Use longer pegs or anchor posts, or drive pegs in at opposing angles (cross-pegging) to create additional resistance against movement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"2,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">\u2022 Hard, Compact, or Rocky Soil:<\/b> Pre-drilled pilot holes along the base edge of the panels allow you to place the stainless steel pegs at intervals.
