Covering your patio furniture - how do you do it?

Last year, we got covers that were made for our furniture and they kind of sucked. We decided to just go with a tarp this year.

We stacked our chaise lounges on top of our table so that the water & snow will slide down and not get hung up in any pockets of fabric. I was just going to cover it and find some way to tie the bottom so it doesn't come off.

If you use a large cover, do you tuck it under the legs of the chairs/table? Just leave them exposed on the bottom? Weigh the ends down with bricks or whatnot?

Thanks

We used blue tarp and stacked everything

We used rope and tied it around the tarp, it wasn't tucked under the legs, but we have an overhang in part of the backyard so no snow gets under there and thats where we keep the patio stuff.

We use a trap with bricks to hold it down.
