- I went the coat hanger route at first too. I spent about 2 or 3 hours cutting and bending to make around 100 of them which I thought would be plenty. I used them all up in about 20 minutes. At that p

- Out of all the ideas, all of which I tried, I still like bobby pins for the radial pin down. If you only need a few it is okay to make your own but I needed thousands and it would have taken me forev

- The sod staples are more work to get into the hard rocky ground around here and also way overkill to hold a piece of 20 or 22 guage wire down. Possibly in FL with the soil being somewhat sandy it wou

- Mike, If the bobby pins fail to go in, in some places, give the barb wire fence staples a try. The prongs are so thick and sharp you can smash them in with a hammer. I have a lot of junk below grade
