Default Track layout tubing - securing it?

We have some drainage tubing for track markings etc. What's the best way of securing it to the ground?

We will be making changes and extending our track and wanted to know what people recommended.

tractor tyre inner tubes cut into rings and a big nail so the tube and nail make a P with the pipe in the loop.

or just a big nail through the pipe

Will look at this, prob with the nail option you compromise the integrity of the tube structure?
