Merch drop - Table book & lawn chair
🕑 Added 2024-04-27 19:39:15 +0000 UTCAt 1:00 PM PT / 4:00 PM ET today we're releasing our The Yard Season 1 coffee table book and The Yard rocking lawn chair to our Tier 3 patrons.
Head to theyard.sale and connect with your Patreon account. Once connected, if you're a Tier 3, you'll be able to purchase the items with your 25% discount, which will be automatically applied in checkout.
Ordering both items together will give you FREE SHIPPING (US only).
If you order 2 chairs and 1 book, order the second chair separately. This will make it so you are not double charged shipping, when you should be getting free shipping for at least the 1 chair and book together.
Also, the lawn chair is not available outside of North America due to shipping costs and customs restrictions.
Why is this chair so expensive?
tl;dr
- this chair costs ~$57 to make per unit
- the shipping costs are very large for this item, so we included a majority of the average shipping cost in the price
- the retail price has to account for our tier 3 patron discount (25%) These chairs are heavy and large items compared to clothes, so costs are much higher than a normal item we might sell.
These ship from the southwest US, so on the low end domestic shipping is about $25 and the high end $60 (NY for ex.).
Given that the Patreon discount reduces the price of the good by 25% ($93.75) and a large number of units sell at that price, we need to make sure that the average shipping cost ($42-45, given more sales occur from east coast buyers) is paid for while not going negative on the majority of orders.
The reason we can make shipping entirely free if people order the book and the chair is that the book's profit margin is much larger and it is also way cheaper to ship. So by eating into the margin of the book sale, even with the discount accounted for, we can afford to make shipping free for those orders.
I wanted to explain because I think the first look at the price might make it seem like we're trying to gouge people, and we're not - we want our products to be accessible and affordable, without going negative on them. If people have more specific questions, feel free to ask me! - Aiden

Is there going to be a restock? I missed the drop for the book.
Chase Holland
Can I still get the discount on the chair? Don't see anywhere to connect on the website and I've been tier 3 since day 1
Austin Kraff
factor didn't cut it
Austin Kraff
Thank you and thanks for updating the site. Please make a more heavy duty chair for the real big boys. I think people would be willing to pay, I know I would. I'm a bit closer to a stinky 3
The Yard
265 lbs
Austin Kraff
Thanks!
Sam F
@austin idk if you got your answer but the website says 264lbs weight limit now
Paddo
I did. It doesn't say much about shipping for the book or shipping outside of NA.
Alex Lindsey
Id try reading the entire post if I were you. :)
Austin Kraff
gotta cop the book
bsquidwrd
I second this. Bought the book to make sure I didn’t miss out, but would love a chair depending on the weight limit
Austin Kraff
What's the weight limit on the chair? Some of us are a little over stinky 2...
Daniel Mikell
I'd assume they aren't, otherwise I don't see a reason for them to give tier 3 patreons early access for the books and lawn chairs.
Sam F
probably cuz they are from westcoast and the book looks thicc, aka heavy
Presley Hudson
Are books print to order?
Paddo
How is shipping to EU $50 for a book? Are the pages made from tungsten? I still bought it but damn.
WIZRAD
Ez cop
TransponderSnail
I’m trying LOL. And yep, definitely is :’)
Daniel Mikell
Thanks for the suggestion!
Daniel Mikell
Thank you!
The Yard
if youre ordering the book itll likely take a little longer than that, if you order the chair it will arrive very quickly (if US)
Daniel Mikell
I'm now realizing I could just contact whoever is delivering it to change the addres when the time comes, my bad for the dumb question.
TimHB
You’ve got more self control than I do aha! Cost of living is crazy unfortunately
TransponderSnail
I’d honestly ship it to someone’s house and not risk it
Daniel Mikell
Any idea when you will end up shipping these? I know this is hella early to ask, I just move in a month.
TransponderSnail
Understandable. Honestly, I’d do it too if I didn’t have £43 in my bank account and a car with only a 1/2 tank of fuel LOL (not okay)
TimHB
Just accepted shipping anything out of America is crazy expensive, but the 25% discount makes things sweeter
Sam F
was 43$ shipping for me in Canada
TimHB
I saw it, but just had to pay it.. couldn’t not have the book 😅 I just convince myself the pound to dollar conversion rate is why it’s expensive
Cameron
UK shipping so expensive just for a book and can’t even get the chair :( sad time
William J Anger
It’s not working for me 😭
TransponderSnail
AND $63 for shipping for the book? I’m so sad this here day. UK is cooked :’
TransponderSnail
I want the chair so badly, but I’m UK :( RIP I was so excited
Bri
