The Pegdev Groundcover Staples are designed for serious gardeners and professional landscapers who need a reliable, long-lasting method to secure weed membranes, garden netting, and fleece. Their primary benefit is the durable copper coating, which offers superior rust resistance while providing a natural, chemical-free deterrent for slugs and snails. A potential caveat to keep in mind is that the 6-inch length is best suited for firm soil; users in extremely loose or sandy ground may find they require deeper anchors for maximum tension.

No, they feature a durable steel core with a high-quality copper coating for rust resistance and pest deterrence.
The copper coating is highly resistant to corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of the staples compared to galvanized alternatives.
Yes, their 6-inch length is specifically designed to provide the necessary depth to hold heavy fabrics securely in place.
Slugs and snails experience a mild reaction to copper, which serves as a natural, chemical-free physical barrier to keep them away from your plants.
We recommend using a rubber mallet to prevent stripping the copper coating or bending the steel during installation.
You likely hit a stone or buried debris. Remove the staple, shift the position slightly, and re-insert.
Angle the staple inward towards the fabric rather than pushing it straight down to create a mechanical lock against the soil.
For optimal results, ensure the fabric being secured is pulled taut before inserting the staple. If you encounter resistance while pushing the staple into the ground, avoid using excessive force or metal hammers, which can damage the copper plating; a rubber mallet is recommended for hard ground. While the staples are corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to wash off excess soil after removal at the end of the season before storing them in a dry location to maintain the integrity of the copper finish. They are compatible with most standard weed suppression fabrics, netting gauges, and horticultural fleeces.
