Alternative weed membrane pegs?

Posted by Rufus on June 28, 2018 at 3:49pm in Landscaping

Hi,

I am currently laying some weed membrane and the pegs are bending too easily because of stones ect under the surface.

anybody know any good alternatives to using the two headed steel pegs you get with the membrane?

The only alternative i can find are the single plastic stakes but they wont be any use either!

Thanks in advance,

Rufus.

    In ground like that I have used steel pegs made for heras panel supports. They are pretty much a tent peg shaped piece of steel that I am sure clever people could make!

    We bought some metal pins of pitchcare I think which can be hit in with a lump hammer and had no problems, not as cheap as the plastic ones but worked very well.

    100-150mm galvanised nails work well in stoney or clay ground.

      Yes we use galvanised nails too and they work fine.
