These circle top pins are a practical choice for various outdoor applications. The thickened 8 gauge steel construction, with a wire diameter of 0.16 in., makes them 30% thicker than 11 gauge yard staples. This high-hardness steel is galvanized, offering excellent anti-rust properties, suitable for different geological conditions. The larger round top, with a diameter of 1.3 in., not only makes insertion and extraction easier but also provides a holding area 10 times greater than regular pins. They have 6 to 8 times more holding power than standard U-shape yard staples, effectively preventing landscape fabric from tearing or pulling apart. These pins can be reused multiple times, helping to control soil erosion. Their wide applicability allows them to be used as garden stakes, landscape fabric stakes, and more.
