You might think about taking advantage of summer by getting some new furniture for your garden patio. The quality of your old things looks completely ruinous and terrible as soon as winter wanes out.

You can safeguard your patio furniture from getting corroded or rusted. These are available in a host of sizes and shapes, from sophisticated bar high-chairs to uncomplicated stools.

A Hanging Porch Swing – Something for Everyone

by annechisholm

Article by MJ Marks

The first hanging porch swing I ever remember was the one my Grandparents had on their front porch. It was the classic swing. I think it was probably made out of cedar or redwood and hung from chains that were attached to the porch rafters. I guess what makes the swing memorable for me are the experiences I remember having there with loved ones. Maybe that is the allure that many have for porch swings. There is just something about them that reminds us of good times. Or maybe it is the promise of good times to come that makes a hanging porch swing such a fixture in many of our lives. Regardless, there is a swing out there to satisfy everyone’s preference.

A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to get a hanging porch swing. I started looking around and found out that there are some wonderful options. For those who prefer to avoid having any maintenance tasks that are often associated with wooden products, there are poly resin swings. These are not as attractive, in my opinion, but they are certainly functional and do not require any sanding or staining. For those who prefer a more rustic approach, cedar and teak are very popular choices. These don’t really have to be sanded or restrained unless you wanted to. Another option is the bulkier looking, but also very popular, log style swings. These certainly have their place, but just not on my porch. I prefer a smaller looking wooden swing. If I were looking for a hanging porch swing for a mountain cabin or something I would probably like the log style more.

One of my favorite swings, that is both attractive and popular, is the hanging porch swing by Old Adirondack. This swing is classic in design and yet has a touch of rustic flair. Even though it is made out of wood, the seat is actually contoured so the swing is more comfortable. Like all natural cedar wood, when left outdoors it gets a nice weathered silver gray finish. This usually takes about a year or so in most climates. Classic, just my style.

For the more casual souls out there, a hanging porch swings that looks more like a hammock or a lounger might be just the thing. One particular company that makes swings like this is the Outbackchair Company. Their Urban Balance Expanse swing, for example, comes in some bold colors: teal (ocean), orange (mandarin) or green (kiwi). This versatile and durable swing allows for some serious relaxation, and looks pretty cool too. It is made with aluminum frames that are epoxy coated. The arms are wicker so they can withstand weather without missing a beat. Another hanging porch swing that the Outbackchair company makes is the Outback double basket weave lounger. This also comes in various colors: burgundy, sand, green, and navy. Up to 500 pounds of weight are comfortably supported and the materials are UV treated. The fabric is a waterproof 600 x600 denier polyester.

Everyone has their preferences for what they like in a hanging porch swing. Whether you go for the classic look of a wooden swing, like the modern poly resin swings, or prefer a fabric style swing, you are in luck. There is a hanging porch swing for everyone.

Outdoor Rocking Chair Models

by Ken Lund

Classic Outdoor Rocker 

History

The classic rocker is of Swedish origin and dates back some 350 years. There were many styles to come out of the original designs, including the Adirondack, rustic, shaker, Salem, Boston, and Windsor rocking chair, but in general they all had similar characteristics.

Characteristics

A rocking chair starts out like any ordinary wooden chair, with a seat and backrest and maybe the addition of armrests. What makes them different from a normal chair is the addition of two curved rockers, one at the base of each of the two chair legs. What these rockers do is provide a fulcrum upon which the person sitting on the chair can rock back and forth using their legs to push off the ground.

Glider Outdoor Rocking Chair

History and Characteristics

Gliders are considerably newer than classic rocking chairs by about 200 years, dating back to the 1930s.

This chair is actually a platform rocker in which the seat moves along a four bar linkage track across the base. The non-parallel suspension of the linkage gives the chair its back and forth gliding motion.

Advantages

Some people prefer the movement of gliders to rockers, and they are especially popular in nurseries, where mothers use them to nurse and soothe fussy babies. They are also preferred by mothers because of the fact that the base is always on the ground, unlike the classic rocking chair, in which the rockers move up and down and can pinch children and pets underneath.

