Is your soil extremely loose? Look no further. These 12-inch Sandbaggy Landscape Staples will help you secure your landscape fabric or dog fence into the ground. Typically, landscape staples are usually only 4-6 inches long. With the additional 6 inches, your landscape fabric or drip tubing will not be moved.
Installation Tips 1. Depending on how hard your soil is, separate each sod staple between 1-5 ft. For extremely soft soil, separate each staple by 1 ft. For extremely hard soil, separate each staple by 5 ft. 2. Hammer (or rubber mallet) & Gloves are required for landscape staples installation. 3. We recommend using longer sod staples (such as this 12-inch sod staple) for extremely soft soil. Shorter staples, i.e. 6-inch, will work well with normal soil.
Q: What's the difference between round top and square top sod staples? A: A square top sod staple is the type of sod staple with a flat top. Meanwhile, round top sod staples are rounded at the top. So the difference is the uses of each of these sod staples. Our square top sod staples are typically used for securing landscape fabric, weed barrier fabric, dog fences & electric fences, controlling weed, securing synthetic turf, and holding sod. Meanwhile, our round top sod staples are typically used to hold down irrigation pipes and PVC pipes.
Q: What size landscape staples should I buy? A: Regarding the size of the landscape staple, the most common size is 6" x 1" x 6". If your soil is not too compact and not too loose, this size will suit your needs. But if your soil is loose, it may be a good idea to purchase landscape staples that are either 9" x 1" x 9" or 12" x 1" x 12", which will ensure that the landscape staple does not move after installed into the ground.
To keep your hands clean, we highly recommend installing staples with gloves
