Hold Your Drip Tubing In Place!
5-inch drip irrigation stakes (also known as irrigation staples) are designed specifically to fit snugly over 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch drip tubing, so that the drip tubing stays completely in place. Made from galvanized steel, these drip irrigation tubing stakes are reusable and resistant to rust.
We offer these in both a 14 gauge and 11 gauge. Use the 14 gauge stake for soft/sandy soil and the heavy duty 11 gauge stakes for rocky soil.

FAQ
Will these staples rust?
No, the staples are galvanized, a process where a protective zinc coating is applied to the staples specifically to prevent rusting.
In fact, galvanization even enables the staples to be reused.
What's the difference between curved top and square top staples (stakes)?
Square top
Square top staples have a flat top. Square top staples are typically used for securing landscape fabric, weed barrier fabric, dog fences & electric fences, controlling weed, securing synthetic turf, and holding sod.
Round top
Round top staples are rounded (curved) at the top. Round top staples are typically used to hold down irrigation pipes and PVC pipes. They are ideal when used as irrigation staples, whether that be for drip tubing systems or sprinkler piping.
What gauge and size of drip tubing staples should I buy?
Gauge
The lower the gauge number, the thicker and stronger the metal.
With compact soil, use drip tubing staples with a lower gauge, i.e. 8 gauge, so that the staples don't snap while hammering them into the ground.
With normal or looser soil, use drip tubing staples with a higher gauge, i.e. 11 gauge.
11-gauge staples are suitable for most applications.
Size
Longer staples work better in looser soils.
The added length ensures that the drip tubing staples will not move after installation.
For most soils, 6" x 1" x 6" staples will work.
For looser soils, use longer staples, such as 9" x 1" x 9" or 12" x 1" x 12" staples.
I only need a few pins. Why should I buy these over the 25 or 50-packs at local stores?
These pins are a fraction of the cost of those at local stores.
You can pin down vines, grasses, and small roots after planting, so they stay in place until the roots establish.
You don't have to worry about dropping or losing a pin because the cost per pin is so minimal.

Tips
- Depending on how hard your soil is, separate each sod staple between 1-5 ft. For very soft soil, separate each staple by 1 ft. For very hard soil, separate each staple by 5 ft.
- For very soft soil, we recommend longer sod staples, such as 9-inch sod staples.
- For very hard soil, we recommend thicker sod staples, such as 6" x 2" x 6" 9-gauge staples .
