These anchoring products, commonly found at large home improvement retailers, are metal fasteners shaped like the letter “U.” They are driven into the ground to secure various items, such as landscaping fabric, garden edging, and holiday decorations. A typical application involves hammering them over the material being secured, pinning it firmly to the soil.
The utility of these ground staples lies in their simplicity and effectiveness. They provide a quick and inexpensive solution for preventing movement or displacement of materials in outdoor environments. Historically, similar securing methods have been employed in agriculture and construction, demonstrating the enduring need for reliable ground anchoring. Their low cost and ease of use make them a popular choice for both professional landscapers and homeowners.
