My porch is on the narrow side. What is the arc of the swing (how much room do you recommend between it and the wall)?

we had ours out away from the wall two feet, but I would say the arc was about 24 in, I am sorry to say we no longer have the swing because it was destroyed along with our home by a tornado in April.

I have mine mounted 2 1/2 feet from the wall with no problems, even with small children who like to swing

Hmm. hard to say, since I hanged it in the yard...I guess you need few feets...

I have enjoyed this beautiful swing for 2 years. I have about 10 inches between wall and the railing on both sides that appears to be fine and the porch is close to 7 feet wide.

Mine is 16" from the wall. You could probably be as close as 6" with no problem.

We have it on a typical swing set and there is no problem. So, like 8 ft. I'm sure you could go a little less, too, if you're swing set is shorter. Just make the chains shorter.

About an hour or so. There is a nice YouTube video. Type in the search bar Lakeland mills and look for the porch swing assembly video. Having a cordless impact drill helped put in the lag bolts on the a frame.

We have a porch opening at the top of our steps that is almost exactly 48" between square upright posts. The gate fits perfectly without the use of the extra panel, which we have stored for any possible future use in another potential future application. As to "in-between" widths, I cannot say, as we had no need to try them.

You could squeeze 2 swings on an 8 ft beam...10 ft would be roomy. If you want 3 use a 12 ft beam. Your swing hangers will be 18 or 20 inches apart, and you want 20 plus inches between swings.

Inside my porch I put an oval wrought iron table with four chairs on the diagonal. Then against the two opposite walls I have a wicker loveseat with wicker table by its side. In one corner a wicker chair on the diagonal with a wicker table at its side and on a diagonal in the remaining corner a two person glider with another table next to it. We have plenty of room to walk and to pull out patio table chairs etc. I;m sure it will fit what you are thinking about. I was surprised at how much furniture I was able to comfortably get inside it. We also put down an 8x12 outdoor rug inside for the furniture to sit on. Its very roomy and we still think it was a great purchase.

you have plenty of room. The arm swings out and is jointed. I'd say the circle is about 5 inches wide. The first part of the arm swings out about four inches to the left or right, and the second part another four inches, left or right from the joint. So even extended as far out as possible, you've got plenty of room.

According to installation instruction manual....you must have an 8 inch minimum space between the side garage and the end of the torsion bar. The torsion bar must extend at least 1 - 5 inches past the bearing plate.

It is only about 2 feet by 2 feet so it doesn't take up as much room as a traditional swing...it's also low to the ground...I use mine for the baby while I'm studying...it's very unobtrusive

Someone else asked about the inches between the two hooks on top bar on which to hang the swing or chains. Ours measures 5 ft. or 60 inches and works well even though our swing is not quite 60 inches wide.

the actual size was smaller than my porch swing which is what I bought it for, but used acent pillows on each end to make if fit. sorry I can't measure they are stored away for the winter and I live in Iowa way too cold.

That might be tight. 20 feet would be better. the hammock is about 8-10 feet long, and you want to allow enough line for swing time

I have no idea how large your porch is so it's difficult to say. However, we used the two we purchased to illuminate our Christmas message on the front entry of our home. Rough measurements are 20 ft. by 10 to 12 ft. high. One would have been sufficient but since we had two we used them both and they are powerful. Easy to set up and adjust to give maximum exposure to whatever you're trying to highlight. Hope this is helpful.

If you have two open spaces right next to each other, you should have enough room. For most panels, this will mean either 1-1/2" or 2" or open space. Alternatively, you can buy a two pole 30 amp breaker and visually compare this to your panel to see if you have the space.

I positioned my two umbrella mounts on the outside of my railings to give more space within the patio area. It depends on the pole width of your umbrellas and width of your railing so your distance may differ from mine a bit. The mount is adjustable. With my umbrellas mounted the distance from my railing is 5.5"

I mounted mine at a separation of 16 inches center to center, with the swing seat 15 inches wide and the length of the chain to the seat 69 inches. I measured park swings as greater than 16 inches but the other dimensions were different as well. Mine swings without a problem. They are great hinges. Make sure that they are bolted in, NOT lag screws.

I would say 6 1/2 inches to be on the safe side. Also don't forget since it is a sleigh bed it will stick away from the wall a bit...I didn't take that into consideration
