In this blog, we have created a season-wise guide that will help you to determine the best time to buy your outdoor furniture and the pros and cons of buying from the different seasons. From the best deals to getting your hands on the latest furniture stock- these tips will make sure that you’re able to make the right buying decision. Let’s get started. 

Best Season to Buy Outdoor Patio Furniture

Fall season

As the leaves start to fall off and your backyard is full of crisp rustic leaves, it is a telltale sign  that your patio is ready to welcome you to sit outdoors and unwind your day. The weather is just right. Neither hot nor freezing cold. Luckily, this is also the best time for you if you decide to give your outdoors a makeover. The fall season is known for some amazing shopping deals. Especially when it comes to the furniture department, all manufacturers welcome various new trends right before the winters begin. Manufacturers also offload a lot of furniture stock during this time so you will get some amazing deals during this season. We would suggest you start shopping as soon as the fall begins because later you might not be able to find a lot of options as people would’ve already gone ham on the crazy prices!

Winter season

Early winters are the best time to go for some furniture shopping. Ideally, most people wouldn’t buy outdoor furniture during peak winters due to obvious reasons. Hence, it is best to head out to your favorite furniture store and check out what they have got to offer at a discounted price. 

Pro tip: If you face harsh winters then you will also need to figure out a place where you will store the furniture until springtime. 

Spring season

If you are thinking of buying outdoor furniture during spring, early spring is the right time to browse some options. The weather will be perfect for outdoor seating and also the prices won’t be as high as mid-fall or end of winters. Also, you can start using your furniture immediately rather than having to wait for the ideal weather conditions. One more reason to go furniture shopping during the spring season is that a lot of brick-and-mortar stores, as well as online stores, hold sales during this period. If you decide to shop during Spring, make sure to do this before May. this way you’ll avoid crowds and get your hands on the best stuff before it is gone. 

Summer season

We hate to break it to you but summers are the worst time to shop for outdoor furniture. Don’t get us wrong, if you had an impromptu idea to give your backyard a makeover because the sky is nice and bright- you can still go furniture shopping. But if you are a savvy shopper and like to save, the bad news is that the furniture prices would be skyrocketing during the summer season. Since the weather is nice and everybody would be spending maximum time outdoors, the demand for outdoor furniture will be high. So we suggest it is better if you pre-plan a little. 

Which is the best time to buy outdoor furniture?

Now that you know the pros and cons of each season, our say is that the early spring season and the fall season is the best time to buy outdoor furniture. Not just from the price perspective but buying furniture during spring will also allow you to start decorating your patio right away! When you buy it during summer, you will have to be extra cautious about the weather as direct sunlight can cause major harm to your fresh outdoor furniture. On the other hand, buying patio furniture during winter means you have to keep it away until the weather is ideal enough for you to enjoy your outdoors. 

Few tips to keep in mind

Apart from the ideal weather to shop for modern outdoor furniture, there are a couple of other things you need to consider. 

Budget: make sure you are clear on how much you want to spend to avoid going overboard with your budget

Purpose: how do you intend to use your patio? Will it be to host parties? Have a family dinner or just spend time on your own? Depending on your use, you can figure out the ideal furniture pieces for maximum functionality.

Staples: make sure you are done with the staple furniture pieces first before making any extra expenses. Go for swivel chairs, a fire pit table, some cushions to throw around, and a coffee table or a proper dining table with chairs. 

Apart from these tips, it is important to check out the warranty and material care of the furniture before you make the final purchase decision. One more tip to make sure that your furniture lasts for years to come is by cleaning it the right way.
