Comparison GreenGard Siviliya Solo vs Ukrainskie Konstrukcii Milan

The maximum load for which the product is designed, in other words, the maximum weight that it can be guaranteed to withstand without breaking. It is impossible to exceed this indicator: even if the structure does not break immediately, it can happen at any time.

The maximum load is selected taking into account the number of people for which the product is designed. At the same time, in multi-seat models, the weight of each individual person is taken with a significant margin — for example, a three-seat swing can have a limit of more than 300 kg, which allows even people of massive build to use furniture safely. However, anyway, compliance with the load will not hurt to clarify separately, and with a large user weight, this is especially true.

The height of the back provided in the design of the product. Usually, it is measured from the seat to the top edge of the backrest.

It makes sense to specifically look for high (80 cm or more) backs if you want to get furniture with support under the back of your head.

The material and design of the seat provided in the product. The same design, usually, has a back.

— Spring block. The base of the seat is made of springs connected into cells — usually in the form of characteristic hexagonal "honeycombs". It definitely requires a mattress, while in itself it can be quite soft and elastic.

— Metal mesh. The base of the seat is made of metal mesh, usually with quadrangular cells. It has high strength, it turns out to be somewhat more rigid than the spring block (see the relevant paragraph); the latter can be both a disadvantage and an advantage, depending on personal preference. Also requires a mattress.

— Wooden array. The base of the seat is made of wooden elements: for example, in a conventional swing (see "Type"), it may look like a set of parallel planks fixed across the seat. Some models with a similar design can be used without a mattress. At the same time, wood is somewhat inferior to metal in terms of reliability and durability, and therefore is rare.

— Wicker. The base of the seat, woven from natural or artificial wicker. This design is especially popular among hanging chairs (see "Type"), it allows you to give the product an original appearance and at the same time is quite durable and practical; usually in such cases, t...he weaving turns out to be quite large, and a soft tab is provided for comfort. Another advantage of such structures is their low weight, which makes it easy to move the chair from place to place — for example, under a canopy during the rain (the chairs are usually not equipped with their own canopies). A classic swing can also have a wicker base, in such cases flat fibers with frequent weave are sometimes used, on which you can sit quite comfortably without mattresses and other overlays.

— Textile. The base is in the form of a dense fabric, tightly stretched over the frame around the perimeter of the seat. Such products can be equipped with mattresses, but in general this is not necessary: a textile seat can be comfortably accommodated without pads, and some of these products initially assume this method of use. The disadvantage of this option can be called sensitivity to punctures and cuts: a sharp object can damage the fabric, and a tear that is not sewn up in time tends to increase over time.

The material used as a filler in a complete swing mattress.

— Foam rubber. Soft material with a characteristic porous structure, usually based on polyurethane foam. In general, it has a low cost; however, the specific properties and overall quality of the foam may vary depending on the price range. The common features of all such materials are softness, as well as good air and moisture permeability. The most advanced types of foam rubber can have a “memory effect”, although this feature is almost never found in mattresses for garden swings.

— Sintepon. Non-woven synthetic fibre material. Differs in volume and at the same time softness, provides excellent thermal insulation while being one of the most inexpensive fillers. The specific properties and quality of the synthetic winterizer, usually, depend on the price category of the mattress; it should be noted that inexpensive varieties of this material do not tolerate getting wet and can clump as they wear.

— Foam rubber / synthetic winterizer. The combination of foam rubber and synthetic winterizer. About each of these materials separately, see above, and their combination is usually implemented as follows: the inner part of the hardware of the mattress, made of foam rubber, is sheathed with a layer of padding polyester. This allows you to achieve greater softness and better thermal insulation than using pure foam rubber.

— Holcon. Synthetic material b...ased on polyester fibers twisted in a spiral. Due to this, the surface is sufficiently dense and elastic, capable of quickly restoring its shape after pressing. Another advantage is that Holcon is not afraid of getting wet and is able to even endure washing in a washing machine (although a mattress with such a filler may be incompatible with a “washer” for other reasons, this point should be clarified separately). At the same time, the price of such a filler is relatively low.

