Product Information
Full details
The Extrafix 160mm Plastic Pegs are designed for professional landscapers and DIY gardeners who need a reliable, durable solution for anchoring geotextile fabrics and weed control membranes. By providing a wide square head and barbed shank, these pegs ensure your ground covers stay securely in place against wind and shifting soil, though they are intended primarily for soil-based ground rather than rocky or heavily compacted terrain.

FAQs
Can these be used for artificial grass?
While intended for geotextile fabrics, they can be used for light-duty artificial grass installations where heavy-duty metal U-pins are not required.
Are these reusable?
Yes, if carefully removed from the ground, they can be cleaned and reused for other projects.
Will these rot or rust in the ground?
No, the plastic material is non-corrosive and designed specifically for long-term contact with moisture-rich soil.
How many pegs should I use per meter?
A standard recommendation is to place a peg every 50cm to 100cm, depending on the fabric weight and wind exposure.
Can I use these on concrete or wood?
No, these are strictly for soil-based ground application.
Troubleshooting
Peg will not penetrate the ground
The soil may be too compacted or rocky; use a small pilot hole or dampen the area before re-attempting.
Peg head keeps popping out
The soil is likely too loose; try angling the peg at 45 degrees or move the installation point to a denser area.
Peg head broke during installation
Avoid striking the head directly with a metal hammer; use a rubber mallet and ensure the peg is not hitting a buried rock.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Large surface area prevents fabric tearing
- Barbed shank design provides superior grip
- Rust-proof plastic material for long-term outdoor use
- Easy to install by hand or with a rubber mallet
- Securely anchors various weights of geotextile fabrics
Cons
- Not suitable for extremely rocky or stony ground
- May require pre-drilling in heavily compacted clay
- Plastic may break if hammered with excessive force
- Limited pack size for very large commercial installations
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, clear the area of sharp debris that might interfere with the peg entry. Align your fabric and drive the peg through the material into the ground until the square head sits flush against the surface. If the ground is very dry or hard, dampen the soil beforehand to ease insertion. These pegs are compatible with all standard non-woven and woven landscape fabrics. To maintain, inspect the installation after heavy storms or frost heave, as shifting ground can occasionally loosen pegs; simply push them back into place or move them slightly to find firmer soil.
