How can I secure the deck umbrella so it doesn't keep blowing over?

Asked by jca (36062points) May 25th, 2015

I have a big umbrella on the deck, and it’s in a metal stand. It’s the kind of umbrella and stand that would normally be in the middle of a patio table (“outdoor table”), coming through the hole in the middle of the table, secured by the table. In the case of the one I have, I don’t have it in a hole in a table, I have it freestanding next to the chaise lounge. When there’s a breeze (which is daily), the whole thing blows over.

How can I secure this umbrella so it doesn’t keep blowing over and interrupting my peaceful deck time?
