Outdoor Hanging Swings
Looking for that relaxing spot in your outdoor space to just set back and forget about your day, one of these Outdoor hanging Swings could be a great place to start.
They will not have stands and will need a solid overhead structure for mounting. Some will seat two or you can choose one that is just for you to relax in. Grab a drink or a good book and watch the world go by.
My outdoor swing is on a stand, if you prefer one like this see my post on swings with stands here. I have several post on single seat or multiple seat swings with stands.
If you have a covered porch area or a solid tree to hang from one of these examples below will work well for your patio or backyard seating.

Jack Post
A simple slat designed swing made from cypress wood. This style of wood does very well in outdoor conditions. Chains will attach to the arms to support this swing.

The natural cypress wood can be stained, painted or left natural to be treated every year.
Cotton Padded Swing Chair
A little different swing for just one person. It is like a chair seat and back with ropes hanging it from a rod. This rod will have a rope to hang it from a tree or solid mount in a ceiling.
The swing is a wide 38 inches at the seat, 17.75 inches deep and 52 inches from the seta to the top of the rope.
The wood is Schema wood, a wood used for fine carving, and very hard. The material is a recycled cotton material.
This swing chair will be great for inside use also. I would not leave it out in the weather when not in use. Storing this swing like a hammock will keep it looking like new for a long time.
This is a great seating solution with movement for under $60.
Maurice

A basket that will cradle you while you sit on the cushion for comfort. The metal frame will be covered with a light brown woven resin wicker.
This swing chair will be 33 inches wide, 30 inches deep, and 44 inches tall to the top hook.
An 8-foot chain is supplied with this chair to hang from your favorite tree or a hook in the ceiling. No weight capacity is given for this swing, it will depend on the mounting hardware and strength of the structure above the swing.
The beige cushion is more of a seat cushion, it does not go high enough in the back to give any support.

The soft beige cotton material will make a soft seat for long term sitting.

It will weigh about 7 pounds, it will be very easy to move or take down when not in use, It will fold flat and be easy to store.

My final thought on hanging swings
I have a bench-type swing on a stand in my back yard, this will allow a place to relax with movement with someone else. My choice of a stand is that I do not have a porch or big enough tree to mount my swing on. For more information on backyard swings with a stand, see my post here.
You will need to have your own stand or an appropriate upper structure to mount your swing to. All of these swings can be mounted to the ceiling of a porch or to a tree that is big enough to support your weight and the weight of the swing. Having an expert look at your mounting point and giving you some advice may be needed to keep you from having a bad experience.
You will have to choose your style and the number of seats that you will need for your outdoor area, some of these swings can also be used indoors with the proper mounts.

Wow, so much choice, it really is difficult. After the year we have had I cannot wait for the summer to purchase some new garden furniture but what to choose with so many beautiful options available. These outdoor hanging swings are all so beautiful and cater to all tastes. I would have to say that the comfier the better for me though.
Sofia,
making your buns comfortable will allow you to sit and enjoy your outdoor space for longer periods. I have added cushions to my glider at the lake to make it more comfortable for me.

Haha thanks for the article my guy! To be honest with ya, I’ve never really had a desire to get an outdoor swing because of the stand.. idk, it’s just never really appealed to me. However, now that I know that there’s some that don’t have a stand, I might have to reconsider! I think my favorite one is the Ella Rose
That is a very simple and low priced option. I have a swing with a stand, it is easier to move when needed. I like your choice.
