Outdoor Gliders

1. Gliders are a fantastic way to unwind at the end of the day thanks to their soothing back and forth motion. You may be surprised how many styles of outdoor gliders are available. Our metal gliders, for example, are available in everything from simple park-like styles to big, fluffy sofas you can really sink into.

2. Be good to your tired bones and the environment at the same time by choosing one of our attractive recycled plastic gliders. These gliders use plastic jugs, bottles, and other materials that would otherwise sit in landfills to create durable, maintenance-free seating for you.

3. Our wicker gliders are available in a variety of styles. Classic wicker gliders have traditional Southern charm and look perfect on the front porch, while our more contemporary styles offer living room-quality comfort.

4. Perfect for making your front porch look extra inviting or as a relaxing resting spot in the garden, these wood gliders are built of high-quality wood materials. Painted, stained, rustic and park-like, these wood gliders offer contoured seats and slightly reclined backrests for relaxing perfection.

5. In addition to choosing the material of your glider, the style you're looking for is another important factor. If country charm and rustic romance are your kind of thing, you might want to shop our Adirondack and rustic gliders to warm up your favorite patio space.

6. Maybe timeless and traditional are more your pace. In that case, we offer a wide selection of classic gliders in wood, wicker, and environmentally friendly recycled plastic. These are the gliders that fit almost any setting and always satisfy on comfort.

7. Not really one for sharing? Our wide selection of lounge chairs mean single-person relaxation is just a click away. These solitary gliders are available in Adirondack styles, classic wicker and plush upholstered designs.

OWNING AND MAINTAINING YOUR OUTDOOR GLIDER

Up the comfort level

The quickest, easiest way to make any outdoor glider a little more comfortable is to add a cushion. Replace the old cushions on your existing glider or add a cushion to a brand new glider for some added softness. Whatever you're doing, you've got to measure carefully.

To measure an existing cushion, you'll need to determine its width (arm to arm), and depth (seat front to seat back). With 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 fold, and the back from the fold to top of the cushion. You may also consider measuring the thickness of your current cushion. If you're cushionless to start, simply measure the frame of the glider itself. Again, go from arm to arm for the width and seat front to seat back for the depth.

Maintaining your outdoor glider

A mild soap and water solution will go a long way in cleaning most gliders. Metal gliders, for the most part, have a rust-resistant coating so a little soapy water won't damage the finish. You can also add a little paste wax to keep your glider rust-free. A lot of wooden gliders have an outdoor varnish making soap and water perfectly safe. You could use an oil-based soap specifically made for wood. It's recommend that you cover your wooden glider in the off-season. This will keep it looking newer longer. Recycled plastic gliders require the least maintenance of all. Just spray them down with your garden hose. Use soap and water when necessary, and apply a solvent for any hard water stains. You should always carefully read directions for any soaps and solvents before applying it to your furniture.
