Q1: What defines the "6 Foot or Longer Beds" collection, and what are the typical sizes?


A: This collection is dedicated tooversized, custom, and specialty swing beds that exceed the standard 6-foot bench size. These typically include:

  1. Extra-Long Swing Beds: Pieces designed to fit longer mattresses (e.g., California Twin/Full, or custom lengths up to 8 feet).

  2. Queen/King Swing Beds: Beds built to accommodate standard Queen (60" x 80") or King (76" x 80") mattress sizes, designed for maximum sleeping capacity and extreme luxury.

  3. L-Shaped or Sectional Swings: Custom configurations built for large corner spaces or unique porch layouts.

The primary feature is that these are designed formaximum adult sleeping capacity, extreme lounging, and creating an outdoor living room focal point. They offer the ultimate in outdoor relaxation, blurring the line between furniture and structure.


Q2: What are the extreme spatial and structural requirements for these custom beds?


A: This is the most crucial section for this product line, as these pieces require commercial-level planning and installation.

  1. Extreme Space: A Queen-size swing bed (80 inches long) requires a porch width of at least12-14 feet (144-168 inches). The porch must be deep enough to allow for a minimum of7-8 feet of clearance for swinging. These beds are often installed on dedicated, covered patios or large pergolas, rather than in standard residential porches.

  2. Structural Engineering is Mandatory: Due to the immense size, weight, and the potential for a static load well over1,500 lbs (and a dynamic load potentially exceeding 3,000 lbs),you must engage a licensed structural engineer to certify your overhead support structure.

  3. Rigging Complexity: These beds often requireeight suspension points (two per corner) or complex rigging systems with spreader bars to ensure the massive weight is safely distributed across multiple load-bearing beams. Never attempt a DIY installation for beds in this category.


Q3: What kind of customization and features are available in this luxury category?


A: As the top tier of your product offering, this collection is characterized by bespoke features:

  1. Integrated Canopy/Curtains: Many long beds feature integrated frame extensions that allow canopies, mosquito netting, or privacy curtains to hang, enhancing the "outdoor bedroom" feel.

  2. Premium Materials: Exclusive use of marine-grade HDPE poly lumber, high-end teak, or powder-coated aluminum, often with custom finishes.

  3. Integrated Lighting/Speakers: Some custom builds can incorporate recessed LED lighting or Bluetooth speaker systems directly into the frame or mounting structure.

  4. Bespoke Cushioning: Custom-cut, outdoor foam mattresses wrapped in luxury, high-performance fabrics like Sunbrella are the standard, often with waterproofing and drainage features built into the frame.


Q4: What is the typical lead time and process for ordering a 6 Foot or Longer Swing Bed?


A: These beds are generallybuilt-to-order and are not stock items.

  1. Consultation: The process typically begins with a detailed consultation to confirm dimensions, material choices, and hardware specifications.

  2. Production Time: Expect a longer lead time of8 to 16 weeks, depending on the design's complexity and material availability.

  3. Shipping & Installation: Due to the size, these often ship via specialized freight and may require assembly by a professional team at the delivery site. Be sure to factor in the installation costs and time when planning your project.
