For many of us across the US, this Summer has been anything but mild. The heat and sunshine have led many of us to be zapped of energy by the end of the day. So, what’s a good way to relax on these hot summer days? How about chilling out on a rope swing under a porch while sipping on an iced beverage?
Find a Swing that Fits Your Style
Not only should a swing fit your visual style, but it should fit your comfort style, too. There are many styles to choose from, and one of the most common is the rollback swing.
Adirondack swings have also come into high popularity. The resemblance to an Adirondack chair and durable poly frame has made this swing option a comfortable place to sit.
Wooden swings may not have all the same weather-proof features as a poly option, but there is a natural charm that comes with them. In fact, maybe your grandparents had a wood swing at one point, and what better way to stir up old memories than by getting one similar to theirs?
What Accessories Can Be Added?
Many swings have the potential to offer even more comfort than just the basic frame. One option you can look for while shopping swings is for a cup holder. Many two-seater swings can be built with a fold-down cup holder.
Another comfort feature you should explore is cushions. Not every rope swing has fitted cushions, but there are many options that do provide that feature. The best cushion companies that work with swing builders, like Sunbrella, offer many color options and are easy to clean and withstand the elements.
Best Places to Set Up a Rope Swing
Rope swings are great for A-frames (which might be available to purchase with your swing) or under your porch. Most double-seated swings are heavy enough that the average tree is not durable enough to hold them. However, a single-seat swing (especially if it isn’t made of poly) could be tied to a thick branch. It is best to know the weight of your swing and the average total weight that will be on the swing while in use. The last thing you want is to cause injury to someone, or damage to your property.
