The garden swings make the green space not only more complete but also allow you to create an area where you can relax comfortably. The swing, in reality, is something very fun for both children and adults. Thanks to its particular structure, it allows you to shelter from the sun while rocking, creating a movement that helps you relax and rest. It is really ideal to end a pleasant evening spent with friends, to get together and chat. The market has diversified a lot, in recent years, the offer relating to garden swings. The novelties consist not only in the different use of materials, but also in different shapes, made thanks to constant research in the sector.

The most used materials for the construction of garden swings are: plastic, wood, aluminum. The plastic swing is certainly the most common and cheapest, plastic is a very resistant and easy to clean material that can be left outside without fear of it getting damaged. The classic structure of the garden swing consists of a base, in this case made of plastic, and an upper part, called a canopy, which allows you to shelter from the sun as it is covered with fabric. The seat is covered with comfortable and high cushions for greater comfort. The teak rocking chair represents a more elegant and very sophisticated model, the classic structure remains substantially unchanged compared to the plastic rocking chair. A small difference could be noticed in the size of the canopy which, if it is larger, creates a greater shadow area. The structure is very solid and the wood is treated with specific water-repellent oils that prevent it from being damaged. If you do not have the necessary space inside to store it during the winter period, it is advisable to disassemble it because, even if covered with plastic, it could still be damaged. The aluminum rocking chair is another must, very light but still stable, and is, together with the plastic one, one of the best-selling models. Leaving it outside could give rise to the problem of rust after a few years. To avoid this problem, it is preferred to move it from the garden to the balcony for the winter season.

Obviously, the choice of the material of the garden swing mostly follows a criterion linked to a personal taste and to the style that you want to give to the space itself. The companies specializing in the production of outdoor furniture every year offer garden swings with a different structure to try to satisfy the needs of customers who are always looking for novelty. A rather particular type of garden swing is made with a wrought iron structure, fixed as if it were a structure to shelter from the sun, but tied with tie rods to allow the typical movement. The garden swing usually allows three people to sit comfortably, but there are also versions for one person. It is a very welcoming ‘armchair’ linked to a solid structure that allows you to swing and be sheltered from the sun at the same time. Each swing can have its own particularity, even in the type of fabric. For example, for places near the sea, shades of blue are preferred, or the classic white and green stripes. The customization of the swing allows you to combine the same fabric as the canopy and the cushions. Since these cushions are removable, it is also possible to wash them very easily and when you are tired of that type of fabric, others can also be made to measure personally.

The garden swing needs enough space to allow the structure to move normally. If space is very limited, it is better to prefer the one-seat version. Companies specializing in outdoor furniture allow you to choose between very particular and above all design models. Whether the structure is classic, rounded or innovative, the rocking chair is always an accessory that many want to have, since it is something that completes and embellishes their garden. As far as specialized retailers are concerned, it is good to contact them only when you have clear ideas so as not to be ‘enchanted’ by the new models. The design greatly influences the choice of the garden swing, often a minimalist structure is made interesting by the use of particular fabrics.

Classic models are the ones that are always very popular because they adapt well to any style. If the choice of the garden swing depends on the price, it is better to prefer a normal model with a fairly affordable cost, since the novelties have higher costs. A garden swing can be easily modernized by changing the fabric and, if you take good care of it, it can be used for several years.
