How to Install / Best Practices

• Prepare Area: Clear ground of large surface rocks/debris. Lay material flat.
• Position Staple: Place the 12 inch, 8 gauge sod staple over the material.
• Drive Staple: Use a heavy-duty mallet or hammer. Strike the square top firmly, driving straight down. The 8-gauge strength minimizes deflection even in firm ground.
• Spacing: Space according to project needs – typically closer for heavy materials or very loose/challenging soil.
• Extremely Hard Ground: While 8 gauge excels, for exceptionally rocky or concrete-like soil, a pilot hole can still aid perfect entry.
