[Market-farming] Keeping Agribon in Place

It doesn't work well in Kansas.  The wind blows from the north one day at 30 mph with gusts and blows from the North the next day with the same force.  We make "U" shape pins made from #10 wire to pin down our 15' Remay.  The #10 wire is purchased from a wholesale chain link fence supplier - it is the bottom reinforcement wire of the fence.  The sides of the Remay has to be folded over it's self - so that there is a double thickness, with a pin placed about every 4'.  1/2" Re-bar also works well.

  Does this work when it is extremely windy? We have a lot of wind here. 
  Thank you all for all your help.
