Patio furniture swing - a great addition to the garden!
Metal patio furniture swings are made with steel framing with fabric meshing as well as cushion pads. The outside structure is assembled before hanging the swinging bench by chain or metal mounts. The cushions are added last and provide a great deal of comfort to the user as they enjoy a leisurely swing while reading a book or newspaper. The framing used is generally hollow aluminum although you can find heavier metal versions of the swing.
Wooden patio furniture swings tend to be heavier and more stable then the metal tubing versions. They consist of a wooden swinging bench suspended with chain or a gliding wood structure from a matching frame. When gliders are used, the swinging motion is less noisy and smoother then rocking from an overhead frame by chain. Popular woods used in creating patio swings include cedar and teak. Teak is a great choice if you want a durable and long lasting patio furniture swing. The dense grain resists moisture and prevents the rotting of the wood. Cleaning the wood is simple and sealing it with teak oil will preserve the wood's natural beauty.
Another popular style of patio furniture swing is one that hangs from an overhang on your house without an outside frame or structure. These are ideal for the porch or deck area and take up a lot less space then the garden variety of patio swings.
