Q. I want to buy patio furniture but I don't necessarily need it right away. I want to get the best deal. when do stores usually put these on sale?
A. You know how holiday decorations go on sale right after the holiday?
Same with seasonal items like patio furniture.
Best to buy it at the end of the outdoor season, which varies depending on where you live.
Also, moving sales---Many people relocate at the end of the school year and cut back on moving costs by selling lots of nice things at bargain prices.
If you haven't, check to see if your community has a "Freecycle" Yahoo group.
These are places where folks give away items to other folks who want them...you'd be amazed...
We've bought many items from an online company with $2.95 shipping no matter the size or weight of the item.
Recently bought a wonderful couch for around $500. that retailed for $1,500 and it was delivered in less than two weeks for under $3.00 shipping.
Google in Overstock to find the best kept secret in shopping...
Hope it's not unlawful to tell you this here?
We certainly don't work for the company and they haven't gone public with stock options yet~.
Remember to have a great summer no matter what's on the patio.
After all, you'll be the best reason to be there anyway, right? You betcha!

How do I restore rusted iron patio furniture?
Q. My mom has this great iron patio furniture that has, over the years, rusted and I'm interested in fixing them up for her. I'd like to be able to do it as a mom/daughter project. Any ideas?
A. Unless you are unusually thorough, sanding or rubbing with steel wool will not remove all of the rust. If you do not remove all of the rust it will likely come back fairly quickly.
As others have pointed out, the absolute best way to remove the rust is by sand-blasting or bead-blasting but this is not a DIY project.
If you want to DIY, I would recommend you brush the furniture with a wire brush, apply naval jelly and wash off, dry thoroughly, lightly sand and immediately apply a rust inhibiting primer and coats of paint.
If you want the best result possible, find a shop that does powder-coating. They will generally blast off the rust and apply a baked on durable finish in an assortment of colors, generally for a reasonable price. We had this done to a set of old furniture and the results far exceeded our expectations
