Hammocks Swings & Chairs

Undoubtedly the most elegant hammock chairs and swing chairs are those made for the porch and patio. These beautifully designed pieces are a stylish feature for any patio or backyard but can also be used in a conservatory or sunroom.

 
Unlike conventional hammocks, porch and patio swing chairs are designed to accommodate more than one person. More like a swinging sofa or couch, porch and patio swing chairs are a novel way of adding a touch of fun to any back yard or patio.

Types of porch and patio swing chairs include simple timber benches (rather like a suspended, slatted garden bench), deliciously comfortable upholstered and cushioned bench seats, elegant wicker swing chairs and even decorative wrought iron.

The timber porch swings are available in a number of styles – from traditional park bench to elaborate Victorian designs and may be painted or left with their natural timber colour. Top of the range timber porch swings come with their own pergola, which encases the swing on three sides offering not only a private place of contemplation but a superb piece of art for any outdoor area.

Cushioned patio swings can be covered in a man-made fabric, cotton or canvas. These patio swing chairs are available in an array or vibrant colours, guaranteed to give a high-end beach feel to any outdoor area. It’s also possible to buy them with or without overhead canopies.

Wrought iron porch swings are stunning. While certainly the most expensive version, they are beautiful pieces, guaranteed to add a touch of flair to any outdoor area. If you really want the wrought iron look without paying the corresponding price, cast aluminium patio swing chairs are available. For those who are short on hanging space, most versions usually come with a stand option. The stands are similar in style to the frames of children’s park swings and also mean they can be relatively easily moved around.

Wicker porch and patio swing chairs come in natural wicker and artificial wicker-look versions. Both versions are beautifully designed with traditional wicker patterns. The advantage of resin-made wicker porch swings is that they are far more durable than natural wicker and easier to clean.
