The Best American Made Porch Swings
A lot of good living occurs on a porch swing. Teenagers steal their first kiss on a porch swing. Friends share their most important secrets. Grandpa dozes off on a warm summer afternoon. Family members linger over glasses of ice-cold tea. Folks discover their life's calling within their journal pages while gently rocking too and fro on a porch swing.
When I was growing up, our front porch held a swing. I could sit there for hours watching the dogs play in the yard or growing mesmerized by the granddaddy long legs dancing around the porch light. Porch swings have a magical quality about them. Like a campfire, they help us relax and remind us to find joy and beauty in the world.

Porch Swings Made in the USA: Materials
Porch swings made from wood continue to be the most popular material, with swings made from HDPE lumber swinging a very close second.
The most popular wood species include cypress, cedar, teak, oak, redwood, pine, and hickory, chosen either for their abundance or for their weather-resistant properties. Cypress is a very popular choice, particularly in the southern states. White oak is a very sturdy wood for making swings.
Invention and technology bring HDPE (high-density polyethylene) lumber to the porch swing market where many manufacturers, including Amish craftsmen, make beautiful products with this material. This wood alternative is eco-friendly because it's made from recycled plastic jugs, so it keeps plastic out of our landfills. Plus, it's very strong and impervious to weather or infestation. Well-made poly lumber will not fade, either.
USA-Made Porch Swings: Styles
Porch swings come in many styles. You'll find the traditional slatted style that seats two-four people, but you'll also find one-person porch swings. Hammock-style porch swings allow you experience the relaxing feel of a hammock. Then there's the porch swing that looks like a rocking chair or the Adirondack style. A personal favorite is the bed swing that has grown in popularity across the US, not just in the South.
Several of the companies we mention make arbors, pergolas, or frames that can hold your porch swing. Some of the frames are small enough to fit onto your porch, while others blend seamlessly with your patio or veranda furniture and decor.

You'll find porch swings made from other materials as well. Several American hammock manufacturers make porch swings from an extremely strong rope attached to fabric and frames. Although there are fewer USA manufacturers of wicker or metal porch swings, USA Love List has managed to find one manufacturer using each of these respective materials.
Why Buy a Made in the USA Porch Swing?
Typically, a porch swing maker in America creates these products either out of a love for woodworking or from a desire to make a premium product. Either way, you will get a swing where the builder pays attention to detail. He or she chooses the best materials and ensures the swing is well-built to your satisfaction. Nothing is more disappointing than buying an item only for it to break or fall apart from poor craftsmanship. You shouldn't find this problem with USA-made porch swings.
Buying American-made supports local makers within your community. The money made in your neighborhood stays in your neighborhood, strengthening the local economy. You don't have to worry about paying tariff fees or products getting stuck on cargo ships.
Simply stated, a USA-made porch swing is the best.
