Garden sheds often go on sale at certain times of the year, and their availability can change with the seasons. Maximising utility also means buying one when you’ll use it the most. Timing your purchase can save you money, find more options available, and make the most out of its use. So, when is the best time to make an investment in this particular garden building?
Should You Buy a Shed in the Spring?
Spring can be a great time to think about getting a new shed. With the weather getting better, it’s more convenient to carry out outdoor projects like installing garden storage. Stores usually bring in new stock around this time, so you’ll have more options to choose from. Plus, you might find better deals because summer often marks the peak shed season.
Shed shopping in spring also means you stand a better chance of avoiding the summer rush. You can also get your custom-made unit delivered and set up before summer hits, saving you from long waiting times. And having your shed ready in spring means you can enjoy it throughout the warmer months, including the summer itself.
Should You Buy a Shed in the Autumn?
Autumn has its perks, too, with the main one being all the discounts! Many shed manufacturers and retailers end their peak season in the autumn. This means more clearance prices and higher discounts for customers during this season, especially when Black Friday arrives.
Homeowners can have their outdoor storage units installed and ready for use before the harsher winter weather. This can give them peace of mind knowing their outdoor items, like garden furniture and BBQs, are protected from the elements. With garden maintenance tasks winding down in the fall, they can focus on organising tools and equipment for the upcoming seasons.
For sellers, shopping sheds in the autumn can mean maximising sales, clearing inventory, and making room for newer models.
Should You Buy a Shed in Summer or Winter?
Summer and winter might not be the best times to buy a shed for different reasons. In the summertime, long wait times can affect the entire industry as the providers work to keep up with peak demand, and homeowners might become frustrated if it takes several weeks for their shed to be delivered. Organising and decluttering outdoors could be put on hold until the shed is installed. This, in turn, could limit their enjoyment of the warmer months.
Similarly, winter presents its own set of challenges. For one, installing a shed structure in cold weather can be a real struggle. Not only is it uncomfortable due to colder temperatures, but items you wish to protect from frost may remain vulnerable if the shed isn’t in place yet.
These factors make both seasons less than ideal times for purchasing a shed.
