Wicker Porch Swings Are Elegant and Timeless |

February 24, 2005 By: Fran Christie Wicker Porch Swings Are Elegant and TimelessTrue antique wicker furniture should never be exposed to the harsh weather elements of sun, rain, snow or wind. These fibers deteriorate from the sun and become dry and brittle and excess moisture causes the fibers to wear. Do not overlook the fact that the hardwood frames will warp under moist conditions. With today’s well-treated wicker you can own porch swings, rockers, chairs and tables and leave them outside without the same worry. Faux wicker in either resin or fiberglass is probably the best choice if you plan on leaving it outside year after year. You will love the hours of enjoyment a well-made swing hung with the highest quality steel hardware can give you. Don’t forget a porch swing made from wicker is a great gift for retirement, a wedding, as a housewarming present, or for a young family. Choose a seat depth you find comfortable. Make sure there is space for the rain to run off and you’ll want a slight curve in the seat for more comfortable seating. Many people attach their swing to a gazebo or pergola. A few lucky people have a tree that will accommodate a swing while other choose to use an a-frame. Regardless is you choose a swing for one, two or three people make sure you have sufficient support to hold the weight.
