Places to Buy Patio Furniture

Unless you happen to be fortunate enough to live in an area where moderate temperatures are the norm, most patio furniture is sold seasonally in garden supply stores, membership warehouses, and big box stores in late winter or early spring. Other outlet options are online retailers and specialty stores that sell patio and outdoor furniture year-round. Many independent brick-and-mortar stores showcase higher-end patio furniture produced by a variety of manufacturers.

    Seasonal Patio Furniture Sales

    • Large retailers offer seasonal items limited to a few manufacturers and styles.

      At the end of each winter and into early spring, home and garden centers, big box stores, hardware stores, and membership warehouses sell limited lines of patio furniture. Home Depot, Lowe's, Sam's Club, Costco, K-Mart, Walmart, Target, and Ace Hardware offer seasonally available patio furniture. Discount retailers such as Big Lots, and department stores Sears, J.C. Penney, and Boscov's sell seasonal patio furniture as well. The amount and selection carried at these stores typically depends on store display space. The trick to purchasing your items from a seasonal retailer is to purchase at the beginning of the season when most items are available. If you plan to add to your outdoor furniture, it is best to purchase items within the same season, since many of these items are not repeated the next year.
