our story

history

In 2008 Brent McHenry’s wife Krista was in serious need of a place to relax. At the time she was the mother of twins, a newborn, and was pregnant with their fourth child. She designed a swing for their front porch and asked Brent to build it. Not long after Krista’s swing was finished, a neighbor stopped by and asked Brent to build one for his front porch too. Soon to follow, Brent’s good friend Jerry Lepore encouraged and assisted him in starting a business so everyone could experience and enjoy these fabulous swings. Before long, these bed swings lined the streets of their neighborhood, and soon this simple project became a full-fledged business and Vintage Porch Swings was formed. Many years have passed, and thousands of swings have been crafted. Vintage Porch Swings and its team have long outgrown Brent’s garage, but they never lost sight of their goal of handcrafting beautiful and unique porch swings

and helping people create sanctuaries where they can relax, disconnect, and spend time alone or with friends and family. The McHenry’s family has grown since then, and Jerry Lepore and his wife Phyllis have reengaged as new owners of Vintage Porch Swings with the intent to grow the business and give many more families the opportunity to experience these classic bed porch swings. The VPS family has also grown and now consists of a team of local craftspeople and artists that continue to build the same quality of bed swing that Brent first built for his wife. Today each bed swing design is named after one of their eight unique children or one of their special extended family members. Along with Jerry and Phyllis's new ownership and their family and friends, you can expect more design innovation delivered with the same quality, care, and customer service.
