Presser Staples - TIMco - 75 Pieces

These staples are primarily used for securely fastening outdoor items like fences, wire mesh, trellises, and netting to wooden surfaces.

They offer medium-duty corrosion resistance (Rating 2), suitable for rural and sheltered areas. For highly corrosive environments like coastal areas, stainless steel options may be more appropriate for long-term durability.

They are designed for easy installation with a 'presser point' that helps guide them straight into wood when hammered.

Each staple measures 20 mm in length and has a thickness (shank diameter) of 2.00 mm.

Each pack contains 75 galvanised steel staples.

While they are specifically designed for wood, they might be used on other relatively soft materials with caution, but wood provides the best substrate for optimal hold.

It means the staples are protected against rust and corrosion for general outdoor use in environments that are occasionally damp or wet, such as rural or sheltered locations, but not constantly exposed to harsh weather or saltwater.

Ensure you are hammering straight and with consistent force. Check that the substrate (wood) is not excessively hard or that the staple is not hitting a knot or embedded object. For harder woods, a pilot hole might be beneficial.

Verify that the staple is fully driven into the wood. Ensure the wood is of sufficient density and not rotten or overly soft. Consider using a slightly longer or thicker staple if the material being attached is particularly heavy or under tension.

This can occur if the galvanised coating is damaged during installation. While the core protection remains, minor rust may appear. For critical applications, touch up with a zinc-rich paint or consider stainless steel staples.
