It’s never too early to start thinking about transforming your garden in time for the sunshine. With so much to take into account, from quality to cost to durability to design, knowing when to buy your garden furniture is essential and requires a lot of research and forward-planning, especially as the most in-demand styles often sell out early on in the season. So, when is the best time to buy garden furniture?
Francesca Hadland, Styling Expert for British furniture-makers Bridgman offers her thoughts on the best time to make this all-important purchase.
“As a general rule, you should buy your outdoor furniture around February to March. By shopping before garden season begins in the spring, you’ll have the most choice thanks to high stock availability – by buying out of season, you’re guaranteed to get the pieces you want before someone else does. Don’t let the rain dictate when you shop, with the right covers and storage, you won’t have to worry about keeping your furniture protected from the elements.”

Endless Design Possibilities
“Rattan is firmly back on the design scene with sun loungers, modular sofas and dining sets all beautifully crafted in this versatile style. For more modern homes, rope furniture offers an updated take on classic woven designs. A neutral colour palette of beige, grey and soft charcoal is another great choice for contemporary gardens.”
Planning Ahead
Bridgman is giving customers who shop their garden furniture now the option to store their furniture free of charge until they are ready for it in the spring; perfect for those planning a garden transformation or garden party when the weather warms up.
