Plan Your Visit For A More Personalized Outdoor Patio Furniture Experience

There’s no need to call ahead or book an appointment. However, we recommend setting aside about an hour to explore all the possibilities for your outdoor living spaces.

Our staff will be ready to help you find exactly what you need, whether you’re looking to outfit a cozy balcony or a sprawling patio. You can also make the showroom experience easier and faster by pre-shopping our online store. It’s always a good idea to visit with some starter ideas.

Preparing to Shop: Simple Steps For Successful Patio Furniture Shopping

It’s time to think about your outdoor space design. Be sure you have a few things in mind to make the most of your shopping experience. For example, knowing the size and layout of your outdoor space ensures your selections fit perfectly. Also, consider your lifestyle and outdoor living habits. Thinking about these questions in advance prepares you to find the ideal furniture to suit your needs.

Ask Yourself

How do you plan to use the space?

Whether it’s for dining, lounging, or entertaining, you’ll want to understand the primary purpose of your outdoor space to guide furniture selections.

How many people will regularly enjoy it?

This ensures you get enough seating and the right table size.

Any special considerations?

Think about the ages and needs of those using the space. Whether it’s seniors, toddlers, or guests with limited mobility, we have options to accommodate everyone.

The Foundation of Your Outdoor Living Space: Start with the Table

A table is often the centerpiece of an outdoor space, and By the Yard offers a wide range of styles that blend style with function. From hosting dinners to serving as the perfect spot for games or relaxing with a drink, the right table brings people together.

Our experts can help you choose the perfect table by considering how you’ll use it, how many people it needs to accommodate, and important factors like sun direction and available shade. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Selecting Outdoor Seating: Comfort Meets Style

Your seating choices are just as important as your table. Do you prefer chairs with motion like flex-rockers or swivel chairs, or perhaps a more traditional, stationary option? At By the Yard, we offer a variety of seating styles and heights, from high-back chairs to loungers, designed to provide comfort and support for everyone. Mixing and matching different chair styles can add visual interest and function to your outdoor space, and our staff will help you find the perfect combination for your lifestyle.

Often Overlooked Accessories Are Essential for Functionality

It’s fun to focus on the major furniture pieces, but don’t underestimate the way accessories bring an outdoor space to life and make it great. Items like umbrellas, serving tables, portable carts, and other versatile pieces aren’t just nice to have — they enhance the flow of your space and make entertaining easier. Accessory pieces build upon the foundation of your outdoor setup, improving its functionality and convenience, ensuring your space works exactly how you imagined it would for you and your guests.
