First, you need to sand the rust off the metal. Then you need to paint the bottom of the table and chairs with an outdoor paint made for metal.

Home Depot or Lowe's may haves small pieces of plastic that attach to the legs of the chairs and table for a more long term solution.

Answer 2

Glue some small rubber pads to the bottom of the legs.

Answer 3

scuff the bottom legs to etch for paint adhesion & then paint with a rust preventive paint like RustSeal.
