Extrafix Barbed Plastic Peg 160mm

Fasten your garden membranes with ease using the Extrafix Plastic Peg, a practical, cost-effective fixing designed for securing weed control fabrics and geotextiles in standard landscaping conditions.

Why Choose the Extrafix Plastic Peg

• 160 mm length with barbed edges: ensures a firm grip in soil, with the barbs resisting pull-out and shifting.

• Wide square head: delivers good surface contact and easier striking when installing with a mallet. 

• Lightweight, corrosion-resistant plastic: ideal for normal soil conditions where heavy steel fixings would be overkill. 

• Simple and efficient: quick to install in garden beds, border strips, under mulch, rock or landscaping fabrics.

When to Use This vs Heavier Fixings

Use Extrafix Plastic Pegs when:

• You’re installing weed membranes or landscaping fabrics in garden areas, flower beds, border zones, or under decorative gravel.

• Ground conditions are reasonably firm, not overly loose or sandy.

• Your project doesn’t demand extreme holding force or deep anchorage.

For more demanding conditions, slopes, embankments, heavy aggregate layers, or loose soils, opt instead for:

• Extrafix Metal Pegs (200 mm): for deeper, stronger anchorage

• Extrafix Metal Staples: where a wide footprint fixing is beneficial

These heavier fixings resist uplift and displacement better under harsher loads or terrain.

Installation & Best Practice Tips

1. Lay your membrane or fabric, checking overlays and orientation.

2. Insert the plastic peg vertically (or slight angle) into the soil through the fabric.

3. Drive the peg fully in using a mallet or hammer, ensuring barbs engage with the soil.

4. Space pegs evenly, typical spacing might be every 30–50 cm, tighter near edges or overlaps.

5. After securing, cover with mulch, gravel, stone, or whatever finish surface is planned.

The Extrafix Plastic Peg is your go-to for routine landscaping membranes where conditions are normal and extreme load strength is not needed. It offers a balance between ease, economy, and reliable anchorage in everyday garden use.
