Cut a slit in tennis balls and slip over chair legs
Slice an "X" in a tennis ball and it can be easily pushed onto the chair legs. This will stop the chair sinking in soft ground.
Attach two lengths of wood (2x4) from the bottom of the front legs to to bottom of the the back legs. This will spread the weight load when sitting on the chairs.
Lay down a piece of black vinyl underneath, the stuff you would use to make A Decorative pond.
I think the tennis balls would work great. I was going to suggest bottle caps from plastic bottles of soda. We use them under camping poles. You can tape them on, renew when needed. Or try gluing, though I have never done that.
If the chairs are sinking into the dirt from weight when being sat on I would try pavers under each leg.
I used small kids croc style shoes on each chair leg when on sand. Any kind of shoes would do but these were super light to carry, did the job and my chair looked really cute!
We used empty cans one under each leg
jar lids...might rust but you can easily fine more.
rebar caps
Small frisbees
Hello Annette,
A firmer base for them to sit on would be my advice. Paving or Concrete or Decking!
2 pieces of pvc pipe,cut holes for interference fit so not to fall off when moving chair,see pics

Ray, very innovative & easy to was any dirt & grass! The tennis ball trick was a majority of the replies which would be the quickest & easiest for anyone to do & the crocs or flip flops idea was adorable! Lots of good suggestions, although I could see me tripping over the frisbees getting up from the chair!
