The material of the frame plays an important role when it comes to choosing a swing. A distinction is made between wood and metal.
If the garden swing is made of wood, then the seat is usually also made of wood. When it comes to steel frames, the seat is usually made of plastic, e.g. polyester.
Depending on the material, the respective design can of course also be influenced. For example, a wooden swing has a rather warm and cosy effect on the ambience in contrast to a steel swing, which has a cold appearance.
