Home Improvement : Get in the Swing With New Glider

You can swing day or night, alone or in a group, with our elegant canopy glider swing. A combination of all the best features found in outdoor gliders, it seats up to four adults, has a table for holding your drinks, the canopy shades you from direct sunlight and it has a gentle swinging motion. Best of all, it’s easy to build when using our step-by-step plan.

Measuring about 94 inches high and 93 1/2 inches deep, it’s more than 6 1/2 feet wide. The glider is built from fir, plywood and galvanized pipe. First, build the frame and install the pipe, then add the seats, canopy and table (if desired). A materials list, cutting schedule, detailed directions with photos and diagrams will guide you. Traceable patterns for all pieces that are not straight cuts are also included.
