A&L Furniture Poly Traditional Outdoor Swing Bed - Porch Hanging Daybed

The Owner's Insights on the Poly Traditional Outdoor Swing Bed

This is a porch swing bed built from HDPE poly lumber instead of wood, so it lives outside permanently through rain, sun, and freeze-thaw cycles without rotting, fading, or needing a yearly refinish. It comes in three sizes and ten colors, and the traditional English slatted design gives it character without being fussy. The honest caveat: at 172 lbs it needs a real overhead beam or ceiling joist rated for the load, it is not a freestanding piece, so don't order one before you've confirmed what it's going to hang from.

Why You'll Love the Poly Traditional Outdoor Swing Bed

• Built from HDPE poly lumber. Won't rot, crack, or fade, and never needs staining or sealing.
• Three sizes. Choose 4 ft, 5 ft, or 6 ft (75") to fit your porch, deck, or pergola span.
• Ten color finishes. From classic White and Cedar to Pacific Blue and Aruba Blue, all UV-stabilized through the material itself.
• Hangs from any overhead beam. No covered porch required, a pergola beam works just as well.
• All hardware included. Arrives with everything needed to hang it, no extra trip to the hardware store.
• Seats two comfortably. Rated for two-person seating with a solid, stable feel underfoot.

Why You Should Consider A&L Furniture

A&L Furniture builds its poly lumber line from recycled HDPE engineered specifically for outdoor furniture, not a wood piece with a protective coating doing the heavy lifting. That construction is why this swing bed can sit outside year-round with essentially no maintenance. Choosing A&L means a piece designed for permanent outdoor use from the start, not a porch accessory retrofitted to survive the weather.

Poly Traditional Outdoor Swing Bed Specifications

Who This Is For (and Who It's Not)

This swing bed is perfect if you:

✔ Want a high-impact outdoor focal point that photographs well
✔ Need furniture that survives full seasons outdoors without staining, sealing, or refinishing
✔ Want a set-it-and-forget-it outdoor piece with no ongoing upkeep
✔ Have a covered porch, deck, or pergola with ceiling or beam mounting capability

This may not be right if you:

✖ Have no overhead structure to mount to, this swing bed requires a ceiling or beam mount and is not freestanding
✖ Need seating for more than two people in a single piece
✖ Are looking for a lightweight, easy-to-move occasional piece, at 172 lbs this is a permanent installation

No covered porch? You don't need one, you need a beam. Plenty of customers hang these from a pergola, exactly the way Brian did. If you have an overhead beam, you can have a swing bed.

Nothing to Hang It From? Start Here

This swing bed needs a beam overhead. If you don't have one, a pergola solves it, and one of ours is built for exactly this job:

• A&L Furniture Bradford Pergola with Swing Hanger, same maker as this swing bed, with the swing hanger already built in. The simplest match, and the one we'd point you to first.
• Yard Craft 6x10 Solace Cedar Pergola Kit, cedar, quick-ship, a good fit for the 4ft and 5ft swing beds.
• Yard Craft 8x10 Cedar Pergola Kit, more room to walk around the swing, best paired with the 6ft or 75".

Shipping & Installation

Lead times vary by size and color selection and will be confirmed after checkout.

Inspect all packaging carefully upon delivery and note any visible damage with the carrier before signing. Keep all boxes until the swing bed is fully hung and you're satisfied with the setup.
