Common FAQs What size landscape staples should I buy? The most common size is 6" x 1" x 6". If your soil is not too compact and not too loose, this size will suit your needs. But if your soil is loose, it may be a good idea to purchase landscape staples that are longer (example: 12 inch landscape staples), which will ensure that the landscape staple does not move after installed into the ground. Will these staples rust? Yes, the staples with standard coating will rust, but the staples with galvanized, rust-resistant coating will not. However, rust can be good because it strengthens the staples' holding power and makes it more difficult to pull out. When steel rusts, it forms a protective coating preventing further rusting. Rust does not affect the strength of the wire in any way and is purely cosmetic. These staples are usually installed once and never touched again, so rust is not a problem. If you decide to reuse the staples, be sure to buy the galvanized, rust-resistant What's the difference between round top and square top sod staples? Square top staples have a flat top. They are typically used for securing landscape and weed barrier fabric, dog & electric fences, securing synthetic turf, and holding sod.Round top staples are rounded at the top. Round top staples are typically used to hold down irrigation pipes and PVC pipes. What gauge landscape staples should I buy? The lower the gauge number, the thicker and stronger the metal. 11-gauge staples are suitable for most applications. 8 gauge staples are considered heavy duty.
