Forgefix Netting Staples - Galvanised

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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