3 Easy Tips to Save Money On Patio Furniture

By Brandon Hopkins

High quality patio furniture can be downright expensive. Depending on the style, materials and quality you could easily pay $2,000 for a nice patio set with a patio cover, patio chairs and a patio table.

Considering this price range, most people buy cheap patio sets that will wear out within a few years. The other option is to buy that same high quality patio furniture, but at a discount by utilizing these three easy tips.

1. Buy when nobody else is buying.

Everyone wants to update their patio when spring comes. This is the perfect time because then you’re able to enjoy your patio furniture all during summer and even into the warm fall nights.

This however is absolutely the worst time to buy. Everyone wants patio furniture at this time and businesses know that. Why would they give you 50% off if the guy behind you will pay full price?

Instead, consider buying at the end of the summer season when that same business is trying to get rid of their summer supplies. This may not be ideal because the time to enjoy your new patio furniture has passed, but next year you’ll have a $2,000 patio set that you only paid $1,000 for, and it will last for many years!

2. Buy where stock is high.

If a business sells 3 patio sets per year, there is a good chance they don’t get much of a price break from the manufacturer or distributor. Somewhere like Costco that sells 30,000 or more patio sets per year probably gets a much better price than the guy who buys 3 patio sets to sell. Where do you think the savings will show up?

3. Get a good warranty.

If the business selling your patio furniture says the warranty is 30 days, or the furniture is being sold “As-Is”, turn around and walk out.

Patio furniture is notorious for fading, cracking and just falling apart. If you spend a good deal of money on your patio furniture and it falls apart, you’ll want to take it back. Odds are your 30 day warranty has already ran out.

When shopping for high quality patio furniture, keep these three easy tips in mind and save some money!
