Direct from reputable suppliers across Australia, ArchiPro’s collection of swings and hanging chairs represents the best products on the market. An increasingly popular type of outdoor furniture, these chairs are free-standing or attached to a surface, providing supreme comfort and relaxation with gentle swinging. Egg chairs are the most common type, but rope hammock chairs are increasingly favoured for outdoor areas. Rope hammock chairs are similar to traditional hammocks, bringing an organic and natural feel to any outdoor space.

Swings and hanging chairs bring a burst of playfulness to any space while serving an important practical function. From hanging egg chairs to rope hammock chairs, these chairs can be placed both indoors and outdoors for a visually appealing seating option. ArchiPro has carefully curated a collection of only the best quality swings and hanging chairs in Australia from reputable suppliers you can trust.

Hanging egg chairs

As the name suggests, hanging egg chairs are the shape of an egg. The concave surface is packed with pillows for a comforting, snug fit. Seat depth is worth checking when choosing a hanging armchair such as the Scoop Pod Hanging Chair, particularly if it will be used for reading.

Rope hammock chairs

Rope hammock chairs are crafted from ropes, which offer maximum pliability and mould to support your body.

Outdoor hammock chairs

Not all hanging chairs are suited for the garden. However, some are available in weather-resistant materials like poly-cotton ropes that can withstand the outdoor conditions experienced in Australia.

The advantages of high-quality swings and hanging chairs

Swings and hanging chairs are the ultimate combinations of comfort, style, and fun. They are the perfect place to curl up and read a book or have a midday nap, lulled by the relaxing swinging sensation. Hanging egg chairs generally fit just a single person, making this a great option for some personal relaxation time. Hammock chairs, on the other hand, are available in larger sizes, fitting up to three people at once-perfect for outdoor hang-outs. For shared seating, hanging chairs for outside include double models such as the Bari Outdoor Double Hanging Chair – Natural.

How to choose swings and hanging chairs that are right for you

Before purchasing your chair, you’ll need to determine whether you will install it indoors or outdoors. The material of your chair will need to be more weather-resilient for the outdoors, as the conditions in Australia generally lead to increased wear and tear. Every chair should be highly durable and able to carry the weight load of a grown adult. Importantly, because your chair is suspended from a surface, you’ll need to check that your walls and ceilings are built with enough strength to withstand the weight.

What is the maximum weight capacity for an egg chair?

The weight capacity of your egg chair is relative to the type of chair you install. Different materials can withstand different loads, and harder construction materials like metals will have a greater weight capacity than wicker or rattan. In general, an egg chair can carry no more than 150 kilograms.

What are some things I need before buying a hanging chair?

Before installing a hanging chair, first check the suitability of the space. This includes the strength of the surface it will be suspended from. Plaster and drywall alone are not enough to support the weight. Find a sturdy ceiling joist in an ideal space in the room—this is the ideal location for securing your chair.

Does a hanging chair require a certain amount of space?

Experts recommend a minimum of 3 ft of space behind and in front of a hanging chair and 2 ft on either side. This will allow you to sway and swing without obstruction. Keep in mind that heavy swinging is not the best for the longevity of the chair.

What is the maximum weight capacity of a hanging chair?

Hanging chairs that are installed correctly can generally carry a greater load than a free-standing egg chair. Because a ceiling joist is incredibly strong, a maximum capacity of roughly 220 kilograms is recommended by professionals in Australia. However, it is best to check the specific manufacturer’s conditions of the chair you purchase.
