tools /items needed to sidecar my crib?

Do I need some kind of bungee cord or rope to hold the crib tight to the bed? Can I buy them at Home Depot?

I used bungee cords to strap the crib to the bed. You can get them at Home Depot, Walmart, etc. I also used one of the Jumbo Pool Noodles (the ones that are thicker than the normal ones) to fill the gap between the baby mattress and the side rail when I scooted the baby mattress over to the big mattress. I just used an old flat sheet to wrap (securely) around the pool noodle to keep it from being a teether. I bought mine at Walmart, but I'm sure that Target and other places probably have them too.
