Sometimes it may not be possible to benefit from a seasonal sale if you need to furnish your deck or patio right away for an upcoming event. “If you can’t wait until holidays or end-of-season sales,” notes Chapman, “you can still save money by looking out for year-round specials and promotions.” One great tip that he offers is to consider ordering furniture from a company’s website and not just from its showroom. “Many online stores offer seasonal discounts throughout the year, such as an additional percentage off already reduced prices or exclusive deals for members only,” he mentions. Wayfair, Walmart, home improvement stores, and even Amazon have outdoor furniture available online and offer savings that can really add up and extend your budget. In addition, online inventory is usually much larger than what is available when shopping in person.
Lastly Chad Chapman adds, “Don’t forget about Labor Day weekend sales either — there are always plenty of bargains available then too.” Take advantage of this September sale to add a poolside chaise and bar cart to your Labor Day festivities, then enjoy the cooler weather with friends and a drink in your hand. With these tips in mind, a stylish and relaxing backyard patio is a dream that is well within reach.
