FAQs

What is the primary use for these staples?

These staples are primarily designed for secure fastening of fencing and wire mesh applications, particularly in outdoor rural and sheltered environments.

What does 'Galvanised' mean for these staples?

Galvanised means the staples have a protective coating of zinc, which provides medium-duty resistance against rust and corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor use.

Are these staples suitable for coastal areas?

These staples have a Corrosion Rating 2, making them suitable for rural and sheltered areas with occasional dampness. For highly corrosive coastal environments, a higher corrosion rating might be necessary.

What is the shank diameter?

The shank diameter of these staples is 2mm, providing robust holding strength.

How much do the staples weigh?

The staples are supplied in a 0.5kg bag.

Can I use these for heavy-duty construction?

These staples are designed for fencing and wire mesh. For heavy-duty construction, consider products with higher gauge shanks and superior corrosion resistance.

How should I store these staples?

Store the staples in a dry, cool place to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating and prevent premature rust.

Troubleshooting

Staple not penetrating material fully

Ensure the stapling tool is powered adequately or manually driven with sufficient force. Check if the material being fastened is too dense for the staple size.

Staple bending during insertion

Verify that the stapling tool is aligned correctly with the surface. The material might be too hard, or the tool may require maintenance.

Visible rust appearing prematurely

While galvanised, prolonged exposure to harsh, corrosive environments or constant submersion in water can exceed the medium-duty protection. Store unused staples in a dry environment.

Inconsistent holding strength

Ensure staples are driven to a consistent depth and that the material substrate is solid. Check for damage to the staple legs after insertion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable fastening for fencing and wire mesh.
  • Galvanised coating offers good corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
  • Presser point design ensures secure fixing.
  • Durable construction for long-term performance.
  • Suitable for rural and sheltered environments.

Cons

  • Medium-duty rust protection, not ideal for highly corrosive environments.
  • Primarily designed for specific applications (fencing, wire mesh).
  • Requires appropriate tools for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These staples are designed for use with appropriate stapling tools (e.g., fencing staplers or heavy-duty staple guns) that accommodate a 20mm staple size with a 2mm shank. Ensure the tool is set to the correct depth for secure penetration without over-driving.

Compatibility:

Compatible with most standard fencing materials, wooden posts, and wire mesh applications. They are best suited for use in rural and sheltered environments where medium corrosion resistance is sufficient.

Care:

Store staples in a dry place to prevent premature corrosion. After installation, regularly inspect fixed points for any signs of loosening or rust, especially in prolonged wet conditions. Clean any debris from around the fixed points if necessary.
