Hello,
If you are making them yourself, add into the top to the centre a rebar so you can spike it into the lawn. Hope that helps in some way. Happy Christmas!
If there's an opening, pour some small stones or sand inside.
How about spikes for a tent you could buy them at a camping store
Yes, wire them to camping stakes.
