Hi Dan, Gil, and Jay,

Okay, you guys have convinced me to attempt to try a wire spider. I'll have to think about how to do it.

Yes, I think this is what I'll do, thank you.

Duct tape. You can hold down astroturf, rugs, tarps, etc. Works on wires, too. The rug not only helps against dust, it blocks some of the heat radiating from the ground.
