Where to shop for outdoor furniture in Ontario while spending less

Since your patio is your “treasure,” it’s only natural that you want to fill it with the best you can find. However, “the best” can cost you a lot of money. Fortunately, there are plenty of places you can shop for inexpensive outdoor furniture.

1. Yard and garage sales

Sometimes, yard and garage sales offer valuable items at fair prices. Nonetheless, you have to master the art of taking advantage of garage sales. Most of the time, garage and yard sales take place on Saturday mornings.
Start by driving through your neighborhood the night before. Be on the lookout for signs. Most importantly, always show up early in the morning. Why? Because all the best products are usually the first to go.

2. Hunt for discounts

Yes, we are advising you to become the best discount hunter. Discounts can help in lowering the prices, especially if you shop in bulk. Look for the best from both physical and online stores. Discounts usually start at 25% off. However, if you are lucky, you can even get insane deals, like 50% off.
We know you are looking for the best deals on outdoor furniture in Ontario.

3. Shop for second-hand items

Of course, you can always explore your local second-hand stores and tell them to alert you when they come across awesome furniture. Nonetheless, we advise you to spend more of your time on online sites like eBay and Craigslist.
Remember, we strongly advise you to do this when hunting for high-end furniture at affordable prices. Don’t do this for medium or low-end furniture. It’s always better to buy new ones.

4. Buy off-season

Yes, we are advising you to buy a swim-suit at the start of winter. Do this, and you might get yourself high-end outdoor furniture at insane prices. Also, you are less likely to face competition from other patio-lovers. This method works well when you are exploring “second-hand” sites and stores.

5. Buy, repair, and recover

Once again, we advise you to only do this with high-end pieces of furniture that aren’t critically damaged. On top of that, you need to be good at estimating repair costs. The repair costs should not be more than 50% of the furniture’s current market value.
In addition to that, there are plenty of fun DIY projects you can undertake that make use of the “extra wood” around your house. Repurposing is a great way to get outdoor furniture while spending less.

The 5 most crucial outdoor furniture

Below are the five most crucial pieces of outdoor furniture. With these, you’ll not have to spend more.

  1. Invest in an outdoor bench

Outdoor benches have a unique charm about them. They can gracefully decorate any patio and give it that “farmhouse” vibe. In addition to that, they offer places to sit on and relax after a long day. A sturdy bench can also work as a make-shift table for holding your gardening equipment.
Of course, the most beautiful outdoor benches are expensive. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of affordable pieces you can get for your patio.
Briefly, we’ll explain how you can choose the best outdoor bench without spending a lot of money.

Be selective with the material.

Wood is the favorite when it comes to outdoor benches. Nonetheless, you should also consider other materials like metal, resin, wicker, and plastic. We advise you to avoid plastic benches because they are prone to fading.
When it comes to wooden benches, natural cedar and teak are usually the most durable. Therefore, expensive. On the other hand, pine might be your best option. It’s just as beautiful and durable but with a lower price tag.
Metal is the other alternative. You can get a fine metallic outdoor bench at around $150.

2. Chaise lounges

Chaise lounges will drastically improve your patio experience. Unfortunately, they are also among the most costly outdoor furniture. Don’t worry. We’ll show you how you can choose the best affordable chaise lounges for your patio.
Do you want to spend less? We advise you to invest in “normal” chaise lounges that lack all the additional features like foldability. Sure, an unfoldable chaise lounge will be hard to store. Nevertheless, it will help in lowering the price tag.
What is the best fabric for outdoor chaise lounges? Polypropylene fabric.

3. Inexpensive landscape lighting

Good landscape lighting can transform your patio into a Disney experience. Fortunately, you can achieve that without draining your pockets. Below are some ideas.

Invest in DIY lighting

DIY is the easiest way to achieve a luxurious patio experience while spending less. There are plenty of DIY ideas you can borrow from the internet. The Candle-in-a-jar was our best pick.
First, find several transparent glass jars, clean them, then fill them with sand soil.
Next, place your candles on small stands and lower them into the jars.
Finally, strategically hang your candles around your patio area.
Is that too much work for you? You can use simple cheap LED string lights to achieve a beautiful silhouette lighting effect. All you have to do is hide bundles of the LED lights under your furniture.
A few other alternatives include lanterns, glow-in-the-dark paint, and solar lamps.

4. Bistro sets

Bistro sets include a patio table and two matching chairs. Not only are they gorgeous to look at, but they also offer an intimate place you can sit back and relax alone or with a special someone. They can massively help lower your patio costs by not spending a fortune on other furniture like expensive armchairs and wide tables. In addition to that, they are also compact and economical in space.

5. Sculptures and fountains

These are the little extras that can spice up your outdoor space. Also, they can help fill awkward spaces on your patio layout. No, you don’t have to go for the super expensive pieces that are museum-worthy.
Fortunately, there are plenty of adorable sculptures and fountains available in the market for less than $50. Just make sure the pieces are appealing and sync with your patio’s decor theme.
While you are it, we advise you to shop for sculptures made from relatively cheap materials like plastic, steel, and aluminum. If you have the time, you can even make some of them. There are tonnes of DIY projects that can help you decorate your outdoor space.
