August and September are the best months to buy outdoor patio furniture, because retailers discount current-season inventory by 20–70% to clear floor space for fall and holiday merchandise.
Outdoor patio furniture pricing follows a predictable retail cycle. Peak prices run from March through June, when demand is highest and inventory is freshest. By late July, clearance markdowns begin, and August through September consistently offers the deepest discounts — often 30–50% off at major retailers and on Amazon. January and February are a secondary window, when off-season demand is lowest and remaining stock gets additional markdowns to avoid warehouse carrying costs through spring restocking.
