Overview of Hardware Chain
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
Need a custom set of chain lists or a subscription to our services.
How can I use the data?
Need to know how you’re able to use the data from ChainXY.
How far from the wall should you hang a porch swing?
You’ll want adequate clearance between your porch swing and the walls around it.Getting it too close could potentially cause damage or injury.You should allow 4 feet minimum of clearance from front/back, and at least 2 feet on each side.Any smaller clearance increases your risk for injury.

What do porch swing springs actually do?
Porch swing springs ensure that the swinging action is smooth and fluid.They also serve the same purpose as shocks, providing a more comfortable feel to the swing (as well as preventing chain breakage).
What kind of rope do you use for a porch swing?
The most economical rope material to use for a porch swing is synthetic nylon.Not only is it strong, but it’s resistant to mold, mildew, and rot.This is especially important if your patio exists in hot, humid conditions.
Will a 2×6 hold a porch swing?
Yes! In fact, your joists should be at least 2×6, but can certainly be larger.You should never hang a porch swing from weaker materials.These include plywood, OSB board, beadboard, or drywall.
