One of the most common problems with porch swing chains is how noisy they are. While a squeaking porch chain can still function properly, it can ruin the ambiance of enjoying your swing. Luckily, there are some easy steps you can take to stop this problem. Lubrication is needed. All you need to do is buy a lubricating spray and apply it liberally, about six to seven inches away. Spray the screws, bolts, and entire chainset. Allow it to dry before swinging again. This should solve the problem and swings should be sprayed occasionally.
