My outside furniture is really heavy iron furniture that is has holes, and my house has a little narrow area on the side and the back that is protected with high, solid fencing, so I shoved it all on the back and side of the house, laying it all down and tied it together. The low heavy iron table I tied to the deck post. Anything light I brought in.
