The LuxCraft Swing Spring Set is one of those little upgrades that you don’t realize you need until you have it. These springs are made from nickel-plated zinc, which basically means they’re strong and not likely to rust, even if your swing is outside most of the time. They’re designed to add a soft, subtle bounce to your swing, so instead of a stiff back-and-forth motion, you get a smoother ride that just feels... nicer.

You install them by hooking them between the hanging chains (or ropes) and the swing itself, and once they’re in place, you’ll notice the difference right away. They don’t take long to put on, and once they’re there, you’ll probably wonder why porch swings don’t just come with springs to begin with.

If you’re setting up a brand new swing, it’s a good idea to grab these while you’re at it. And if you’ve had a swing for a while, this might be the upgrade that makes you fall in love with it all over again.
