Porch and Patio Swings

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

Porch Swings come in a variety of sizes and materials. Which one would you choose?

Wood porch swings are durable and attractive. I think I’d put a cushion on a wood swing anyway. Wood could get kind of hard to sit on after awhile without a cushion, and I’d be worried about splinters you-know-where.

Metal frame porch swings with cushions are comfy, but I have heavy winds in my back yard at times. The extra weight of the wood is helpful in windy areas. However, sitting on Sunbrella cushions on the metal frame could be a lot more comfortable. Sunbrella is also UV resistant, giving you long lasting cushions and upholstery.

The wicker porch swing is “sweet” and romantic. Put a nice cushion on and curl up with a Victorian romance and a mint julip! How well does whicker last, anyway?

Check out the Porch Swings and enjoy a lazy summer afternoon.
