nails to the side of it, or what i did, i attached it on the top of my ramp, to the platform, so if you stand on the edge of platform/ramp you have a small woodstrip nailed into the platform that holds the fence and the turf into place....

so its layered, top down, small wood plank, fence, turf, and then all that hammered into the top of my platform with nails, the nails smashed into the wood so they don't stick out and scratch the skis

i just let it lay ontop because i find there is a lot of grass that gets stuck in it and slows me down. so by just laying it ontop, it lets me take it off to clean the grass off

Just use roofing screws(the short ones) to nail it down at the top. That way you won't have to worry about keeping it tight.

try laying it down ontop of the turf and if you dont find you like it then staple it. both ways work, its just personal preferences

if theres wood under the turff i would use screws not staples, you can counter sink the screw heads into the wood where as the staples are above the wood.
