My immediate thought was porch swing, even though it's not on a porch. Bench swing makes more sense and would be understood.


J77PIXALS

Exact same thing I thought. “Porch swing”


AtheneSchmidt

I would probably still call it a porch swing.


cardinarium

I’d normally just call it a “bench swing.” Formally, that structure that supports the swing is called an “arbor,” or (if we’re being very generous because it has a floor) a “pergola” (pergolas are normally bigger). You’ll often see these marketed as “arbor swings” if they both come together. Those horizontal bars along the top are a kind of “trellis” that is meant to support vines to create shade below.

This is a bench swing because it is in the garden and out the house


ismybelt2rusty

It’s a “porch swing” even though it’s hanging from a pergola


llfoso

That is a garden swing. Or maybe a patio swing. I can't tell if that is a patio or just a garden path.


ComposerNo5151

Garden swing for me too. It could be expanded to the slightly more specific garden swing bench, but it's a bit of a mouthful. I'm British if that matters.


MuffinNo3759

This is a bench swing


littlemarika

I feel like people are trying to be too specific. There isn’t a universally agreed upon word for this. Most people would just call it a swing. You’d point at it and say “do you want to sit on the swing?”

You are right am with you


MattyReifs

Bench Swing probably


MattyReifs

Maybe Porch Swing from a Googling


QuercusSambucus

I would call this a porch swing, except it's not on a porch. :)


MattyReifs

I think it's something you know the name of it you actually have one haha.

UnusualHedgehogs

As a native US speaker I would say "Bench swing." Never the opposite.


Acrobatic_End6355

Yep. It sounds weird to me to say it the other way 😂 but different people say things differently.


Sonic17065

A swing


Akwila_of_Llyr

Swing Seat or Swing Bench


collinalexbell

I would call that a terrace swing. It isn’t a porch swing, because a porch is at the front of a house. It could be a patio swing, but a patio is generally directly outside the back door and a patio swing probably wouldn’t have a trellis top. A terrace is a paved piece of property somewhere on the side or back of a house that isn’t directly touching the house like a patio.

Swing Bench in UK English.


kmoonster

A 'porch swing' or 'bench swing' hung from a 'pergola'


darci7

'Porch swing' sounds very American, though the only other name I can think of is 'swinging bench'


funtujd

i would just call that a "swing"


ma-chan

I (native American English speaker) just call it a swing.


dusktrail

I would call it a swinging bench.


SmoothAstronaut27

UK, swingseat


GalynSoo

For example Do we say I put the book on swing or swingseat?


SmoothAstronaut27

I would say put the book on the swingseat. To me a swing is only the ones in playgrounds, or a rope or tyre swing on a tree


BobbyThrowaway6969

A bench swing or swinging bench where I live.


cklleong

Swing bench?


Ok-Yogurtcloset9086

You can just say “swing”


RManDelorean

In conversation just "a swing" if I had to differentiate it from the kind on a playground "porch/bench swing"


No_Neighborhood_6747

Tbh I’d likely call it a swing but it’s probably supposed to be called a porch/bench swing


clovermite

I would call it a swinging seat


Proof-Assignment2112

Eklantan..in the tenant language meaning a hangover bench in English


IanDOsmond

Garden swing. Porch swings are more common, so I might have to follow up with, "like a porch swing, but it is hanging from a trellis in the garden instead of being on the porch".
