I found the women's Bobby pins too flimsy, the fencing staples too expensive. Also tried cutting heavy stiff aluminum wire into about 8 inch lengths and bending it into a U - works but way too much work. Finally, I bought a box of 6 inch 60D nails. Stick the head in the claws of a claw hammer and bend against the basement floor, then drive in the ground. It's easy, it's cheap, it works. Merv
