Whether you're relaxing with a book, barbecuing with friends, or even taking meetings from your deck or patio, many people are eager to spend as much time outdoors during the summer as possible. But if spending all that additional time outside has you rethinking your patio's decor, we have good news: Thanks to a host of early Prime Day deals from Amazon, you can give your deck a refresh now without straying too far from your budget.
In case you missed the news last week, Amazon finally revealed the dates for its annual two-day sale. This year, make sure to bookmark July 12 and 13 for Prime Day. But just like in years past, you don't have to wait until Prime Day to save. Amazon always drops prices on thousands of deals well in advance—and many of them are already live, including hundreds of deals for your patio and deck.
You're welcome to browse the full sale on your own, but we thought we'd save you time by sharing 15 of our favorite deals. After all, the sooner your pieces arrive, the sooner you can start enjoying them. We looked through best-seller lists, scoured home and garden categories, and searched through hidden sections on Amazon to share products you won't want to miss while you're updating your outdoor space, like this best-selling patio umbrella with 2,500 five-star ratings.
"It was easy to assemble and it fit right into our picnic table," one five-star reviewer wrote of the umbrella. They confirmed that the crank is easy to use and that the umbrella even tilts on its own once it's fully opened. "I highly recommend this umbrella," they added.
Of course, a blossoming garden helps to add color to your patio and give you the chance to grow your own produce at home. Gardens can really make your backyard or deck feel complete, so we couldn't resist sharing a few gardening finds like this Rubbermaid storage shed and this raised planter box. This tiered plant stand is particularly worth highlighting because it has more than 3,100 five-star ratings and hundreds of positive reviews—and it's on sale for only $25.
"This plant stand was exactly what I needed," wrote a shopper who said setting up the stand was "a breeze." They continued, "My plants have a happy home now and are no longer scattered all over my room!"
With prices starting at just $10, we don't expect these sales on patio furniture, deck decor, and gardening must-haves to last—especially because many products tend to sell out before Prime Day even arrives. So shop while you can, and give your patio a final spruce you can enjoy now that summer is officially here.
In order to fully enjoy your deck or patio, seating is essential, and there are plenty of on-sale options to shop during the lead up to Prime Day. We found a customer-favorite woven furniture set that's on sale for just $50 apiece, and a streamlined, modern conversation set that's on sale for $150. Plus, you can outfit your deck with Adirondack chairs, rocking chairs, and even one of Amazon's best-selling zero gravity chairs for optimum comfort.
With a few easy tweaks, like swapping out your outdoor pillow covers, you can quickly transform your deck into a welcoming space you can't wait to enjoy by yourself or with loved ones. This under-$75 umbrella and these $33 outdoor curtains can help to combat the heat, and you can add color and keep dirt at bay with this Unique Loom outdoor rug that's more than 60 percent off right now. Don't forget to scoop up a set of string lights to create a warm ambiance for long summer nights spent outside.
It wouldn't be summer without a garden filled with blooming flowers and rapidly growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Look to this $25 plant stand to create visual interest while giving you plenty of space to keep plants, opt for a set of marble planters for a cool look, or keep things classic with a lattice planter. We're also eying this raised vegetable garden with almost 3,000 five-star ratings, which you can add to your space for $96. And you can even snag a Rubbermaid storage container to stow away all of your gardening supplies while it's on sale for $230.
