Fall is right around the corner, and with it comes sales of summer items. It’s like December 26 for the outdoor living industry, and retailers everywhere are looking to unload stock – which means big savings for buyers. Check out our recommendations for top fall sales for outdoor spaces and get to shopping!
Patio furniture – according to LifeHacker, October is the best time of the year to buy patio furniture, while Deal News says it’s more like September. In either case, fall is a great season to scoop up a good deal on patio furniture, with discounts ranging anywhere between 25 to 50 percent. And we’re right there with the rest of the crowd: We’re offering discounts throughout Fifthroom.com, like $300 off this treated pine pub table with four pub stools.
Mowers – If you – or a spouse – have been tinkering with the lawnmower you bought in 2005 (the same year that YouTube launched; yes, it’s been that long), do not put it off until you need it again next year. The fall is the time for great deals on all types of mowers. In fact, push mowers aren’t worth fixing after four years, and self-propelled mowers are done for after about five years, according to Consumer Reports. So if your mower is older than five years and you’re spending time and energy fixing it, now is the time to move on.
Bushes, trees and bulbs – Business Insider recommends buying those colorful bushes and bulbs you’ve been eyeing up (but forgetting every time you go to Home Depot for something else) now, while you can still get them in the ground. Another perk: by planting bulbs now, you’re ahead for your garden in spring 2016.

Grills – picture your perfect backyard design: a picnic table for casual lunches, outdoor furniture with some comfortable cushions for lounging, maybe a pergola with healthy blooms weaving in and out of the beams to create some natural shade. What’s missing? The food! And of course, the go-to meal maker in any outdoor area is a grill. In the fall, grills can be marked down as much as 50 percent, according to Kiplinger. The line in the sand here is Labor Day: after Labor Day, expect sales. But the longer you wait after that time, the less options you’ll have.
Now you know how to get the biggest bang for your buck with the top fall sales for outdoor spaces. For more outdoor design inspiration and to see everything that Fifthroom has to offer, from patio furniture to picnic tables to pergola kits, visit fifthroom.com.
