Replacing the Canopy on a Patio Swing

October 10, 2008

Patio SwingI have an old aluminum lawn swing which needed a new canopy. The cushions were easy to replace but I need a canopy. I went to a hardware store and bought a vinyl roll up shade (could be bamboo) and placed it over the top of the swing. I tied it down with plastic slip ties. It has lasted over three years now and is easy to keep clean.

Brilliant Mary C on the roll-up window shade to replace my patio swing canopy!!! $20 window shade (plastic) & zip ties done in less than an hour.

Unroll, remove strings and bottom plastic "bar." Place over canopy, roll back up to desired length (bottom of shade without the bar or keep on if you want a bit of privacy), zip tie to frame! For added support I cut the bottom plastic bar & zip tied to middle of canopy as mine didn't have one. Then Steve came up with using pieces of the bar to support the zip ties on the top of the canopy.

Best part, it will not blow away as the wind goes thru the shade.

Love this site. Can't wait to discover more thrifty ways!

Where can I buy a replacement canopy for a Garden Treasure 3-seat cushioned swing purchased from Lowe's; Model #GSS00132B? Lowe's no longer sells the item.

You have been afforded several links to replacement canopies but I did not see any canopies with your model number and other models may not fit your swing.

If you check this link you will see what type of information is needed to find the right canopy.

www.gardenwinds.com/lowes-c-140_176.html

you may be able to contact some of these places and ask about your model but be very careful because return shipping for an incorrect fit will be expensive.

I would suggest you visit your Lowe's customer service center and find someone that can help you with this.
Otherwise you may have to do a lot of searching to find this canopy as I've been through this and sales people are not that knowledgeable about these products - and each model can be different.
There will be some models that are the same but you'll have to find someone that really knows about these items.
You may find one that you can use (but it may not fit correctly).

I believe Lowe's will get you in touch with the Garden Treasure company and they can tell you what canopy will fit your swing.

I have two swings and one BBQ grill with canopies and a gazebo where the cloth has either disintegrated or been torn to shreds by the cats. I would like to replace the canopies with something cat proof that will last. Are there metal canopies?

Any ideas?

I live in a very windy area and the canopy that is currently on the swing acts like a parachute. When it is windy it pulls the swing over. Is there some kind of fabric or something the wind can flow through so this would not happen?


The wind actually pulls the stakes I have on the swing right out of the ground.
I would really appreciate some ideas thank you.

Where can I purchase a durable top for an outdoor double glider? The frame over the glider is wood and is flat with a slight curve in the middle. The frame is 46" by 94". It is Amish made if that helps.

I am looking for a replacement canopy for a three-seat hammock swing that I purchased from Walmart a few years ago. The canopy top resembles a gazebo top. It is stationary (does not pivot) and angles up from the four sides to a flat top in the center similar to a roof.

tubular swing gliderDoes anyone know an easy inexpensive way to replace the canopy that goes over a swing? Mine fell apart from just normal sun/weather exposure. The frame and rest of the swing is fine. I don't really want to have to replace the whole thing (too expensive) if I don't have to. Help!

If you still have the old one, use it as a pattern or draw a pattern using the dimensions. I used shower curtains from thrift store/Goodwill to make cushion covers for my outdoor chair cushions.

Maybe a tablecloth would work.
