my bed is on hard packed sand and driving a stake into that will be tough. i also have my underground water plumbing on the east side of the bed and my house is on the west side so lets hope i dont hit a pipe while hammering away.

Jeff,

Does your raised bed have a wooden frame? If so you can attach some short vertical "stakes" of thinwall to the box sides using conduit clamps. Then affix your cages to those verticals. It would anchor your cages but avoid having to drive stakes into that packed sand or worse.... your plumbing.
