Luckily, there are a few tried-and-true ways to tackle this problem.
Learn how to secure cushions to outdoor furniture, plus the benefits of each approach.
It is best to place them in a dry, covered area that is conveniently located.
This could be in an enclosed patio, porch, garden shed, or garage.
Peel and stick one side to the bottom of the seat cushion and the opposite side to your chair.
Before committing to this method across your entire patio, try one or two on breezy days.
If this tactic works well over the course of a week, it will likely work for additional furniture.
These knots can easily be undone when you are ready to store or wash your items.
If All Else Fails, Use Zip Ties
Not handy with a needle and thread?
Fastening the zip ties to the back of your patio chairs is also an option.
Zip ties solve the wind problem, but still leave your furniture fully exposed to the elements.
Invest in a stain-resistant, water-repellant spray to protect your outdoor fabrics.
Rain and extended sun exposure can fade colors and damage the stuffing.
Consider fabric colors and materials that will show the least sign of wear and tear.
