Patio Mat Anchors?

I am looking for suggestions on what to use to hold down my patio mat, and keep it from blowing, when placed on a concrete pad.

I was thinking of using 1 gallon water jugs in each corner but wondered if anyone had a better idea given that stakes can't be used on the concrete.

    Hmmm, the OP was asking about keeping the mat on concrete. Don't think that's a good option.


    Sure it is. I forgot to mention the hammer drill. ;)
