Our Picks
All metal glider
This 50” glider is a durable, reliable, and weather-resistant piece. It includes rounded armrests for additional comfort. However, not everyone finds metal seats particularly cozy. So, if you’re planning on using yours for long periods of time, you might want to add a cushion.
Designer Advice:
Decide where you’re going to place your new metal glider first. This is also because some metals are more weather-resistant than others. If your glider is sheltered underneath a roof, then you don’t have to worry about it. If it’s for your garden rather than the patio, consider sticking to powder-coated options or aluminum, which is rust-resistant.
Versatile metal glider
Red Barrel Studio®
With its clean lines, this glider will match most patio decors. It’s just under 48” in length, so a fairly compact solution, too. Because it combines a metal frame and a fabric seat and back, it translates into a casual and spontaneous vibe.

Designer Advice:
Choose a metal glider in a design or color that complements your existing outdoor furniture. However, don’t forget about more practical factors. If fabric is involved and there’s no roof above your glider, you need to look for weatherproof options. For example, this model consists of PVC-coated polyester, which is both water- and UV-resistant.
Comfy metal porch glider
This metal glider bench showcases a decorative and reliable powder-coated steel frame. While they aren’t removable, the three cushions really take comfort to the next level. You can find them in three charming finishes: red, navy, and beige.
Metal glider with tray
Fleur De Lis Living
This 58.25” glider spoils you with a tempered glass table top in between the two seats. This makes it a real treat for couples who’d like to enjoy some drinks outside together. The versatile gray finish will match most patio decors, too.

Designer Advice:
Your metal glider can become an attention-grabbing accent in your patio area. Still, it’d be ideal to complement your existing furniture from a decorative standpoint. For a balanced result, we recommend keeping only two of these factors consistent: same back height, style, or color. For instance, given its unique design, this model would work well with garden furniture in the same hue and height.
