EasyFlex 10-Inch Steel Anchoring Spikes, 45 Pack

I had another project some months ago where I used Dimex edging and ended up buying some other metal spikes that had more spikes for the price. A few weeks ago I bought more of the edging (300 feet) and boxes of these spikes because to my surprise they were like $12 a box (I see they are $30 now). Well these spikes are actually bigger than what I bought before. These are 3/8" in diameter vs. 1/4" that I bought before. I used a 2.5 pound sledgehammer to pounds these into rocky AZ soil and I know at times I had to have been splitting rocks. Only one out like 180 did I hit something that would not give and after like 12 blows did the spike kind of start to bend. I just moved to another hole in the edge. These were a smoking great deal at $12 for a box of 45. Knowing how tough and heavy duty these are, I would say they would still be a great deal at $30, but only if you really need something that will take the pounding to drive them into the soil or you know you need some great holding power.

These big spikes are nearly impossible to get locally, and if you manage to find them, they’re expensive.Not a thing wrong with their hardness factor.These are a solid deal.

If you have strong winds while camping these are great to use. We use them for our screen house.

I tried three different kinds of spikes: these 10 inch steel ones, some 8 inch galvanized ones, and some 8 inch plastic ones. These go through rocky soil with no problem. I ended up using these to start holes for the other kind. Since they’re not galvanized, they rust and lock themselves into the ground, which is a benefit because it holds the landscaping strip solid. These were the same price per stake as the galvanized and I’d buy only these if I did my landscaping again.

unfortunately, the nails rust early after installation...

We had previously used 8 inch spikes for landscaping around pavers, synthetic lawn, and mulch areas. The 8 inch ones were ok, but seemed to not go quite deep enough at times, and had a little movement unless the ground was very compacted, which sometime the top inches of soil might be loosely packed. I had not seen these spikes before, but we tried them on our most recent projects. Apparently the ever so slight difference between the 8 inch spikes to the 10 inch spiked was all we needed. These spikes have no movement and a very sturdy. However, the 8 inch spikes were usable for the synthetic turf because they were skinnier. These are very thick, and are good for edging and such, but I would not recommend using in a synthetic turf (which we had considered doing before actually seeing them). For edging (what we intended to use them for) they are perfect.

I recently redid the landscaping in my backyard. I have a lot of rock covering a dry creek bed that carries rainwater away from the house. After putting down new mulch, I used landscape timber’s to hold it in place. I used the landscape nails to keep the timber’s in place. They are very heavy and long enough to go at least 6-7” into the ground leaving a few inches to corral the timbers.

Needed more for my plastic edging and they did the job perfect. Very strong and easy to put into the ground. Only thing I did not like about them is they started to rust before I even put mulch in the flower bed not even a week later, just from being exposed to rain. It didn’t matter because I covered them with mulch I just did not expect them to rust that quickly. They still are very durable and sturdy and did not come out of the ground despite them starting to rust. They also were strong enough to go through parts of the ground that has a rocky consistency too them with a little extra hammering. Would definitely purchase again if needed.

These are good, solid metal spikes for use with construction grade edging. I was happy with them the first time, I needed more for an expansion of my patio.

A bit more expensive then i would expect to pay for what is basically a metal nail. That being said, they are strong and do work well. I've hit rocks/crap while driving them in and you can really just pound on them and they dont bend.

These are solid steel nails, 10 inches long, and 1/2 inch in diameter. I use them to hold down the skirting around my RV. They are easy to drive into grassy fields, dirt, gravel, hard and soft soil, and they hold my skirting securely even in strong winds and gusts. They are not stainless steel (which would cost a small fortune) so they will rust.

These work great, and I feel as though my edging will stay securely in the ground. They are quite weighty, and although the heads may not look perfect afterwards (doesn't matter as they will be covered), the hammer's put them through some pretty rocky, hard soil.I did leave one lying out in the rain, straight out of the box and the next morning, it did have quite a bit of rust on it.

These spikes were used to install and hold down hard plastic edging around a patio perimeter. Does a great job holding it down in place in clay-ish soil. After a month of installation the spikes are already fully rusted which will hold down the edging even stringer. Will order again for another hardscaping projects next year!. Product arrived on time.
