I used 1 1/2" wood BOLTS and they hold the PVC down sturdy.

Flip it over, and screw a few short screws into it. Nothing too long, just long enough to hold it in place.

Heres what I did:

1. Use a bigger bit and drill through one side of the pipe. Make sure it is big enough for a screw to fit in.
2. Use a smaller bit and drill through the other side. You are now ready to drill the screw in.
3. Repeat this process as many times as you want in order to make sure that it's sturdy. I like to do a few on either end and maybe 1 in the middle.

Put the pipes on the ground, then put the wood on top of those. hold the pipes in place with your feet and just drill through.
