Know before you buy
Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to decay, rot, and insect damage, making it an ideal choice for outdoor environments. It is also lightweight yet durable, allowing it to withstand changing weather conditions over time.
The glider uses a smooth, pendulum-style motion that provides a gentle sway without the need for a hanging frame. It offers the comfort of a rocker with a more fluid, relaxing movement.
While the cedar is naturally weather-resistant, applying a wood sealer or stain periodically will help maintain the wood's color and prevent it from weathering to a silvery-gray patina. If you choose a finished option, simply cleaning it with mild soap and water is usually sufficient.
No, the glider is constructed with zinc-plated hardware specifically chosen for its resistance to rust and corrosion. This ensures the structural integrity remains sound even when exposed to outdoor humidity and rain.
Yes, the materials are designed for outdoor use. However, if you live in an area with harsh winters or extreme precipitation, covering the glider or storing it in a shed or garage during the off-season will significantly extend its lifespan.
Beyond the aesthetic appeal of a clean, seamless look, hiding the screws helps prevent water from pooling in fastener holes. This reduces the risk of moisture-related wood damage around the connection points.
