My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What is the distance from the wall to the back of the swing in this picture

14 years ago
I would like to try this on my porch but I am concerned I may not have enough room from the wall to the door

      It was about 3 feet from the back wall. It really does not swing very match because of weight.

      Custom swing...
    • 13 years ago
      There is a company in Charleston SC that makes custom bed swings, typically the size of a twin bed. I ordered a swing full size that I have hanging in my screen porch. Go to VintagePorchSwings.com to see their standard swings, but they will do custom finishes and variations. They recommend a min of 10" on the sides of the swing and 16" from the back wall.
