    Original porch swing

    This is the original porch swing I did in 2003. Looks nice and bright in this photo - I didn't keep up with the finish and its pretty dark now. But still comfortable!

    I varied from the plans on this one by inverting the curve on the back - the original one I built per the plans had rounded shoulders and it looked more slumpy to me...

    Adirondack Porch swing

    Just finished this swing for my parents. This is my second build of this design - first was for my wife and has been in use for about 10 years. The second one got some design/hardware upgrades and I think it turned out pretty well. The plans are here...

    How Can I Quieten A Porch Swing

    I bought a porch swing from Jack Leg and just got it mounted. As all porch swings mounted on chains make noise while swinging so I am not sure this is even possible. The problem is my son works weird shifts and when we swing we wake him up. The swing is mounted to two 2x10 trusses that support...

    Outdoor Kitchen & Porch Finished

    Screen porch truss theft

    View image in gallery Last summer Mt Gomer posted a view of a porch he was building up in Canada. I liked the look so much, I natcherly stole it. I had my engineer design mine for a 26.5 foot span. I had some help from my stepsons cutting out all the pieces and stacking them on the deck, and...

    Porch table

    Here is a small table I made out of scrap walnut and white oak for the screen porch. My first time trying out the taper jig I have had forever but never used. I should stop at small tables since it is so time consuming for me. I finished it with amber shellac and then a couple coats of spar...

    Where to buy "real" beadboard for a porch ceiling?

    Looking for some "real" beadboard to finish off the ceiling of a newly screened in porch (not the plywood sheets that are at the BORG), thinking maybe cypress, SYP, oak or other suitable lumber. Any local sawyers that I should try calling on? Thanks

    Porch Swing Construction Suggestions Wanted

    A friend of mine wants to build this for his daughter and son-in-law; this one has been in his family for at least 25 years, but protected from the elements on a porch. He's got a really limited budget so we're trying to save a bit where we can without compromising the structural strength of the...

    Porch swing

    My wife wanted a porch swing for her birthday, but she didn't want to wait a year for my usual re-invent the world version (bent wood, natural body contours, strength to hold the whole family, 40 step finishing process, etc...) So, I asked Reggie what he could do. We are very happy...

    Hi, I'm new here but you guys seem to have a lot of good information. I need to replace the floor of my covered front porch. The original, built in 1924, is 5/4 X 3" tongue and groove. I don't know the wood...maybe fir or pine. The porch is 30' wide and 8' deep. In appearance, I would like...

    Round Table for the porch

    LOML pointed out a table she saw in a magazine that she wanted. Needless to say I was tasked with building one. Then we lost the picture. So I made it up. :wsmile: The table is about 56" in diameter and is made of poplar. LOML is going to paint it after I add sanding sealer. I glued and...

    Porch Addition

    OK, folks, here's the plan: We want a screened-in porch on the back of our two-story Williamsburg colonial-revival. Usually this is a fairly straightforward proposition -- I've done this on a previous house (New England-style "colonial"). The New England one was easy, as I just built a roof...

    Bought a porch, need some chairs

    My wife and I signed a contract on a log cabin overlooking the lake this weekend. The cabin has an absolutely beautiful view and a front porch that is begging for some Adirondack chairs . . . . I think I remember someone here on NCWoodworker that was sharing templates for a chair they designed...

    Where to Buy Wood Porch Railing??

    I have about 29' of wood railing, which includes about 87 balusters. Replacing this with aluminum will cost me a cool $2400. Two sections of the railing are over 7' long, which rules out the selection at Lowes and Home Depot (all I want in only 6' sections). Can anyone suggest shops in the...
