Hanging garden seats are a perfect way to add a vertical element to a garden — particularly if you can actually suspend one from a tree or other garden structure (rather than simply buying the base and plopping it into a design).  In my own backyard, I have an oak tree with a perfect branch — in a couple years.  I am researching on how to tell if your tree branch will be able to take the weight of a swing.  I am sure that different tree varieties will hold better than others and certainly the diameter of the branch must be taken into account.  Seems like their ought to be a table somewhere to help a person to know if it would work before damaging anything. Know of anything like this?

I have rounded up a variety of hanging garden seats.  They are top to bottom in price (some cheap and some very expensive) and where available easily I have included the pricing.   I hope you find this useful.

And don’t forget — one of my all time favorite hanging garden seats….the pink fermob balancelle chair that I featured last spring.
