Product Information

Full details

Forgefix Netting Staples are designed for securing wire and netting in outdoor applications. Their galvanised coating offers excellent rust resistance, ensuring longevity for fencing and other external projects. While they provide a strong hold, their effectiveness can depend on the density of the material being fastened and the tool used for insertion.

FAQs

What type of material are these staples best suited for?

These staples are best suited for fastening wire and netting to wood, especially for external applications like fencing.

How does galvanisation protect against rust?

Galvanisation is a process of applying a protective zinc coating. This coating acts as a physical barrier and a sacrificial anode, preventing the underlying steel from rusting.

Can I use these staples for indoor projects?

While functional, the galvanised finish may not be aesthetically pleasing for indoor projects. They are primarily designed for durable outdoor use.

What tools can I use to insert these staples?

You can use a heavy-duty stapling gun or a hammer for manual insertion. The best tool depends on the material you are fastening them to.

Are these staples suitable for marine environments?

While galvanised staples offer good corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to saltwater can eventually degrade the coating. For extreme marine applications, stainless steel fasteners might be more appropriate.

How many staples are typically in a pack?

Product packaging can vary. Please refer to the specific product listing or packaging for exact quantities.

Troubleshooting

Staples bending during insertion

Ensure you are using an appropriate stapling tool for the material density. For harder woods, pre-drilling pilot holes or using a hammer with a guide block can help.

Staples not holding securely

Check that the staples are fully inserted into the material. If using a stapler, ensure it has sufficient power. For softer materials, consider using a staple with a wider crown if available.

Rust appearing on staples

While galvanised, extreme conditions can eventually wear down the coating. Minor surface rust can often be cleaned. For significant corrosion, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent rust and corrosion resistance due to galvanisation.
  • Sharp points allow for rapid and efficient installation.
  • Provides a secure fastening for various types of netting and wire.
  • Durable and long-lasting in outdoor environments.
  • Cost-effective solution for fencing and outdoor projects.

Cons

  • May require a heavy-duty stapler or hammer for dense materials.
  • Galvanisation can sometimes lead to slight variations in finish.
  • Not suitable for indoor decorative use where aesthetics are paramount.
  • Potential for bending if forced into extremely hard materials without proper tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Forgefix Netting Staples are designed for use with appropriate stapling tools. Ensure the tool is compatible with the staple size. For manual insertion, a hammer can be used, often in conjunction with a guide to ensure straight placement.

Compatibility: These staples are primarily intended for use with wood and other soft construction materials. They are compatible with most standard heavy-duty staplers and nail guns designed for fencing or construction work.

Care: As these staples are galvanised for external use, they require minimal care. The zinc coating provides protection against rust. Avoid prolonged immersion in water or exposure to highly corrosive chemicals, which can degrade the coating over time. Store in a dry place when not in use to maintain their condition.
