“Rooftop Deck Furnishing Recs”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I have a rooftop deck furniture question. I’m specifically interested in ideas for low-maintenance furniture that won’t blow away in a storm. My condo building is small (18 units, no doorman, offsite building mgr) and finally going to build a rooftop deck. I think we are unlikely to get volunteers to bring things in or fasten them down every time there is a storm. So I’m wondering if we can we get furniture that is heavy enough not to have to worry about it, or some way of fastening them permanently (which is less desirable for chairs around a table). Any creative suggestions from your readers would be much appreciated!”
