Step 1: Materials

This build is just about a simple as it gets but it is highly effective and worth taking a few minutes to bulid it. so all you will need is:
-A 2x4 or you could also use plywood but i decided to go with the 2x4 as i had a piece lying around.
-Second, you will need some long nails. I used 4 inch nails and they are great, but as long as they are 3" or longer then you will be fine (assuming you are using a 2x4) the type of nail is not important again just use what you have lying around from past projects.
-And lastly you will need a hamer of course and a few cans.

Wouldn't it be easier to just fill the cans with water?

I think the water drains too fast to get the full use out of the can, with this setup, you could put it somewhere and it will stay in its place, unlike the water filled ones which will get blown away after the water drains out from the holes.

how? the nail is much shorter than the can so there is no possibility of it going all the way through(also you hold the can by the edges), and unless you miss the nail entirely you should be just fine. If your that concerned, just use a rubber mallet and tap it onto the nail.
