A porch classic
The gentle glide
Gliders have been a front-porch favorite for generations: the seat swings smoothly forward and back while the base stays planted, so it moves with you without walking across the floor. Woodard still builds them by hand, in iron and aluminum.

Why a glider
Motion without the rocking
A glider gives you the soothing motion of a rocker in a love seat built for two.
Smooth, gentle glide
The seat glides forward and back on its frame, a calmer motion than a rocker.
The base stays put
The base sits still while you glide, so it will not creep across a porch or deck.
Room for two
Love seat gliders seat two, for coffee, conversation or a slow evening.
Handcrafted in the USA
Woodard builds its gliders by hand, with Woodard's 15-year structural frame warranty.
Three ways to sit
Iron mesh, cushion or sling?
Every Woodard glider glides the same gentle way. The difference is the seat.

Glider questions
Frequently asked questions
Glider or rocker?
A rocker tips back and forth on curved runners; a glider moves the seat smoothly forward and back while its base stays still. Many people find gliding calmer, and the base will not travel across the floor.
Which glider is right for me?
For a classic porch look with no cushions to bring in, choose the Briarwood wrought iron glider. For the softest seat, choose the Andover gliding love seat with deep cushions. For pool decks and quick drying after rain, choose a sling glider from Cortland, Belden or Fremont.
Can I match a glider to my other furniture?
Yes. Each glider is part of a Woodard collection, so you can match lounge chairs, ottomans and tables in the same finish and fabric. The Belden 3-Piece Glider Lounge Set pairs the glider with a lounge chair and ottoman.
How long does it take, and what does delivery cost?
Every Woodard glider is made to order in the finish and fabric you choose. We confirm the build time when you order and keep you updated through delivery. Standard delivery is free, and white-glove delivery is free on orders of $7,500 or more.
Can I see finishes and fabrics before I order?
Yes. We send free fabric samples and finish chips. Contact us and tell us which colors you're considering.
Choosing a glider?
Tell us about your porch or patio. We'll help you pick the glider, finish and fabric, and send free swatches.
