The answer
Check condition, stability, fasteners, surfaces, placement, and exposure-related deterioration using appropriate guidance. Remove damaged items from service until assessed or repaired. Outdoor equipment can change condition faster than indoor items, and photographs may become outdated.
Include cleaning, storage, and seasonal servicing in the plan. Verification should occur often enough for actual conditions rather than only at purchase.
This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
