Gliders
Gliders are basically couches on lateral rockers. Similar to rocking chairs, gliders are stand-alone loveseats or benches that glide gently to and fro laterally, rather than swinging from a stand or frame as with garden and porch swings.
Porch gliders are usually two-seaters, but you will find a fair selection of one-seaters and even three-seaters, and there are also face-to-face glider swing sets that do have a frame and are great for a larger patio or in the garden. A pine face-to-face glider swing set will cost from $1,500 to $2,000.
You can find gliders in any material and style to match your other patio or garden decor. A two-seater pine porch glider will cost from $375 to $500. You can add cushions to wood or metal gliders for extra comfort, and some gliders have a sling seat design.
A one-seat sling-style glider will start at about $250, while a two-seater will start at about $350, depending on your choice of construction material used for the frame.
