How to construct a stylish porch swing for under $100
In short: Learn how Jenn Largesse from House One assembles a budget-friendly, DIY porch swing using basic lumber and a clever repurposing hack to avoid expensive outdoor cushions.
The project focuses on building a simple frame using 2x4 and 2x6 lumber. To maintain a low cost, the video demonstrates how to use a repurposed crib mattress with a waterproof shell as a substitute for a costly outdoor cushion, finished with outdoor pillows for comfort.
The construction process involves cutting boards to size, drilling pocket holes, and building the front, back, and side components of the seat frame. The build concludes by securing the seat frame to the base and installing the necessary hanging hardware.
