We get a very strong west wind that will cause the drapes to knock over the patio furniture and blow straight into the porch.
Best way to weigh down outdoor curtains.

I needed this before i spent way too much money on outdoor curtain rods.
I ended up sewing a length of lightweight chain into the bottom of each one.
You can hand sew a couple of stitches around the chain at either end of the hem to prevent it from sliding around if you lift the drape up.
I had a problem with my curtains flying around to.
Use as many as you need for the weight of your curtains.
Drapery weights are made to stabilize drapes but they also work with shower curtains.
Fold the hems in again another 1 pin and press again with your iron.
It is heavy enough to weigh them down but still flexible so you can gather them and tie them back.
This was a great idea.
You just open the bottom and thread chain in the bottom like you do a wast band then close the ends.
Fishing weights pennies pebbles.
Run this entire chain through the hem and cut it to size.
Press your seams flat with an iron.
