If you are buying a patio set from Walmart, invest in a double set of cheap locks.

I don't know about you all, but it seems like every patio set I have bought ends up stolen within the first year. Now, I know the obvious response is to buy more expensive patio furniture, invest in a double set of locks, and to chain patio furniture to your deck. None of that has worked for me. <br><br>What has worked is to buy a set of patio furniture, take that patio furniture to a friend's house, then use that friend's house to buy a second patio furniture set, lock both sets together at your house, then link both sets of instructions. Around $30 gets you a $1,000 patio set.
