Why Ordering Your Custom Summer Gear Early Makes All the Difference

Whether it’s Bean Bags, Squabs, director chairs, etc. Custom-made outdoor products are an investment in comfort, style, and durability. For many customers, the busiest season for ordering is just before/during summer, but by that stage, lead times are longer, popular fabrics may have sold out, and deadlines become tight. The smartest customers order well in advance, and here’s why that pays off.

1. More Attention to Detail

When an order is placed early, the production team can dedicate more time to perfecting every stitch, seam, and finish. This ensures the highest level of craftsmanship without the pressure of peak-season deadlines.

For example, ordering your custom-made outdoor Bean Bags ahead of time allows for additional fabric sampling, custom piping, and precise measurements, so you receive exactly what you envisioned.

2. Greater Fabric Choice

The closer it gets to summer, the more limited the range becomes. Popular outdoor fabrics such as Sunbrella and Planosol often sell out in certain colours and patterns by the time the warm weather arrives.

Ordering early gives customers first access to the full spectrum of shades, textures, and designs, ideal for coordinating with existing outdoor furniture or creating a bold new look.

3. Stress-Free Delivery

Peak season production can lead to extended lead times. By ordering early, you avoid the risk of missing important dates, whether it’s the first BBQ of the season, a Christmas gathering, or a summer holiday at the bach.

An early order means your products are ready and waiting when you are, no last-minute rush, no compromises.

When Should You Order?

As a general rule, placing an order at least two to three months before you need the product ensures:

  • Maximum fabric choice

  • Ample production time

  • Guaranteed delivery before your desired date

Just keep in mind that getting in ahead of the rush means you’ll have the widest fabric selection and plenty of time to create exactly what you want.
