    OK, is it something that can be made, I have made things like pins for holding sleepers in place in the past.
    If you draw a blank at finding what you need off the shelf, email me a rough sketch of what you need with some dimensions on, I will have a look and if I am able, make something to do the job.

    Richard - Use galvanized nails from Jewsons or TP or any other good building supplier company.

    Hi Graeme thanks for the info and to everyone who as replied.

    Looking at your blog about the artificial grass do you get your levels by raking and having a good eye or do you also use screed rails to pull the sand.

    95% by back of a rake and then the whackerand final finish off with the rail that we also use when levelling for real turf.
