Reusing Old Doors

I Have had these old doors in the wood pile for too many years. Finally slapped on some outdoor paint attached repainted plastic plantar boxes and added flowers. Bungied them to the fence and here they are.

I have been collecting old doors to create afence along the back of our property, but our zoning officer had denied ourfence permit. So, I'd like to use the doors in some other way, perhapsfreestanding like your privacy screen. How did you make them stand and besturdy? How are they anchored into the ground? Thank you for the inspiration!
