Rust-Proof Means Worry-Proof

A garden swing glider can be the source of much backyard enjoyment for your family. Although they do require regular oiling to keep it sliding smoothly, one way that glider swings are lower maintenance than hanging porch swings is their lack of rust. Hanging swings depend on metal chains in order to create the back-and-forth motion which a glider also produces. Unfortunately, these chains are prone to rust, especially if your swing is in an area where it comes into regular contact with rain or other precipitation. The chains are nearly impossible to repair, and a pain and an unnecessary expense to replace.Gliders, on the other hang, swing using a gliding track system located on the bottom of the glider. Not only is this track system more sheltered from rain and the other elements than swing chains (which are located on top of the swings), but it is also typically made from rust-resistant hardware. If you are thinking about purchasing a glider, make sure that all of its zinc hardware includes a rust-proof coating. As long as this coating is included on your garden swing glider, you should never have to worry about rust slowing you down, and if you keep your glider well-oiled, it will never stop swinging!
