Patio swings and porch gliders are as relaxing as they are romantic recalling and transporting us back to the bygone era of yesteryear in the comfort of
the most hypnotizing of gentle motions, to that time when doors were left knowingly unlocked and life seemed nothing short of a breeze.
At once and immediately classic, even the most contemporary of patio swings have an intentional vintage and retro styling, look and feel about them meant to be as inviting
and comforting as a bowl of homemade chicken soup for the soul.
Porch gliders are typically rocker or bench styled providing for ease of motion with little or
no effort involved.
Patio swings and porch gliders come either finished or unfinished, as desired, with unfinished models allowing for more freedom in matching your entire outdoor decor
scheme but necessarily requiring a do it yourself approach to complete the look.

Typical materials are wood, wicker and metal with would generally cedar, pine, maple, oak, or teak which runs a little more expensive than the others.
Sturdy construction is an absolute for patio swings, typically bearing the weight of more than one person so look for assembly that requires bolting pieces
together, versus simply nailing them.
Accessories for patio swings and porch gliders include cushions that allow for the addition of a signature style in both color and pattern.
Cushions should
weather the elements but removing them during harsher seasons will help to extend their lifespan. Cushions provide additional comfort as does a slight tilt to the back allowing for the ability to sway the night away.
