Free Standing Porch Swing

Porch Swings You Don’t Have to Install

Freestanding porch swings are swings you don’t have to install into your ceiling. They are attractive and can add appeal to any home, and they come in different sizes and every style, from farmhouse porch swings to bench swings. Small businesses often sell them, but you can also shop for them online on Amazon. Prices will certainly vary, but you can usually find a good deal if you’re willing to shop around.

What to Consider When Buying a Porch Swing With Stand

There are a few things you should consider when purchasing freestanding patio furniture. Firstly, think about where you will be placing the swing. If it will be in a covered area, then you won’t have to worry as much about weathering. However, if you plan on keeping the swing outdoors, then make sure to buy one that is made of durable material that can withstand the elements. If it will be on a concrete patio, look for swings with stands that have rubber feet to prevent damage to the surface.

Another important thing to consider is installation. Some choices come with removable stands for minimal setup, while others need to be assembled. If you are not handy with tools, then it might be best to order something that comes with everything needed for installation.

Finally, take into account the style that you want. There are many different styles available, from traditional, contemporary, modern farmhouse, classic wood and more modern steel designs. There is sure to be a freestanding swing that would look great in your backyard or porch. Check for free shipping and returns policies before making your purchase. By considering these factors, you’ll definitely be on your way to find the best porch swing with stand for your needs.

Our Choice Recommendation: Castlecreek 4’ Log Swing

	CASTLECREEK Log Swing for Porch, Outdoors, Garden, Patio Seating Bench, 4’ 2 Person	93 Reviews

Bring home the Castlecreek 4’ Log  when you need something small and sweet to spice up your outdoor space. This choice features a traditional country style with a curved back and a slatted seat. It has a frame made of log-style wood pieces and is assembled with a lot of durable hardware that can hold up to use in all sorts of weather. It can be used without worrying about it creaking or becoming too rickety, even when it’s been in use for some time.

The Chinese fir wood logs used to build this bench swing at Castlecreek are sturdy and long-lasting. For a more rustic appearance, the original wood grain has been left exposed. The swing, frame, and all hanging hardware are included in the Castlecreek bench seat kit, which is perfect for lounging outside throughout the summer. It supports two people quite well and requires little upkeep.

Although the swing is a little on the shorter side, this is a good deal given the price. With two individuals, the assembly went swiftly, however parts of the directions might have been made more clear. For the assembling procedure, an electric screwdriver is highly recommended. Although this swing is attractive and quite comfy, it is covered with a cheaper Chinese waterproofing treatment that gradually fades off. So that’s definitely something to keep in mind.  It also leans back quite a bit! This is not the swing for you if you want a more upright posture.  There haven’t been any weight concerns so far, which is wonderful. I tried flipping the seat over so that the rounded edge was in front of us instead of the pickets, which jabbed a little into the back of our legs. A solid cushion will likely also help with this problem. The seat cushion needs to be around 14″ deep and 42″ broad.

Pros

• Can hold up to two adults with no trouble and is sure to offer plenty of room for both to be comfortable while sitting in it.
• Built well and usually doesn’t have any issues when it comes to assembly.

Cons

• May tip over more easily than some of the other swings listed here if it is used inappropriately such as swinging too high or too fast.
• Does not arrive with any staining or finishing, so you’ll need to plan to do this yourself before you can use the swing.

	Outdoor Russian-pine Wood Swing [Kitchen]	9 Reviews

When you want something with more of a traditional swing and frame shape, consider the Outdoor Russian Pine Wood Swing . The frame is a standard A-shaped style that is sure to work well with almost your home décor. For a porch, patio, or yard, this rustic wooden seat with an oil and lacquer finish is ideal. The cozy seat has enough capacity for two people and comes with installation instructions. What a soothing way to wind down after the day.. but wait! There is some assembly required.

This swing shouldn’t be confused with one retailing for two or three times the price. It wasn’t built to last forever, and it’s not exactly composed of the highest quality materials. If you’re familiar to this kind of stuff, assembly is rather simple, and it can be completed in slightly under two hours. There were no written directions, simply a few photos, and nothing else. For this reason, it is best to try to assemble everything loosely before tightening any screws, just in case. Having said that, this is a decent, reasonably priced swing for a tiny space, and I It adequately accommodates two persons. However, it is certainly not on par with more expensive alternatives.

Pros

• Comes with a natural lacquer finish that makes it look both rustic and stylish at the same time and is sure to help it blend perfectly into its surroundings.
• It’s easy to put together right out of the box and should only take an hour or two to complete the assembly.

Cons

• Many customers have noticed water getting through the finish, so it may be a good idea to add another layer of clear finish if you plan to use it outdoors.
• Not large enough for two adults to sit on at the same time in most situations.

	Tangkula Wooden Porch Swing, A-Frame Wood Log Swing Bench Chair, Outdoor Rustic Curved Back Swing...	116 Reviews

Choose the elegant and rustic Tangkula Wooden  option when you’re looking for a product with a solid wood construction throughout the swing and frame both. It’s made of durable fir wood that is chosen to be resistant to rotting as well as to insect infestations. It is designed to be ergonomically friendly and to keep you as comfortable as possible no matter how long you want to sit on it.

With a rustic, natural aesthetic, the Tangkula 100% hardwood porch swing is a comfortable addition to your backyard. The ergonomic chair’s smooth, natural surface guards against scratches. Strong support is provided to link the swing to the frame via heavy metal hooks. Overall, this is a  respectable outdoor rustic swing with a sturdy, non-skid frame.

The seat’s back is raised 13 inches from the ground and 16 inches in the front. That measurement starts at the crosspiece log’s bottom. I’m not sure of the precise length, but the swing is 67 inches long and will easily accommodate two rather large individuals. You should probably sand and stain it as soon as you get it, in my opinion. With this type of wood, the coloring and patina will become overly dark and unsightly over time. The back is fairly high, which is wonderful for resting your head against, but if you are particularly tall or overweight, this swing may be too tiny for you. It appears to be a touch pricey in comparison to other alternatives on the market, but it looks great and functions as it should.

Pros

• Capable of holding up to 440 pounds of weight and up to two people, so it’s a good choice for a heavier-duty swing.
• Although it is made of solid wood, it is very comfortable and pleasant to sit on for longer periods of time thanks to its design.

Cons

• Does not come with any cushions so you’ll need to purchase them separately if you’re thinking of using them.
• Doesn’t come stained or painted, and there is no option to add on staining and painting, so you’ll need to do this yourself as well.
