Create a spot to sit back outdoors with a swing chair for your patio, verandah, balcony or garden. The Factory Buys range includes hanging egg and pod chairs, double hanging chairs, wooden porch swings and two- and three-seater garden bench swings, with options including freestanding frames, cushions and canopies depending on the design.

With stock held in Australia, your order can be dispatched within 1 to 2 business days. You'll also have a 12-month warranty and support available seven days a week from our Australian owned and operated team.

Discover the right type of swing chair

Start with how many people you want to seat and where the chair will go. A single hanging chair or egg chair gives you your own spot to sit back, while wider hanging designs provide more room if you don't want a traditional bench-style swing. For shared seating, look at two- and three-seater swing benches. The range includes wooden porch-style swings as well as freestanding garden swings, with some designs adding a canopy for extra shade. 

Working out how much space you need

A swing chair needs enough room for both the frame or hanging seat and its movement. Check the full product dimensions first, then allow clear space around the chair so it can swing without hitting a wall, railing, outdoor table or other furniture. Height matters too, particularly if you're placing the chair beneath a verandah, pergola or other covered area. Measure the available height as well as the floor space before ordering. If you like a deeper, rounded seat but don't have room for a swinging design, a papasan chair is another option.

Checking the frame, hanging setup and weight capacity

Some swing chairs come with a freestanding frame, while porch-style swings may use chains or other hanging hardware. Check what's included with the individual product and whether you'll need a suitable structure for installation before ordering.

Weight capacity is another important specification to check, particularly for double chairs and two- or three-seater swings. Compare the listed capacity with the number of people who'll use the chair rather than assuming every larger swing supports the same weight. If you'd prefer seating that stays firmly in place, browse our outdoor garden benches.

Caring for your swing chair

Care requirements will depend on the materials used in your chair. If it comes with cushions, check whether they're designed to be left outdoors or should be stored somewhere dry between uses. Keeping removable cushions protected from prolonged rain and sun can also make them easier to look after. 

For frames and woven sections, follow the cleaning instructions provided with the individual product. PE wicker, timber and metal components can have different care requirements, so avoid assuming the same cleaning method will suit every swing chair. An outdoor furniture cover can provide additional protection when compatible with the size and shape of your chair.

Swing Chair FAQ

Do swing chairs come with a stand?

The swing chairs in our range include their own freestanding frame, so there's no fixing into a ceiling, a pergola beam or a verandah rafter. Check the individual product page to confirm what's included, since the cushion and canopy vary between models even where the stand is standard.

How much weight can a swing chair hold?

Capacity is listed per product and varies with the frame and the seat design. On a two or three seater bench, the rating covers everyone sitting on it at the same time rather than one person. Check the figure in the specifications before ordering, particularly if adults will be using a bench together.

Where is the best place to put a swing chair?

Allow room beyond the frame at the front and back, because the seat travels as it swings rather than staying inside the footprint. Check the overall height against a verandah roof or pergola if it's going under cover, and measure the usable floor area rather than the full width on a balcony.

Can a swing chair stay outside all year?

The frames and weave are made for outdoor use, though constant sun and rain will age any of it faster. Covering the swing when it isn't in use and bringing the cushions inside makes the biggest difference. Check the chains, hooks and fixings once a season and tighten anything that's worked loose.

What care do swing chair cushions need?

Where the cover is removable, follow the washing instructions on the label. Otherwise spot clean with mild soapy water and a soft cloth, then let the cushion dry completely before it goes back on, since packing a damp cushion away is what causes mildew. Avoid harsh solvents on outdoor fabric.
