Outdoor Furniture Glider

For Your Front Porch, Deck or Patio

An outdoor furniture glider for your front porch offers a great place to relax. Being a woodworker, I prefer a wood glider.

There's just something about the feel and look of wood that I really enjoy. However, you can also enjoy gliders in wrought iron, wicker, or even recycled materials.

Choose a style that fits your porch's space as well as your physical needs such as a high-back glider that adds additional upper back support.

The more comfortable the fit, the more often you'll use your porch glider.

Unlike a porch swing that is hung from above, a glider is operated from mechanisms at the bottom. This makes the actual swing more smooth and is a little safer to use than a porch swing.

It also makes a glider more portable; you can easily move it from one location to another on your porch.
