Patio Mat Anchors?

I put our chairs along the side of the mat that is up against the camper and usually put a cooler on one corner farther from the camper and my grilling table with grill on it on the other. This is for ground that is too rocky to use anchors in.

If I have a concrete pad, I sweep it with a broom and don't use the patio mat.

Personally, I agree with this last suggestion.
But if you want to have a mat out on the concrete, how about 1 gallon milk jugs? They'd be light to transport and you could fill them up at the CG.

One of our tricks we use is to stake beyond the concrete pad then use light weight rope tied to corner loops of mat and tie to stakes. Used this when we tent camped when using a tarp under mat to keep tent cleaner.

Thank you for all of the quick responses and great suggestions.

OMG! we've never staked ours and it's never moved an inch. By the time we set the chairs out + 2 small drink tables + the cooler next to the trailer, that mat isn't going anywhere. We also have a medium size dog who holds down one corner. If it's THAT windy, we most likely wouldn't be camping. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it disappearing.

I have used small rocks before. They are actually very abundant out here in the west at many CG's pick 4 and place.
