I want to lay something like this product (stock photo) over a crushed gravel walkway, but none that I’ve found include any kind of anchoring pin or screw, except some cheap landscape fabric pins. I stayed at a VRBO home that had anchored these kinds of slats down an entire descending walkway using what appeared to be pre-attached spikes (@ 4”), so I know it’s possible, but I didn’t think to photograph the pins. I can’t use anything too deep as the walkway will cross near a power line. Suggestions?

Well, u/mvandenh you can go onto the websites of Home Depot and/or Lowes and do some snooping & searching. After you find the length of spike you’re looking for, don’t go there to buy it.
Instead, go to a mom & pop hardware store and buy them there. Find the old guy, there’s always an old guy there, who you can bounce this off of. He’ll be happy to help you.
Would the ‘spike’ sit on top of the gravel, penetrate it, or what?
You might want to consider putting down rails(for want of a better term) along the gravel, then use a screwgun with decking screws to affix the planks to the rails.
