When ordering custom colored outdoor furniture from Hongyi Outdoor Furniture Factory, clients often wonder about production timelines. The standard lead time for custom color orders typically ranges between 4-6 weeks from order confirmation to shipment. This timeframe accounts for several crucial stages in the manufacturing process.

The initial phase involves color matching and sample approval, which usually requires 5-7 business days. Our technical team works meticulously to replicate your specified color using premium outdoor-grade paints and powders. During this stage, we provide digital color proofs for your review before proceeding to physical sample production.

Manufacturing operations commence after sample approval, taking approximately 2-3 weeks depending on order complexity and current production schedule. This includes frame fabrication, surface preparation, and the specialized painting process using weather-resistant coatings specifically formulated for outdoor conditions.

Final quality control inspections and packaging require an additional 3-5 business days. It's important to note that lead times may extend during peak seasons (March-August) or for highly complex color specifications. We recommend discussing timeline expectations with our sales representatives who can provide real-time production schedule updates and expedited options when available.

Factors that might influence lead times include order quantity, color complexity, and material availability. For urgent requirements, we offer priority production slots subject to factory capacity. Maintaining open communication throughout the process ensures we meet your project deadlines while delivering the quality standards Hongyi Outdoor Furniture Factory is known for.
