How about nails for rain gutters? Typically about 8" long, aluminum or lightweight steel. Should be available at any hardware store.
Yeah, those and/or landscape spikes. That's basically what the "nail" style commercially available tent stakes are, with a plastic clip on the end. I can't remember the exact dimensions of my dining fly, but it's pretty big. We can easily fit three campground picnic tables under it. And I like to get things tight. Kind of have my heart set on valves, but maybe someone will come up with something else I haven't heard of before. Thanks!
