Lawn and yard
Mowers, rear-tine tillers, aerators, chainsaws, edgers, spreaders and everything you drag out twice a season.
Your neighbor already owns it.
Rent tools, mowers and party gear from verified neighbors across Fort Worth. Booked, paid and tracked in the app.

We are opening Fort Worth neighborhood by neighborhood. Tell us where you are and we will start with the streets that fill up first.
No spam. One note when PorchSwap reaches your street.
You are on the list
We will email you the moment PorchSwap opens near you.
Half your street already owns one.
The equipment is already here. It is just locked in six different garages, and everyone bought their own copy.
- $300 to $600
- Pressure washer. New, at the big-box store.
- $700 to $1,400
- Rear-tine tiller. For the two weekends you break ground.
- $600 and up
- Tables and chairs for 60. Bought for one graduation party.
PorchSwap turns that garage into the cheapest rental counter in Fort Worth.
It works both directions.
You need something
For the job you are doing this Saturday.
Search your ZIP
See what is actually available within a few minutes of your house, not across the metroplex.
Book the days
Pick your window and pay in the app. The owner confirms and you get the pickup address.
Pick it up, photograph it, go
A quick condition photo protects both of you. Then it is yours until the return time.
You own something
Sitting in the garage between jobs.
List it from one photo
Snap the item. PorchSwap writes the listing and suggests a rate for your area.
Approve who borrows it
You see the neighbor and their history before you say yes. Decline anything, for any reason.
Get paid on return
Money moves through PorchSwap, so there is no cash at the door and no chasing anyone down.
The expensive stuff nobody uses twice.
Party and hosting
Folding tables, stacks of chairs, canopies, coolers, griddles, speakers and drink dispensers.
Power tools
Drills, circular saws, sanders, nail guns, compressors.
Pressure washing
Washers, surface cleaners, extension wands.
Ladders and hauling
Extension ladders, hand trucks, utility trailers.
Built on AI
The part that does the boring work.
Neighborhood rental only works if listing something takes a minute and nobody argues afterward. That is where the intelligence goes.
Photo to listing
Snap the item on your garage floor. PorchSwap identifies it, writes the description and suggests a daily rate.
Pricing that reads the season
Rate suggestions move with real local demand. Aerators in October, canopies in June, generators when the ice hits.
Ask for the job, not the tool
Say you are staining a fence this weekend. PorchSwap finds the nearest neighbor with the sprayer free on Saturday.
Condition check
Pickup and return photos are compared automatically, so real damage gets flagged and nobody argues from memory.
Screening before the swap
Fake accounts and odd booking patterns get caught before a confirmation ever reaches your porch.
Lending a $900 saw to a stranger is the whole problem.
So we built the boring safeguards first, before a single listing goes live.
Verified neighbors
Identity and address checks before anyone can book. This is a neighborhood, not an open marketplace.
You approve every request
Owners choose who borrows, set the deposit and the pickup window, and can decline for any reason.
Photos at both ends
Condition is documented and timestamped at pickup and return, so disputes start from evidence.
Money moves in the app
Payments and deposits are handled by PorchSwap. No cash at the door, no awkward reminder texts.
Fort Worth first
Close enough to walk back if you forget the extension cord.
We open a neighborhood once enough of it has joined, so the thing you need is a few minutes away instead of across the metroplex.
Straight answers.
What happens if something gets damaged?
Every swap opens and closes with photos in the app, so condition is documented on both sides rather than remembered differently. Payments and deposits run through PorchSwap instead of cash at the door. Full damage resolution terms will be published before launch.
Who is allowed to borrow my equipment?
Only verified neighbors in your area, and only the ones you approve. You set the pickup window, the deposit and the rules. You can decline any request for any reason, and you never have to explain why.
What does PorchSwap cost?
Listing your equipment is free. PorchSwap takes a percentage of each completed swap, so owners only pay when they actually earn something. Final rates will be published before launch.
When does PorchSwap launch in Fort Worth?
We are building now and opening Fort Worth first, neighborhood by neighborhood, starting where enough people have joined that a swap is a short drive. Early access members get in first and help decide which streets open next.
Do I need the mobile app?
Photos, messages, bookings and payments all live in the app, so it is the full experience. PorchSwap is coming to iOS and Android at launch.
Open your garage to the block.
Join the neighbors deciding where PorchSwap opens first. It takes two fields and about nine seconds.