Swivel Outdoor Rocking Chair

History and Characteristics

By far the most modern looking and recent innovation is the swivel rocking chair.

This model is of American origin, like the glider, and finds its roots in the 1960s. A swivel chair is unique in that not only can it rock back and forth, but it can also move sideways, which gives users a greater range of motion and ease when reaching for nearby objects. How it looks is that the seat rests upon a central leg. From here, it can swivel 360 degrees. The leg is then attached to a circular, weighted base so that the chair does not tip over.  

Buying Concerns

One of the things to consider when purchasing a swivel chair is where to put it. You will need more room than for a typical outdoor rocking chair with the added range of motion so choose a space that’s open on all sides.

Like the glider, the swivel chair has the advantage of a stabilized base, so there’s no risk of being pinched. At the same time, the swivel chair is the farthest away from the classic design of the rocking chair, so if you prefer a more traditional look, then this model may not be for you.

Garden And Patio Decorations For Great Outdoor Living

by AIBakker

Article by Robert Mosse

Think about garden and patio decorations just as you would if you were designing a room in your home. We always hear of interior decorating, so now think about exterior decorating! A well-decorated patio can have sitting areas, dining areas, and center pieces. Because you’re outdoors, garden and patio decorations let you become creative in really fun ways.

The garden decor you select will give your outdoor “rooms” style and character… so go with what appeals to you. Are you formal and elegant, or informal and casual? Whatever approach you take, keep in mind that too many garden and patio decorations will give you a crowded look. Plants and flowers should play just as big a role in your decor as structures and furnishings… let them compliment each other.

Visualize Key Furnishings

First, envision your patio, deck or garden area. Plan out a few different layouts for the main, larger decor items that will need to fit within your space. These would be chairs, benches, tables, and grilling or cooking stations. If you work at home, you can even design an outdoor “work station” for your laptop and office work.

Weather-proofed wicker, wrought iron, cedar, or teak garden furniture are excellent choices for patio and garden furnishings. Functionality is important, but go for comfort and style, too!

There are some great designs in outdoor patio furniture, guaranteed to fit your personal style.

Outdoor Lighting Sets the Mood

The possibilities include freestanding lamps, table lamps, shaded and globe lamps, lanterns, umbrella lights, BBQ lights, string lights, and ground lights. Shop around for what appeals to you, as well as what’s practical for your purpose.

Choose Your Accents

There are no rules to garden and patio decorations… and lots of choices! Here are some great accents that will add life and charm to any yard:

Garden Benches: Have you ever noticed a rustic bench placed “just right” in a garden? It’s a very inviting sight. It doesn’t need to be fancy… just a spot to sit down and relax.

Decorative Planters: To create a pleasing focal point, set out a few planters filled with beautiful flowers in different areas of your garden. You can move them around, and replant them with different flowers as the season goes by. These are perfect for the patio, too.

Don’t forget, an old container you have lying around can easily be tuned into a planter – perhaps an old watering can or a pickle barrel. All they need is some form of drainage. Try one or two planters and see the difference they make!

Garden Fountains: Fountains add a great deal of atmosphere to any garden setting. The varieties range from grand fountains made of stone or bronze, to modest and charming garden fountain kits. Garden fountains have such a pleasant, tranquil sound that their beautiful effect is immediate and captivating.

Garden Sculptures: Garden statuary is usually made of bronze, marble, stone, wood, or resin. Choose themes from cherubs and saints to deer, rabbits and frogs. Garden sculptures can really develop your garden theme, and are great fun to design with! Tuck them into a corner, or display them openly as a main focal point.

Sundials: This ancient device has brought beauty and charm to thousands of gardens. Sundials are terrific accent pieces and come in different designs, such as tabletop and pedestal. Some sundials double as birdbaths!

Garden and patio decorations can be as elaborate or quaint as you wish. Simply keep in mind it’s just like fixing up a room in your home – when you like what you see, you’ve added your own personal signature to your outdoor living place!
