Welcome to our Community Q&A page for Wood Porch Swing.

The swing and the rockers are about seven years old. They are still in good shape, the wood has just kind of darkened. When they were brand new, I used Thompson's Water Sealer with color in it. It's held up very well but I want them to have a pretty golden brown oak color. How should I go about doing this? I've heard that you can spray Easy Off on the wood furniture on a hot day and that the varnish would peel off that way but that sounds kind of bad. I'd like to know of an easy way to redo the porch furniture. I'm just wondering if I will have to sand them down and stain and polyurethane them or if I can skip some of the sanding? How complicated is this job going to be for me?

I realize this is a specific question, but I'm hoping a local will be able to direct me to the right place. I'm looking for a wood, quality made porch swing. Anyone?

Hi! Is there a weight formula or a reinforcement method to use for hanging about 900 pounds (weight includes full size wood swing bed I built, 2 adults, mattress weighing 103 pounds, 4 heavy chains) from 2 of my 2x8 porch joists that are 8 feet in length? The beam at the outer edge of the porch has 4x6 posts every 24 inches supporting it, no problem there. BUT also concerned about point where joists join the house and possibly needing reinforcing (straps or ledger). Would a second joist attached to each be enough reinforcement? I am lost and do not want to be sleeping with the roof caving in on me but cannot wait to "camp out" on my bug free porch! Stargazing Zone!
