Recycled Plastic Swings


Recycled Plastic
Recycled Plastic is made of amazingly strong and durable recycled plastic polymer crafted to look and feel like real wood. Each piece contains over 500 plastic milk jugs that were once destined for the landfill!

Recycled Plastic is a high performance wood lumber substitute manufactured from high density recycled plastic. Recycled Plastic is made to closely resemble wood products without the maintenance. Recycled Plastic Adirondack Double Rocking Chair

The advantages of recycled plastic are hard to ignore. Recycled Plastic absorbs no moisture and will not rot, warp, crack, splinter or support bacterial growth. Recycled Plastic is also compounded with permanent UV stabilized colors, which eliminates the need for painting, staining, waterproofing, stripping and resurfacing.

This material is also impervious to many substances including salt water, gasoline, paint, stains and mineral spirits. Recycled Plastic is also extremely easy to clean and maintain. Simple soap and water is all that you will need to get rid or dirt and make it look new again. For extreme cleaning needs, you can use a 1/3 bleach and water solution.

Recycled Plastic is non-toxic to humans and animals, and won't leach or bleed arsonic, heavy metals or chemicals into the soil. It can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by sequestering more than three times the amount of carbon as wood, rendering the carbon inert for decades. It's tougher and more resilient than treated wood.

Recycled plastic porch swings are a great way to lower your impact on the environment. Not only do they help reduce your environmental footprint, but they are also appealing because they are very low maintenance. You don’t have to stain it every few years, or worry about rust corroding the surface. Plastic weathers the outdoors well which ensures your swing will be around for many years to come.

Iron
With intricate designs and dark, beautifully worked metal, swings today are taking on a whole new appearance as people discover the aesthetic appeal and durability of the iron swing. Many people find that dark metal contrasts strikingly with a brick patio, making an iron swing a beautiful addition to any patio area. Iron is a durable material, making it a good choice for outdoor furniture. An iron swing is sure to give you years of enjoyment. Whether you place it near a pool, in a garden, or on a porch, iron gives any environment an elegant, timeless appeal. The beauty of an iron lies in its ability to be worked into different shapes and designs. The designs can be as specific as flowers, or angels, or as non-specific as graceful curves. An iron swing will add that ornate, antique Victorian look that reminds you and your guests of opulent bygone days.

Metal
The dark, metallic look of metal is unequaled by any other outdoor material. Rather than blending in to your outdoor environment, your metal swing will stand out fashionably. Metal is advantageous because other materials, like wood, cannot be welded into the dramatic curves and ornate style that metal can be fashioned into. Some styles cannot be done with anything but metal. Another benefit is the relatively low cost of metals like aluminum. And since metal can be recycled, it is an environmentally friendly furniture choice. You can even find swings that are made of recycled metal.

Wicker
Wicker porch swings bring back visions of early Victorian-style homes, ornate furniture, and a genteel lifestyle that revolves around family, work and play. Wicker is a durable outdoor material. Many of today's wicker porch swings are actually constructed of resin, which is weather resistant and maintenance free. The resin material allows you to forget about "Mother Nature" doing damage to your swing. These swings are constructed of lightweight polypropylene resin which is tightly woven over a steel frame. The resin variety gives you the look of wicker without the hassle. Also, the steel frame used in the resin variety will keep the swing from losing its shape over time. Unlike true wicker, resin will not dry, crack, or peel. Not to mention this type of wicker is weather proof and maintenance free. Say good-bye to peeling, scrapping, and painting! The weather-resistant resin is just the answer you've been looking for. It will let you and your family enjoy your porch swing for many years to come.

The comfort and relaxation you will experience in a wicker porch swing is wonderful. You may even decide to add a cushion and pillows for extra comfort. This will also add some style and charm to your swing. Once you experience a wicker swing, you'll never want to leave your patio! Care and maintenance of a resin wicker porch swing is easy. Simply spray it off with your garden hose. Mild soap and water may be used if the swing is really dirty. Once you've washed and rinsed your swing, allow it to drip dry. It couldn't be any simpler!