— Hollow fiber. Another material based on synthetic polyester fibers, in this case one of the key features is the hollow structure of the fibers. Thanks to it, the hollow fiber turns out to be light, voluminous and elastic, has excellent thermal insulation characteristics and at the same time passes air and moisture well ("breathes"). In addition, the advantages of this material include durability and the ability to resist caking for a long time. — Sintepukh. A synthetic analogue of natural bird fluff, one of the varieties of non-woven materials based on polyester fibers — in this sense, sintepukh is a "relative" of holcon and hollow fiber. This material consists of microscopic polyester fibers, in which there are cavities, thereby reducing the overall weight. To ensure water-repellent properties, the fibers are treated with silicone, and in order for the filler not to clump and retain elasticity, they are twisted into spirals. Another type of synthetic down is also produced, where the fibers are twisted into balls — it resists deformation even better. This material is positioned as environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic, it allows the skin to "breathe" and has a fairly long service life.

The thickness of the filler used in the complete swing mattress.

With the same material (see “Mattress filler”), a thicker mattress is softer, sitting through it does not feel the same way; this is especially important if metal mesh or springs are used as a support (see "Seat"). On the other hand, greater thickness has a corresponding effect on weight, price and ease of movement. Therefore, manufacturers in each case try to choose the thickness in such a way as to achieve the optimal ratio between these moments, and in general, this characteristic is more of a reference than practically significant.

The material from which the awning mounted on the swing is made.

The awning is intended mainly for protection from the sun's rays, but it can also be useful as protection from light rain. The materials from which it is made can be as follows:

— Oxford. The name "oxford" is used for different types of fabrics, but they all have one common feature — weaving of the "gunny" ("Panamanian") type, forming a texture in the form of characteristic squares arranged in a checkerboard pattern. As for the composition, in the case of awnings in Oxford fabrics, synthetic fibre is usually used — nylon or polyester. Both of these materials have high density, durability, resistance to temperature extremes and pollution, ease of cleaning and moisture resistance. At the same time, nylon is generally somewhat stronger, and polyester tolerates exposure to sunlight better and does not tend to stretch when wet.

— Polyester. Synthetic material based on polyester fibers. Thanks to a number of advantages, it is one of the most popular materials in "street" and tourist equipment, including awnings for garden swings. In particular, polyester is durable, tolerates temperature changes well, does not fade under sunlight and does not stretch when wet (unlike another similar material — nylon), repels moisture well and can be made practically waterproof, resistant to dirt and easy to clean from them. .

— Polyester. The term "polyester" is used...by some manufacturers and sellers to refer to regular polyester; see above for more details.

— Cotton. Natural fabric, which is primarily valued for its high degree of environmental friendliness and hypoallergenic properties. The main distinguishing feature is the ability to "breathe" freely. In the manufacture of awnings (covers) for garden furniture / swings, Teflon-impregnated cotton is most often used, which additionally boasts water-repellent properties and is highly resistant to the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation.

— Cotton/polyester. A fabric that combines cotton and the polyester described above in approximately equal proportions. Such material is considered more natural than the polyester described above, and is valued by some users precisely for this; in addition, it has a less slippery and shiny surface than pure synthetic fibre, and in some cases looks neater. At the same time, in terms of strength, moisture resistance and other practical properties, such a fabric is inferior to polyester, and therefore is relatively rare.

— Polycotton. One of the names for a fabric that combines cotton and polyester. See above for more details on this combination.

— Texilk. Synthetic fabric that is created on the basis of olefin. This material is great for stationary outdoor placement. Textile fabric does not fade or mold, it shows high resistance to various kinds of mechanical stress. The material can be subjected to repeated washing, it dries quickly and does not lose its original shape.

The presence of a shelf-stand in the design of the product.

Mostly classic swings have such equipment (see "Type"). The stand provides space for various small items that you need to keep close at hand, such as a book, magazine or mobile phone. In addition, in the absence of a cup holder (see the relevant paragraph), the shelf can also be useful for a container with a drink.

The presence of a cup holder in the design of the product — a specialized stand for glasses and relatively small bottles. Such a stand usually has a characteristic recess, where a container with a drink is installed; Thanks to this design, the chance of accidentally knocking over the container and spilling the contents is minimized. Coasters are often made in pairs — on both sides of the seat.

The thickness of the profile used in the frame of the product, in other words, is the thickness of the main parts from which the frame is made.

Ceteris paribus, a thicker profile is more durable, reliable and massive (and therefore stable), but also more expensive and inconvenient to transport.
