Instead of sticks-and-twine I used metal eye-let bolts or screws that I can hammer into the ground. The yellow-and-black rope is naturally thicker and easier for this old phart to see and maybe not trip on. It makes a very durable, long-lasting set-up and works pretty well, too. If I have time on the outing I'll get a photo of it and attach it when I get back home.
