Outdoor Escape - Pool & Patio Design

What Outdoor Escape - Pool & Patio Design does

Outdoor Escape Design is a privately held, founder-owned outdoor furniture retailer based in West Kelowna, British Columbia, operating exclusively in the Okanagan Valley region of Canada. The company designs, sources, and sells customizable resort-style outdoor furniture across four product categories — sofa sets, dining sets, daybeds and loungers, and fire tables — plus a range of accessories such as umbrellas, floating trays, towel racks, side tables, storage bins, and outdoor lighting. Its roughly 30-SKU catalog is built around premium imported materials including teakwood, cast concrete, powder-coat aluminum, woven rope, and high-density foam with Olefin or Sunbrella fabric, and most products are configurable by layout, color, and material.

The business runs a sales-led, direct-to-consumer go-to-market with no e-commerce checkout: customers contact the company by phone, email, or in-person at the West Kelowna showroom to consult with designers and receive quote-based pricing on customized sets. A separate dealer program serves Okanagan designers, developers, home builders, and home stagers who outfit client properties, providing a secondary trade channel. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time purchase sales of physical goods; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per order.

Founded by Erin Dos Santos in 2020 as a side gig built on prior commercial beverage importing experience, Outdoor Escape operates with a team of approximately three (founder, a sales representative, and a contracted marketing partner), has raised no external capital, holds no patents or certifications, and is not a platform or technology business. Marketing relies on Facebook, Instagram, email newsletter, home show exhibitions, and Google reviews rather than paid acquisition or proprietary digital channels.

Direct peers

• Structube: Canadian furniture retailer with a strong outdoor patio assortment at accessible-to-mid price points. Structube is the most direct Canadian competitor in the outdoor furniture retail category, though positioned more mass-market than Outdoor Escape.
• Sunset West: Premium outdoor furniture brand specializing in teak, wicker, and aluminum patio sets sold through specialty dealers and designers. Direct competitor on materials, aesthetic, and trade-channel distribution.
• Teak Warehouse: Specialty retailer of premium teak and contemporary outdoor furniture. Overlaps with Outdoor Escape's teak-and-aluminum product mix and affluent customer base, though Teak Warehouse operates e-commerce at scale.
• Yardbird: DTC premium outdoor furniture brand selling direct-to-consumer with sustainable materials. Closely comparable in target customer (affluent residential), product category (outdoor sets), and aesthetic; represents the e-commerce-native model Outdoor Escape lacks.
• Polywood: DTC outdoor furniture brand with a broad assortment of patio sets, dining, and loungers. Represents a different material platform (recycled HDPE) but competes directly for the same residential outdoor furniture buyer.
• Article: Canadian DTC furniture brand selling modern, mid-to-premium furniture direct to consumers. Article overlaps on customer demographic and design aesthetic, and represents the DTC model Outdoor Escape does not currently operate.
• RST Brands: Outdoor patio furniture brand sold through dealer and designer channels in North America. Highly comparable go-to-market — dealer program for design professionals and homebuilders — with overlapping premium outdoor product lines (sectionals, fire tables).

Broad incumbents

• Pottery Barn: National premium home furnishings retailer with a sizable outdoor furniture line. Overlaps with Outdoor Escape on aesthetic and customer, but operates at much larger scale with broad home categories beyond outdoor.
• RH (Restoration Hardware): Global luxury home furnishings brand with a large outdoor furniture collection. RH competes for the same affluent customers seeking premium, design-forward patio furniture, but operates at vastly greater scale and broader assortment across multiple categories.
