I am in the process of renovating my front porch to include installing a porch swing and I am going to need to install some extra support for the swing. I have 2 x 4 joists going across (front to back) my porch. The way the swing will be positioned, it would hang parallel with the joists and essentially hang on one joist. I am planning on sistering a 2 x 6 to either side of the 2 x 4 and notching to sit on on top of the 2 x 4 secured to the house. I dont have a picture above the front but I will just be sitting on top of that support structure and I think I am alright there. I wanted to make sure I am on the right track before I go too far.https://ift.tt/2NNks55 via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2MOO1qo
