Is Fall a Good Time to Buy Patio Furniture?

Most people shop for patio furniture in May, when the weather turns and every patio suddenly looks unfinished. Fall gets overlooked, and that is exactly what makes it a good time to buy. If you have been putting off an upgrade, here is the case for doing it now.

You Shop With a Clear Head

Spring shopping is rushed. You want the furniture this weekend, so you buy what is available instead of what you actually wanted. In fall there is no deadline pressing on you. You can compare frames, sit in a few chairs, look at fabrics side by side, and take the time to plan a layout that fits your space. Browsing the brands we carry is a lot more enjoyable without a holiday cookout on the calendar.

Northern Virginia Has Plenty of Season Left

Our fall runs long and pleasant. September and October evenings on the patio are some of the best of the year, and with the right setup you can stretch that into November. Buy now and you get months of use rather than storing a purchase until spring. A comfortable outdoor seating arrangement or an outdoor dining set is just as useful for a crisp evening as it is for a July afternoon.

What to Look For While You Shop

Focus on the things that determine how long a set lasts. Ask about frame material and construction, look for cushions with quality outdoor fabric, and think about how the pieces will handle Virginia humidity and winter. Quality pieces are worth planning around, and financing options can make the timing easier. If you want more on materials, our post on patio furniture for full sun and heavy rain is a useful read.
