Extrafix Metal Staple 150mm x 100mm

Secure your weed control fabrics, geotextiles, and ground covers with confidence using the Extrafix Metal Staple. A robust, wide metal fixing designed for reliable anchorage in tougher soils and more demanding ground conditions.

Why Use the Extrafix Metal Staple?

• Heavy-duty holding strength: At 150 mm long and 100 mm wide, this staple provides a broad grip zone to resist pull-out and uplift, even under lighter substrates.

• Broad footprint for stability: Its wide “bridge” helps distribute load and reduces the chance of the fabric tearing around the fixing point.

• Hammer-friendly design: Easily driven into most soil types using a mallet or hammer, making installation fast and efficient.

• Perfect for garden and landscaping fabric: Ideal where you need firm anchorage but don’t require deep pins e.g. under weed membranes, decorative stone, mulch, turf or planting areas.

When to Use This vs Stronger Fixings

Use Extrafix Metal Staples when:

• You are installing landscape fabrics or ground covers in garden beds, borders, or path edges.

• The soil is relatively firm and you don’t expect heavy uplift forces.

• You desire quick, secure fixing over a broad area without penetrating too deeply.

But consider Extrafix Metal Pegs (e.g. 200 mm pegs) when:

• You're anchoring membranes on steep slopes, embankments or banks

• The area will be subjected to vehicle loads or heavy aggregate cover

• The soil is loose, sandy, or unstable, which demands deeper anchorage and stronger holding.

Installation Tips

1. Lay your fabric or membrane flat, checking overlaps and layout.

2. Position staples at regular intervals (e.g. every 30-50 cm, or tighter near edges).

3. Use a hammer or mallet to drive the staple fully into the soil, ensuring both legs are embedded.

4. Avoid placing staples under direct lines of stress, spread them evenly to prevent fabric tearing.

5. After securing, overlay your decorative surface (stone, mulch, turf) as required.

The Extrafix Metal Staple offers a reliable, broad-based fixing for general landscaping and garden membrane needs. It excels in garden beds, under decorative covers, and on moderate terrain, and works best when you don’t need the depth or force resistance of full-length pegs.
