Many blogs and other media publications recommend purchasing outdoor furniture during the fall months, specifically late August into October.
These months are fantastic times to find outdoor patio furniture, but there are benefits to different times of the year.
For example: Here at Watson’s, we kick off the spring season with an annual outdoor sale where furniture is often up to 70% off.
If you plan to order custom furniture, place your order as early as possible. It could take up to 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the manufacturer.
This is typically when you’ll find the biggest selection to choose from, when inventory is highest and you’re less likely to have your choice sold out.
Many of the nation’s largest manufacturers also release their brand-new lines in the spring, usually around March and April.
So if you want to shop the latest styles and trends, place your patio furniture order before Memorial Day.
After Labor Day, stores like ours need to make more room for living room and dining room furniture for the fall. So you’ll find patio furniture deals.
Beware, though, that there’s one major downside to shopping in the fall:
The longer you wait to purchase during the fall, the less selection you’ll find. If you have your eye on a particular set, there’s a chance it could sell out.
Winter is another great time to purchase outdoor patio furniture, specifically January and February.
Prices are often slashed on any remaining inventory from last year to make room for spring and summer products. So keep an eye for deals around New Year’s.
If you do plan on buying a set of outdoor patio furniture in the winter months, make sure you can adequately store every piece until springtime approaches.
If you have a shed or garage, you can safely place your furniture there until spring rolls around.
Do not assume the price will go down as the season goes on. Sometimes, stores or manufacturers are able to offer special pricing for a limited time, so the price could go back up.
