Capitol Porch Swing

We had purchased the same porch swing stand 10 years ago and it held up really well in our harsh Florida weather (we had stained it for weather proofing, so that was a big factor for it doing so well). It was time to purchase a new one because the old one was starting to rot in certain places. I did not hesitate to repurchase the same stand. This time I wanted to stain it white to match our swing. The instructions could use a little more detail to help with the assembly, but we figured it out. To assemble the stand, you need a drill, a mallet, and a socket wrench or wrench. The manufacturer provides you with a Robertson drill bit for the 3” screws. We needed 3 people to start the first installation step. 2 people were needed to assemble the rest of it. It took us an hour to assemble the stand. We are very pleased with the stand and recommend it.

Simple and has held up really well

Used it several seasons already. Varnished with polyurethane several times to protect it. Wears off within a year. Covered with a tarp from early winter till warm weather returns, to preserve it and the swing. It is very sturdy, accommodates our swing just fine. This next season it will be painted, but I ran out of time to do it this year, lol.

I ordered this swing after doing lots of reviews on other ones on this site. I do believe I made a great choice. It’s very comfortable and I love the drink holder in the middle.

The product was good. It took my husband several hours to assemble; however, once together it looked great.
