FINANCING MADE EASY
FIRE PIT GAS CONVERSION
Leon’s has a variety of financing options, including no interest, no payment plans (*O.A.C.). And you can also apply for a Two-In-One Leon’s Visa Desjardins card today. Go to leons.ca/financing to find out more.
WHY BUY PAT I O FRO M All of our patio furniture you see on these pages have aluminum frames. What does that mean? The pieces are lightweight, making them easier to move than your typical outdoor chairs and tables. Plus, aluminum frames are rust-resistant, durable and long lasting. The better you take care of it (storing it in the winter, of course) the longer it will last.
IT’S NOT JUST BECAUSE OF OUR GREAT-LOOKING FURNITURE (although that’s a big part of it)
Don’t worry about running out of propane. All of our fire pits convert from propane to natural gas supply easily, and the conversion valve is included. But remember, have a qualified natural gas or service company install it properly and safely.
WEAR-RESISTANT FABRIC
TEMPERED GLASS NO-HASSLE DELIVERY There’s no grabbing a cart from the parking lot, finding the patio aisle, and loading your cart with boxes of patio furniture. Just order it – and we’ll deliver it! Leon’s offers free local delivery with minimum purchase from most locations. For more info, go to leons.ca/delivery.
INSIDER SHOPPING TIP
All tables have tempered glass tops, which are treated to be stronger, safer and much more durable than regular glass.
Looking for a deal for your patio? Pop by your local Leon’s or visit leons.ca to find out about our latest sale. Plus, get the inside scoop first on our sale announcements on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @leonsfurniture.
The pillows and cushions are all made with UV/fade-resistant fabric, and are mould-, mildew- and water-resistant. And it’s easy to take care of – it just takes a bit of vacuuming or light brushing to remove any dirt or grime.
