An ideal seating option for the outdoor areas of your home, you can situate Polywood gliders on your balcony, along the patio or in the garden. They are fairly weather resistant, comfortable and have a style of their own which appeals to many people. While traditional Polywood gliders were made from wood, there are many furniture items now which resemble this traditional style but use different materials. In order to navigate your way around the difficulties that arise when buying any garden furniture, we've compiled some useful tips and tricks so you can make it much easier for yourself.
Although this will depend on many factors, people often struggle to know how much seating to buy. This isn't something which applies only to the garden furniture either – many homeowners struggle to know how much living room furniture and other items to buy too. When deciding how much seating to buy for your garden in the form of Polywood gliders, here are the main things to consider.
- People in your household: You should think about the number of adults in your household. While children will use garden furniture, they are unlikely to be found sitting still when they could be playing in the garden.
- Likelihood of guests: If you enjoy hosting garden parties or other social events which involve spending plenty of time outdoors, you should consider buying some extra furniture. You can always buy 2-3 extra seats and put them in the garage or other storage areas during the winter months.
- Budget: You should consider your budget for garden furniture as a priority when looking at Polywood gliders. Although the prices will vary depending on the supplier, quality and brand, you should set yourself a budget and stick to it. You can always upgrade the furniture or buy more at a later date.
Some of the most popular colors which are used for Polywood gliders are:
- Grey: A traditional color for this style of furniture, which often also resembles beach chairs and other beach furniture. It is a fairly neutral color which will fit with most existing garden furniture and also the flowers and plants that you may have outside.
- Blue: Another color which is reminiscent of traditional beach furniture, this is a brighter color which is a bolder choice than grey. The shades used are most commonly soft and pale rather than bold and bright, but this doesn't mean it won't add some extra color to a plain garden.
- Brown and beige: Two colors which work very well together, you will see these quite often on Polywood gliders. If you are buying a two-seater Polywood glider, a two-tone effect can be a great choice for you and your garden.
