Cypress Grandpa Glider

Yes, cypress wood is naturally resistant to decay and insects, making it an excellent choice for outdoor environments. However, applying a high-quality outdoor sealant or choosing a painted finish will further protect the wood from weathering and sun damage over time.

The glider typically arrives partially assembled to ensure safe transit. You will need to complete some final assembly steps, but all necessary hardware and instructions are included to make the process straightforward.

The glider uses a smooth, ball-bearing-style mechanism that allows the seat to move back and forth on a stationary base. This design provides a consistent, quiet motion without the tipping risk associated with traditional rocking chairs.

Yes, you can purchase the glider in an unfinished state. This is a great option if you prefer to use a specific wood stain or outdoor preservative that matches other furniture you already own.

Cypress is low-maintenance, but like all natural wood, it benefits from occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. If you choose a stained or painted finish, you may need to touch up the surface every few years to maintain its appearance and protective barrier.
