But the stuff I used had flanges under the brick too, which I liked. Slipped it under and spiked after setting all.
Even that, when it gets warped in the sun and goes through some heating/cooling cycles can have problems. Plastic just isn't permanent enough for me. Metal will eventually rust but it takes a loooong time.
