Help Me Think: Swinging Daybed on Patio (pics!)
Comments (31)Good luck on building your swinging daybed! I have been designing and building swinging beds for several years now. My designs begin with vintage architectual parts such as porch railings. The bed featured in the Seibels web site is one of my original designs which is now being reproduced. My most current one is featured on the web site www.thecommissarydesignwarehouse.com. The beds on this web site and at their store are more reasonably priced. The one on this web site hangs from a stand I designed rather than the ceiling but best results are to hang from 4 separate ropes, chains or cable. The movement is similar to a glider and a raft on calm water. The same design bed as featured on the Seibels site is featured in the June 2008 issue of Southern Living on page 96. I am currently suggesting an inflatable mattress from Bed Bath and Beyond which only cost $50. It is very suitable for outside since it is basically plastic/rubber. Royal Bedding in Birmingham AL area manufactures a very water resistant mattress which I also recommend. If I can provide any detail information/advise while your are developing your bed just let me know. Good luck!...See MoreHow would you furnish this screen porch?
Comments (8)You will not have room for the swing. I wanted a swing, also. Had to choose between couch or swing. Plus you need empty space for movement. Depending on how you like your flooring, you could go with the smaller rug in just the seating area while letting the floor show in other places. Or go with the larger rug to hide. Although my porch is larger than yours (13 x 20), we have a similar lounging set, and our porch has multiple house windows and support post. We put our dining table on the patio. We went with a larger rug for the seating area and still have a good bit of the porch floor showing. I'd be glad to post photos for you so that you can get some ideas....See MoreOut door Porch Futon, convertible sofa or daybed w/ trundle

Comments (4)Thank you, Patricia. This is a summer home so I will get some pictures in a few weeks when I return. They are called insoroll blinds and I’m thinking of going with a gray and white pattern. So it wouldn’t be a solid screen in front of an existing screen. Because the sun is so strong, I plan to get the one that is 97% blockage, they will only be used a few hours max in the summer. I am awaiting samples of the screen fabric....See Morewodka
