Reading your favorite author in a quiet nook or dining outdoors with family and friends, Spring and Summer days are outdoor living days. These are the best seasons to enjoy your outdoor living spaces. But the best time to buy your outdoor patio furniture and accessories is a little before Summer actually arrives and right after it.

Another thing to watch out for is patio furniture sales, which typically occur from late Summer to Fall. However, there is one downside – the more you wait, the slimmer the selection.

Factors to consider before buying outdoor furniture

Here are three important things to keep in mind before you buy outdoor furniture.

The Furniture

If you already have something on your list, don’t wait for a sale to buy. The choicest pieces always sell out quickly. If you can find out how much inventory a store is left with, of that prized item, it will give you an idea of whether that item will soon be off the shelves. If you're buying online, you may be able to sign up for product alerts when an item is in low stock. But the safest option still is to buy when you want.

The Weather

If the warm weather is stretching into fall, and still enjoyable, people are likely to still pay full price for outdoor furniture. This may lead the stores to hold off on sales until the weather gets colder. In this case, you may want to buy the item rather than wait, in which case the item may get sold out.

The Sales

Many stores have sales on the same holidays or days every year. For example –

New Year's Day

Independence Day

Black Friday

Cyber Monday

If you want to buy from a particular store, subscribe to their newsletters so that you know about their sales, and get early access.

How to make your outdoor furniture last?

To make the most of the best outdoor furniture, protect it from the elements and maintain it well.

Clean it

Clean your patio furniture every month. You could dust it with a soft-bristle broom. Alternatively, wipe it down with a damp rag. If you see animal droppings, sap or stains, clean the piece of furniture immediately. Check the manufacturer’s instructions on how to clean your outdoor furniture and accessories or clean it based on material type.

Outdoor furniture covers

It is a good idea to cover the outdoor furniture with covers when it is not being used. Outdoor furniture covers will help to keep your furniture as good as new, and you wouldn’t have to worry about replacing it soon.

In mild climates, your furniture may be safe with a lightweight outdoor furniture cover. In places where it rains or snows heavily, or gets intense sunlight, it would be better to invest in a heavier duty cover.
