Comfortable, practical and elegant having a canopy swing is an indulgence that is worthwhile. There are many different designs to choose from and prices vary to suit different budgets. It is easy to add a touch of class to any yard.
Weather is always a consideration when choosing outdoor furniture. Rain and sunshine can fade or discolor some frames, giving them a worn or bedraggled appearance. Metal frames are available in both steel and aluminum and these frames will withstand the assault of the weather. They are very low maintenance too.
Wooden swings are very popular. They are strong and can be placed anywhere there is an even surface. They will be stable on lawns and because the wood is specially treated, rain and insects will not affect their appearance. They do tend to fall in to the more expensive end of the range; however owners believe the investment is worth it.
Plastic swings do not have the same strength as wooden or metal models. But, they do have the advantage of being within everyone's price range. They will stand up to all kinds of weather. And, they are comfortable and easy to move around.
One thing you should think about is where you will position your canopy swing. Steel and aluminum swings are best located on a solid surface. A porch or paved area is ideal. Wooden swings are suitable for almost any ground surface.
The different styles available mean that a swing can suit any type of home. It is important to have it blend with other furniture and the architecture of the house. That way it looks like it belongs, rather than being an add-on. The colors available in canopy fabric extend the choice open to homeowners.
Outdoor furniture needs to be easy to clean. Most swings have removable fabric canopies that make cleaning them quite simple. Some wooden models also have wooden canopies that don't seem to attract or hold dust in the same way fabric does. A quick hose down will have a wooden canopy looking like new.
Costs range from very affordable to more expensive. The price will reflect the materials used to make the swing, their durability and strength. But, all swings are comfortable, reliable and look good. Your budget will be one consideration in choosing the swing that is right for you.
Your canopy swing will be a topic of conversation for visitors to your home. It won't matter if you have chosen a metal, wood or plastic model. Few people will be able to resist the urge to try it out.
