I don't think the installation is hard but I recently had opportunity to see the joists in my porch and it didn't give me confidence about adding a swing. I'd cut a small hole and look around in there.
My husband hung ours himself. Bought those screw in hooks that are rated to hold like 400 pounds and also added springs as per the advice of some online forum. Very secure and easy.

Anyone have a recommendation for someone who can hang one? Are there any regulations for porch swings?
