It’s time to think about new garden furniture but money isn’t exactly flowing at the moment, is it? Don’t panic; we’ve got five tips to help you get the garden furniture you want without sacrificing the excellent quality you need.

In this blog we cover the following five topics for buying the best value garden furniture:

1. Decide what kind of garden furniture you need.

2. Believe that good quality garden furniture offers the best value.

3. Shop off-season for your garden furniture.

4. Find good value at sale time.

5. Visit JB Furniture for deals and great advice.

1. Decide what kind of garden furniture you need

Before you do any serious searching for garden furniture (and possibly make a ‘too-hasty’ purchase), spend some time deciding what’s going to work for you. Then you’ll be a bit more focused on getting what you want within your budget.

When a customer asks for our help in choosing garden furniture, we need to know two things: how do they plan to use their garden, and how big is their outdoor space? Knowing whether you want to simply chill or have meals outside, tells us what kind of furniture you need: dining, relaxing or maybe a combination of both. Then, the size of the garden indicates how much room you’ve got to play with, and whether multi-purpose furniture would be a good solution in a small space.

Maybe you don’t have the room or energy for formal outdoor dining, in which case you’d get more use out of a sofa-set with an adjustable height table. If shading your garden is a priority, a parasol is a must. The least expensive option is the table parasol which can be positioned over or alongside a dining area, or moved to anywhere else in your garden.

There’s so much to choose from in terms of styles, shapes and sizes of garden furniture and accessories. We know it can be a bit bewildering, so having a general idea of what you are looking for will make your search so much more successful and enjoyable.

2. Good quality garden furniture offers the best value

Good quality garden furniture will last longer and save you money in the long run. The trick is to invest in good design with carefully sourced materials for your key pieces. Remember, a classic style dining or seating set won’t go out of fashion, and you can always catch a trend with your accessories.

The furniture brands that we sell, such as Bramblecrest, 4 Seasons Outdoor, Maze and Pacific Lifestyle, all offer guarantees on their furniture - some as many as 10 years. If you also take care of your garden furniture, your investment will last you several seasons.

3. Shop off-season for your garden furniture

Searching early in the year for garden furniture, before the usual price rises, means you will find excellent bargains on good quality outdoor dining and seating sets. There’s no such thing as ‘off trend’ in garden furniture because year-on-year changes are subtle. So, searching for ‘discount garden furniture’ will often take you to some big ticket items on promotion.

4. Find good value at sale time

Garden furniture sale time is always worth your attention. However, the successful sales shopper knows exactly what they’re looking for, meaning they don’t get carried away and ‘impulse buy’. Sales are for saving money after all! So, have your garden furniture ‘shopping list’ at the ready and don’t be led astray by something that doesn’t fit your plan.

JB Furniture sales always offer excellent value on different styles and sizes of high-quality luxury garden furniture. For example, you can currently save as much as 50% on a small corner sofa as well as six seater dining sets. You’ll find high-quality materials such as oak, aluminium, teak and rattan, with a variety of comfortable, weatherproof seating and scatter cushions. This really is the best of both worlds: high-quality modern and traditional furniture at very attractive prices.
