How to Assemble a Porch Glider

Porch glider kits come ready for assembling with all wood sections, screws, bolts and any other parts necessary for your specific model. Most kits only contain a few wood pieces requiring assembly. While every kit varies slightly in its instructions, a screwdriver is typically all you'll need to secure the sections together.
