Smooth gliding motion is so soothing that many people use gliders for afternoon naps. 4' Porch gliders are small enough for a private gliding and a bit of privacy yet are large enough for two, to snuggle together, or just have a chat. Porch gliders come in many colors, from simple white or black, to pastels or crazy vivid hues. While they look like porch benches, gliders require a little more care and maintenance.  If your glider is made of weather-resistant hard wood or very durable recycled plastic, you do not have to worry about the seat, but have to keep careful care of the moving parts. Regular cleaning and a bit of oil from time to time will keep your porch glider in perfect condition and it will give you many years of smooth gliding.
