While doing the construction of the house site, we sometimes encounter the need to choose an awning for the garden swing. The design of the swing is quite simple, so that they can easily be installed anywhere on their own supports. But the choice of material and type of tent is sometimes difficult.
Types of awning for garden swing
First of all, all the tents for the swing can be divided by the type of installation for stationary and folding. The easiest to use is a tilt roof. It can easily be opened and closed with one hand movement. The frame of such a roof is usually made of light metal - aluminum.
Such a tilting canopy protects well from the sun and precipitation, but with a strong wind and sharp gusts it can become worthless. Therefore, it is often fixed with special rivets or tied up.
Where a more solid construction has a stationary awnings, roofs for garden swings. They are a rectangular frame with a dense protective fabric. They have a simple design and a lower cost in comparison with the hinged roofs. Installation and dismantling of this awning is quite simple.
One of the types of stationary roof for garden swings is a canopy covering the swing to the ground from all sides. This system is the most reliable during the rain.
And if the mosquito net goes with the tent for the garden swing, this will create protection against mosquitoes and other insects. On such a swing you can set aside children without fear that they are bitten.
Selecting a fabric for a removable awning for a garden swing
When you have decided on the type of awning on the swing, it remains to choose the optimal material of manufacture. And in addition to the colors and patterns, attention should be paid to the quality and composition of the fabric.
First of all, the tent should be waterproof and withstand high humidity, as well as high and low temperatures and exposure to direct sunlight.
Most often you can find awnings for a swing made by their PVC material.
Also there are tents made of strong fabrics with water-repellent impregnations. They are less durable and wear-resistant and require the removal of the awning during strong winds for longevity. Usually, fabric tents are chosen because of their attractive appearance.
To determine the material, you need to take into account the climatic characteristics of the region of residence and weather conditions, as well as the estimated duration and frequency of operation of the tent.
