When I did not have a safe place to store or tie down pool furniture in high winds, I placed it in the pool for safety. That keeps the furniture from flying around and damaging itself or things around the pool.
In high wind advisory I recommend to the customers with auto pool covers to leave the pool OPEN uncovered because anything being thrown in the wind will pierce the material. Have seen umbrellas and what not in the pool after a storm.
