When is the best time to buy patio furniture? Patio furniture typically goes on sale from August to October when stores are clearing out their summer items to make room for fall inventory. Generally, the further from summer, the higher the savings on patio furniture.
In early August, sales are approximately 20% off. But by late October, you can find savings up to 70% off! With those extra savings, you can invest in a typically expensive item (like that wicker chair and table set you’ve had your eye on) without feeling guilty about it. The only downside is an increasingly slimmer selection the deeper you get into fall.
