Having a Swing at Home and Tips for Choosing the Right One
Have you ever found yourself locked at home with your family? You look for something to entertain yourselves outdoors but couldn’t find any to fall to.
A swing set is a great tool you might want to consider to overcome boredom at home.
While a swing might be known for kids, it also helps adults go back to memory lane, remembering childhood days and the joy of being a kid. This process lets you have memorable moments with your children.
Though a swing seems to play the role of recreation, it serves more than this, especially when it has a backrest. For example, adults find wooden swings also as a workstation.
Hence, it’s best to choose the right one, which is the purpose of this article.
It’s important to note that detachable swings are always the best ones, as they can be detached from the rope and placed on the ground.
Benefits of Having a Swing At Home
Here are the benefits you enjoy from having a swing in your home:
There are times we feel depressed and need somewhere to relax our minds. Swinging on a wing can be the perfect solution to this. When you’re tired of being in your room but don’t feel like mingling with friends, you can enjoy the moment on your swing to strengthen your mental health and do away with depression and anxiety.
Also, if you’re the type that works from home and needs to take a short break from work to catch fresh air, spending some time on your swing will help you regain focus and concentrate on your work.
Plus, studies show that spending time with nature is a natural cure to stress, and since a swing exposes you to nature, it’ll help to have a swing in your garden.
As stated earlier, the best wooden swings are ones with detachable ropes. Investing in a detachable swing means you can detach the ropes and place the swing down to relax.
Wooden swings are a perfect choice for this. Some wooden swings come with plushy cushions to style them and help you feel comfortable when you need to relax and not swing.
This shows that besides having a wooden swing as a regular swing, you can also turn it into a sofa-like piece to relax in your garden. With this, you can have a short nap in your garden and relieve your back pressure.
Besides the benefits a swing has on your personal health, it also contributes to the beauty in your garden and your home in general. Wooden swings are available in different colors, wood quality, and designs, giving various options to choose one that suits your garden design.
Also, having a wooden swing in your garden helps it attract attention from guests.
As humans, we have times when we want to be alone and meditate. While you can meditate in your study room, meditating in your garden is said to be more effective. Hence, having a swing, especially wooden jhoola, in your yard helps take this effect to the extreme.
Wooden jhoolas are a great tool for curing back pain. Other than this, a wooden swing helps you concentrate more and is a good place for having a sunbath.
What to Consider When Choosing the Best Swing
Here are a few factors to consider to choose the best swings for your home:
Before making your choice of swing, it’s helpful to know the different types of swings available. This lets you know what type is best for you.
Swings are often categorized by their frame: free-standing, in-ground, and ceiling-hanging swings. Swings whose frames are placed on the ground are known as free-standing, while in-ground swings are cemented to the ground, and ceiling-standing swings are suspended to the ceiling.
Free-standing: A free-standing swing might be a better ideal, as it doesn’t require concrete or special works to arrange. You only need to place the set on the ground and provide ground anchors, ensuring the frames don’t move around, making the swing safe to use.
In-ground: An in-ground swing requires that the ground is dug, so the legs are buried. This type is mostly used in public playgrounds. However, you can also use it at home, provided you won’t be moving your swing from one point to another.
Ceiling-hanging: Ceiling-hanging swings don’t have frames to place on the ground. The swings are rather hung to the ceiling, taking the room structure as their frame.
Other types of swings include crib, hammock, reversible, and traditional swings.
Swings are commonly metal and wooden. Wooden swings are more common than metal swings as metal swings easily get hot under the sun. Hence, this section focuses more on wooden swings.
Wooden swings are in different options, with different species of wood. However, natural wood tops the list.
Natural wood is the best as it has a long lifespan, thanks to its natural resistivity to decay and insects. Another important reason to choose natural wood is its low maintenance requirements.
Here is a list of wood species you’re likely to come across while shopping for a wooden jhoola, with while you should choose them.
Sheesham wood
While Sheesham wood, also known as Indian rosewood, shares similar features with teak, it’s a cheaper option. Hence, you can expect to have your Sheesham swing at a cheaper price than swings made from teak.
Another reason to want to consider Sheesham for your swing is its popularity, meaning that you’ll have various options to choose from. Plus, Sheesham wood is easy to maintain and has a long lifespan.
Mango wood
Mango wood is another excellent wood for swings. Since wooden swings installed outdoors are exposed to water and harsh conditions, the wood must be strong and water-resistant. These are exactly the features of mango wood.
Also, since mango wood is readily available, pieces made from the wood are cheaper. This makes mango-wood furniture affordable than those made from teak and oak, its hardwood counterparts.
Acacia wood
Wooden swings are also made from acacia wood. Acacia wood offers an array of benefits, such as ease of maintenance, resistance to water, mildew, and insects.
Acacia wood comes with a smooth finish, setting it apart from other wood.
Teak wood
Teak is a popular name when it comes to the selection of wood for furniture. This popularity is attributed to its natural resistance to decay, insects, water, and mildew. Also, since teak contains high wax and oil content, wooden jhoola made from teak last longer.
If you’re the type that cherishes furniture with low maintenance, teak jhoola is a great option to consider. Since teakwood doesn’t require paint or chemicals, it needs little maintenance.
Having carefully chosen your desired material, the next factor to consider when purchasing a swing is the size. You want to get the right size of swing that is ideal for all members of your family.
Choosing the right size means paying attention to the height and width of the set. While some swings have as low as five-foot decks, some offer up to seven-foot decks. The deck is the landing height of a swing.
It’s best to go for a higher landing height, even if you’re considering the swing for your children. With higher landing height, your children will grow to fit into the height, rather than over-growing it.
Another important factor to consider when it comes to size is the number of seats you want. Swings are commonly single-seater, double-seater, and three-seaters. Your choice of seater should base on how much space you want your swing to have and your budget.
However, it’s important to know that going for a three-seaterswing gives you enough room when you need to relax and take a nap on your swing in your garden.
Another factor to consider when purchasing a swing (wooden or metal) is its level of safety. Your safety and your children’s is what you don’t want to compromise. Hence, you want to ensure that your swing is safe to use for all members of your home and your guests.
The best way to ensure safety is to go for a pre-prepared swing. These swings are carefully made, so they’re safe for all: the wholes are well-drilled, the beams have adequate density, and you can easily assemble them with a few instructions. They’ve also be tested to ensure they stand the test of time.
Below is the customer testimony we liked & picked to share with you before it gets lost in many reviews.
“Jhula has been an integral part of many homes and it’s look and feel decides it’s place of installation while the comfort and swing decides it’s actual usage. So while many ornamental swings are just installed and never used, a more contemporary yet simple design should give more functionality, ease of installation, comfort and should complement your surroundings rather than try to stand out. Many heavy metal or wooden swings aren’t smooth while being use and make squeaking noise and look too over the top traditional with heavy carvings etal. The fact is, a simple functional and contemporary Swing should be part of your daily usage in your bss as loony, Garden or living room….. and Evolvekart’s wooden swings for all these criteria..“
