene is easy to maintain and doesn’t need to be sanded, stained, or repainted. Just pressure wash it to keep it clean and free from dirt and mildew.

There are three seats on this Poly Sofa Rope Swing, and it has a total weight capacity of 600 pounds. It includes stainless steel hardware that won’t rust or deteriorate outside.

A fixed rope and spring (7’6” length) and chain (5’ length) are included with the wooden porch swing. It can be hung on ceilings up to 12’ high. Porch ceiling hooks are required, and they should be installed 60” apart with a 6” tolerance. The back wall clearance should be 42” if there is a wall or object behind this classic porch swing.

The outdoor swing dimensions are 79"W x 36"D x 28.5"H.
