This massive 6 inch wide landscape staple (ground staple) is SIX TIMES wider than your ordinary staples - perfect for holding down those big pipes. Plus, you can still use these large staples for standard applications like keeping your landscape fabric, ground cover, erosion control netting, sod, turf, or outdoor equipment in place.
Each staple is 8 inches long, making them great for soft and loose soils. And not to mention these things are tough! They're made from our heaviest duty 7 gauge steel and have chisel pointed ends to ensure they go into the ground easy without bending. Plus they're weather resistant, extremely resistant to rust.

Square top sod staple have a flat top.
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.
Round top sod staples are rounded at the top.
Round top sod staples are typically used to hold down irrigation pipes and PVC pipes.
The lower the gauge number, the thicker and stronger the metal.
With compact soil, use landscape staples with a lower gauge, i.e. 8 gauge, so that the staples don't snap while hammering them into the ground.
With normal or looser soil, use landscape staples with a higher gauge, i.e. 11 gauge.
11-gauge staples are suitable for most applications.
Longer staples work better in looser soils.
The added length ensures that the landscape staple will not move after installation.
For most soils, 6" x 1" x 6" staples will work.
For looser soils, use longer staples, such as 9" x 1" x 9" or 12" x 1" x 12" staples.
Tips
Landscape staples are metal fasteners that help hold down landscape fabric, erosion control mats, and other materials in place. They come in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, and finishes.
The gauge of landscape staples indicates the thickness of the metal used. An 11-gauge is typically the best balance between strength and longevity, but tougher terrain may require a 8-gauge for more robust performance. Lower gauges offer superior durability but also come with an increased cost.
The quantity of landscape staples per square foot will vary based on the material and soil composition. For example, we recommend a staple every 3-4 feet apart. When soil is hard or compacted, an increased number of staples may be needed.
The ideal spacing for landscape staples is 3-4 feet apart. Placing the staples too close together can potentially weaken the secure hold of the material, while also risking damage to it.
