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.

All metal glider
Breakwater Bay
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.

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.

For example, this model consists of PVC-coated polyester, which is both water- and UV-resistant.
