What's the best way to stop my aluminum outdoor glider from squeaking when it rocks?

Answer 1

A lubricating product like WD-40 will do the trick to stop that squeaky noise. You can also coat all exposed surfaces of your aluminum or metal outdoor funriture with a light layer of WD-40 to prevent tarnishing.

A handy way to stop or prevent that annoying creaky noise is to use the same type of product that you use to stop a squeaky screen door. Spray the metal parts, or apply with a cloth, using a lubricating product like WD-40, especially on the hinges; it will also help deter tarnishing.

Usually the squeaking is a result of the metal sliding against the metal. It would be a good idea to lubricate the areas that come into contact with each other. If you go to any hardware store they will be able to recommend a good product and tips to fix the glider.

Answer 2

Try applying a lubricant specifically designed for metal surfaces on the joints and moving parts of the glider. Alternatively, you can place rubber or felt pads between the moving parts to reduce friction and noise. Lastly, check for any loose screws or bolts that may be contributing to the squeaking and tighten them as needed.
