1. Product introduction

A sod staple (also called a landscape staple, garden staple or U-shaped nail) is a U-shaped metal pin bent from galvanized steel wire. Two legs and a flat top make it quick to hammer into soil, holding sod, fabric and tubing firmly in place. Hot-dip or electro-galvanized finish resists rust for years of outdoor use.

2. Applications

Turf & landscaping: anchoring fresh sod, artificial turf, golf-course grass. Fabric & barriers: landscape fabric, weed barrier, ground cloth, erosion blanket. Irrigation: drip tubing, soaker hoses, irrigation lines. Seasonal: frost blankets, row covers. Other: fencing, vine branches, outdoor cables, holiday decorations.

5. How to install

Anchor fabric / barrier: Lay the fabric flat over the area, place a staple over the fabric every 1-2 feet along edges and seams, then hammer the flat top until the staple is flush with the ground.

Anchor tubing / sod: Position the staple so both legs straddle the drip line or sod edge, then hammer straight down. Space staples 1-3 feet apart depending on wind exposure and soil type.
