"To secure garden furniture overnight or before storms, consider these options:
1. **Furniture Covers**: Use waterproof, durable covers designed for your furniture type.
2. **Tie-Down Straps**: Use strong straps or bungee cords to anchor lightweight furniture to heavy items or the ground.
3. **Storage Bags**: Invest in storage bags or containers for cushions and smaller items.
4. **Weighting Down**: Add weights, such as sandbags, on the corners of lightweight furniture.
5. **Fencing or Anchoring**: If possible, use a fence or anchor points to secure larger pieces.
These methods will help protect your furniture from damage."
