Here’s a look at how Vintage Porch Swings started…
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. Before long, Brent’s bed swings lined the streets of their neighborhood and the McHenry’s were being encouraged to showcase their swings online. Their website quickly took Brent’s hobby to a full-fledged business. Because Brent works full time as a biostatistician in cancer research, he assembled a team of local craftspeople and artists who he knew would continue to build the same quality of bed swing that he built for his wife, and would continue to treat his customers like neighbors.
The Vintage Porch Swings team has since outgrown Brent’s garage, but they never lose sight of their goal of 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 each bed swing design is named after one of their eight unique children or one of their special extended family members.

How is a Bed Swing Special?
Let’s just say that after conducting extensive personal research (smiley face) we know that when our customers or house guests climb into one of our bed swings, they instantly relax, de-stress and just breathe. That’s a pretty rare thing these days, and you don’t get the same effect with old-fashioned porch swing or plain patio furniture. Sure, you can bring your laptop with you, but we dare you to put the screen down for a few minutes and see what happens!
