If you are hoping to score an amazing pre-season sale on patio furniture this year then you needed to start looking yesterday. The Toronto Spring Cottage Life Show kicks off March 21 & runs until Sunday, March 24 signifying that start of peak patio season! If you have free time & have the patio on your mind I highly recommend checking it out & hunting down some special event deals that vendors usually have! Once they head back to their retail stores after this weekend, you'll likely see a hike in prices until mid-summer!
This is also one of your last chances to order patio furniture for a May long weekend delivery! Ensuring that you have your patio furniture for the beginning of the summer season! The May long weekend is the busiest weekend for patio stores as it is usually the first weekend of deliveries & the first weekend people start thinking about their backyard. So, we are popping in with our patio furniture knowledge to help you get ahead of the rush!
Our Patio Shopping Tips:
ALWAYS buy Sunbrella fabric - no questions asked
CRP Plastics is a Canadian company that makes gorgeous composite furniture that is literally set & forget
If you purchase metal furniture know it won't last forever - the less screws = the less likely it is to rust fast
Buy the more expensive umbrella & ALWAYS put it down when you're not using it
Don't skimp on covers. You just spent good money on this furniture, cover it!
Sunbrella Cleaning Tip:
Pop off your Sunbrella covers & hand wash them with dawn dish soap, lay flat to dry!
Happy Shopping!
