Everything You Need To Know About Porch Gliders
By Ken Wilssens
How many times have you wished that you had one of more porch gliders where you could glide back in forth in comfort as you enjoy your front or back porch? The mission style porch constructed of cedar wood is the sturdiest glider on the market. It is also the most popular with homeowners looking for elegant porch furniture. The hardware used in this glider is coated with zinc so that it won't rust from being outdoors. The wood is sealed with an oil base and although you will have to do annual maintenance on the glider to keep it looking its best, it is only minimal.
Rather than painting your glider, staining takes a lot less time to apply and dry. Stain suitable for cedar is readily available at most hardware and home improvement stores. If you wish, you don't even have to apply any treatment and allow the cedar to age to a silver gray color. You can leave a glider made from cedar outdoors all year long whether or not you have cold weather and snow.
There are kits you can buy to help you build your own glider if you like do it yourself projects. The kits contain all the materials and instructions that you need. With detailed drawings, you can see what you have to do each step of the building process. Such a project takes only 30 to 45 minutes and you can sit back in the glider and enjoy the porch. Once you assemble one for yourself, it is likely that your neighbors will want to know where you bought it. Without telling them about the kit, you can start your own profitable business making gliders for others and selling them from your home.
