Making a Room Divider out of Trellises

Hi forum, so I wanted an inexpensive room divider so I grabbed some cheap Trellis's, the only problem I have now is figuring out how to keep them upright? Looking at them I think I need to sandwich them between heavy objects but what could I use? I don't really want to use (nor do I have) any big furniture, I thought about big rocks but that might not work--where could I even find any--could I even carry them? I don't want to spend any money if I can help it (though I'm willing to spend a little). So trying to problem solve right now. Any idea's?

Plant pots/buckets full of sand? (or indeed earth/compost with indoor plants)
Weighted garden umbrella stands?
Screw them to the wall/ceiling/floor0 -
Here are some plans for making a room divider, could you adjust them to suit what you're after.

Thanks for your replies, thought I would just let you know how it went. Basically I tied thin rope I got out of some string bags I weren't using, by leaning the trellises against something whilst I tied the trellises together they didn't fall, when I moved the items away the trellises stood on their own. An inexpensive idea for anyone who wants a cheap divider, of course I will use nicer ties or maybe hinges in the future, but it works for now.0
