Now Is the best time to pre-order any rattan garden furniture that you will be needing for next year. You may be thinking ‘But it’s Christmas time, why order now?’, well, there are several reasons, and we will explain them all below.

Now that summer is over and the cold wet weather has set in. The last thing you want to be doing is worrying about your rattan garden furniture. But if you are sensible, you really can bag yourself a bargain! If you were unable to pick up a bargain at the end of season sale then it’s a great time to start looking through the internet at what is on offer. Thankfully you can do this from the warmth of your home.

Have a good shop around and see who has what ‘End of line’ offers available. Some retailers might even have old showroom stock available that they are looking to sell. There are bargains to be had so keep looking.

Its this time of year that most of the major retailers will be placing their orders with the manufacturers of rattan furniture. Most rattan furniture is made in the far east and shipped to the UK by containers. This shipping time alone can be around 6-8 weeks depending on the port of despatch.

It also means that the retailers will be doing everything they can to ensure that each container they ship is crammed with a product that is either preordered or likely to be sold immediately. Most retailers will have their list of most popular yearly items and these will be delivered first.

The retailer also has some bargaining power with the manufacturer. The more orders they can place, now, out of season, the more discount you can get which in turn means that you will probably see a lot of retailers offering winter deals on ‘Pre Ordered Rattan Furniture ‘

The other advantage of this is that you should be able to secure your favourite choice of rattan furniture with just a small deposit, usually about 10-20%, which gives you time to think about how to pay the balance when the furniture arrives. As we all know, a lot of this furniture is not cheap so buying outright can be quite a shock for some people.

It’s also important to take into account that summer in the UK is relatively short. We all wish for longer periods of sunshine and hot weather but the reality is that we have to be grateful for the weeks that we get. It’s also important to make the most of this time while we can and that means having your rattan garden furniture in place, ready to go when that first ray of sunshine appears.

If you are waiting for the summertime to buy your furniture, you may end up disappointed, either by having to wait several weeks for your favoured rattan furniture set to be available or you may have to settle for something which isn’t your first choice but ‘will do’. Either is not a good choice.

We have always said that your rattan furniture will become your main focal point for any garden. If you now have this ordered then you are in the perfect position to be able to build on this and set up your garden ready for summer.
