If you leave it out in freezing weather you won't need to bring it back in...ever. There are lots of species of ficus but I am not seeing any that are cold hardy. The ficus benjamina doesn't even like strong drafts.
You're gonna have to keep hauling it in and out. I just leave mine inside and try not to move it around a lot, it loses leaves when it's unhappy!
