A Few Things on Owning an Outdoor Glider

<div> <div> <p><b>Adding a little extra comfort</b></p> <p>Cushions provide the quickest, easiest way to make any outdoor glider a little more comfortable. Maybe you want to replace the <a href="/stands-accessories/porch-swing-cushions/814+866+4294937798.cfm" title="cushions" mce_href="http://www.porchswings.com/stands-accessories/porch-swing-cushions/814+866+4294937798.cfm">cushions</a> you already have or maybe you think your new outdoor glider could use some extra softness. Whatever the case, you've got to measure carefully.</p> <p>Grab your measuring tape, and let's get started. To measure an existing cushion, you'll want to capture the width (arm to arm), and the depth (seat front to seat back). If it's an all-in-one seat and back cushion, you'll want to measure the seat and back separately. Measure the seat depth from the cushion front to the cushion fold, and the back from the fold to top of the cushion. It's also a good idea to measure the thickness of your existing cushion. If you don't already have a cushion, simply measure the frame itself. Again, go from arm to arm for the width and seat front to seat back for the depth.</p><p> </p> <p><b>Keeping your outdoor glider moving smoothly</b></p> <p>A little water and some mild soap will go a long way in cleaning most gliders. Most metal models have a rust-resistant coating so soapy water won't damage the finish. You can also add a little paste wax to keep it rust-free. Many wooden styles have an outdoor varnish, making soap and water perfectly safe. You may choose an oil-based soap specifically made for wood. We always recommend that you cover your wooden glider in the off-season to keep it looking new. Recycled plastic gliders require the least maintenance of all. You can spray them down with your garden hose. Use soap and water if needed, and apply a solvent for any hard water stains. Be sure to read directions for any soaps and solvents carefully before applying it to your furniture.</p> </div> </div>

Ten Ways to Enjoy Outdoor Gliders


1. Outdoor gliders are the answer when you want a gentle swing without drilling holes in your ceiling. Perfect for porch, patio or backyard, a porch glider, also called a patio glider or outdoor glider, frees you from hanging chains.


2. When room is tight, outdoor gliders are better than swings. They help protect your surroundings by limiting the range of motion. Porch gliders are brilliant at keeping rambunctious kids in check while preserving the fun and relaxation of swinging.


3. Some outdoor gliders enjoy the same classic Mission styling as porch swings, while others have a creative style all their own, from contemporary to retro. An outdoor glider will make your yard or deck more inviting.


4. Fabric porch gliders are a favorite in hot climates. The airy, breezy material on a fabric outdoor glider saves the day. Modern all weather fabrics aren't clammy like yesterday's plastics. You can even wash many fabrics on patio gliders with a garden hose.


5. Porch gliders look like heaven, but wait until you see our selection of cushions and pillows. Choose bright solid colors or intricate patterns, all in fade-resistant modern fabrics. Outdoor glider perfection just got better.


6. Nothing beckons you to relax like a genuine Adirondack glider in classic white. These patio gliders come in lots of other garden-friendly colors too. If you'd rather nap than paint, go for our all-weather, maintenance-free recycled resin gliders that look like wood but don't chip, fade or rot.


7. Outdoor glider chair, party of one! Sometimes you want a peaceful spot to yourself. Maybe you just don't have room for a big swing or outdoor glider. Individual outdoor glider chairs have half the width but are twice as cozy. Add a matching glider ottoman!


8. Nothing offers soothing, gentle motion like a glider swing. But you're still moving, so an outdoor side table helps prevent spills. Put one on each side or your porch glider for drinks and books, leaving the glider seat just for you.


9. Metal outdoor gliders offer creative design options, light weight and durability. Most are wrapped in soft outdoor fabric for extra comfort. Wooden outdoor gliders will always be the champs of old-world-charm.


10. Outdoor wicker gliders have an irresistible contour that's simply ahhhh-some. Plus, there's that satisfying squeak when you sit. The latest resin wicker swings and patio glider styles are as soothing as cane wicker, but the resin is lighter, stronger, and perfectly happy being outdoors. With a colorful swing cushion and a few pillows, you may never get up.
