    I'm not sure if I have this in the right forum but anyway....... :'(
    I am re-purposing a bunch of old deck planks to use as a border for my garden beds. My question is what could I use as an attachment to stake the planks in a sturdy position ? :?:

    without seeing a photo of your planks... I'm guessing you could use some long nails/spikes... or re-bar... or even tent stakes.

    Rebar is cheap and comes in variety of lengths at home depot. It will out last the wood.
