hanging porch swing?
Comments (1)I googled "porch swing support beam" and found one article that said: "If the porch ceiling is supported by 2-by-4's you should add more strengthening with blocks on each side of the support beam." Another said in bold "Never hang a porch swing from a 2"x 4". Also found a kit with an A-frame that used a 2x8 for support. The link below said use at least a 2x6.

We will be buying something different for the chairs as these are our old screen porch chairs.Plus the pink chair will be black patterned eventually. The cords for the edison chandelier are at longest 46 inches which is a tad bit shorter than we like a chandelier I am set on glass as opposed to a heavy iron look there, but am open to suggestions nevertheless.

Comments (2)I always need to visualize things. Try to find/borrow a bench seat, chairs, or even large boxes that are 5' wide to see how it looks. If you picked a swing that was less heavy looking it could work I would think. Can't you also just move the hooks?

Comments (2)It's hard to give you precise help without a drawing or photo of the bed you're working with. But in general, you should be able to shorten the chains on one end and make the bed level. Just remove links or hook on the 3rd link in, instead of the end one (or whatever length you're trying to reduce)....See Morekayozzy
