Staking Pole Beans

My simple request is....i need suggestions for staking pole beans. I have one of Mel's metal frames but need some more ideas. What i've done in the past has always fallen over, etc. So frustrated!!! Thanks in advance. For the record...i love the one i have from this website. Just can't afford any more of them right now.

I stuck 8 bamboo poles into the box around 4 squares perimeter, and tied them together at the top with a twine. That's it.

No issues with tipping over, even with strongest winds. Same bamboo poles can be used to make a bean fence, similar to this:
