Old porch swing bench Backyard Designs, Backyard Ideas, Porch Swing, Basement ...... It's like they're turning into little balls of energy I can scarcely control.

Hi Anita, you can use the cinder blocks as the base at each end of the bench and maybe another two in the middle, depending on how long the swing is. It would take ome measuring to insure the blocks' outside edge is in the right area. Here's a video tutorial using blocks and instead of the board you could place your already built swing. Hope you share your project as it seems it will be pretty cool! :)

Hi Anita, I get it....sometimes the ideas e dream up becomes difficult to put into accomplishing. I agree that painting the cinder blocks and stenciling will make it a bit more classy. Do you think painting the blocks and the swing the same color, stenciling the blocks and then perhaps stenciling a couple of pillows might make them blend together better? Sounds like a fun project and I know you'll figure it out.

Anita..did you ever work this out? I need to do this and would love to see yours.
