GardenMate pack of 500 black plastic garden securing pegs, L 12 cm, UV Stabilised and rot proof

So I bought these to hold down a piece of weed control fabric before putting stones over it. The primary purpose was met with a lot leftover. They worked very well, were easy to pierce through the heavy duty plastic kind of weed control fabric (as well as the lighter, material feel weed control fabric) and held the fabric down even when walking over it on uneven ground.As there were so many, I quickly found other uses for these little spikes. I replaced a few solar light spikes using these- a bit of super glue to hold them on the bottom does the trick. I also super glued them to some lightweight gnomes I have to stop them falling over all the time- worked a treat. There were some small plant pot ornaments that reviously had a wooden cane holding them in which had rotted away; Superglue and spike, and all back to normal!I have these in my shed as a new essential, and will likely buy more if I run out.

Took a while to get the hang of putting them in but once I got going I was very happy with the result.Use a skewer first to make sure the ground is soft because if you hit a hard bit they just snap.Also if you break one and need to pull it back out don't! just break the head of and push it through or it will tear all your fabric because of the direction of the teeth

I've laid lots of weed fabric and used various pegs from different suppliers but these are by far the softest and weakest pegs I've ever used to date. The tip curls over before it even goes thru the weed fabric. I have quite soft soil in my garden but even so, I had to snip the tip off of a few of these just to give them a bit more rigidity going into the ground. Pay a few pennies more and get stronger pegs.

If these are heavy duty, I wouldn’t like to see light duty.Will only go through 1 piece of landscape fabric, if you want to go through 2 or more pieces than be prepared to bend pegs.These pegs bend at slightest bit of resistance wether it be a 2nd lair of fabric of slightly hard ground.I would not buy anymore of these particular ones, I’d look else where for stronger pegs.

These are pretty hopeless. Heavy Duty? The majority of the times I tried, the peg either snapped, bent or blunted - and the soil isnt particularly heavy. The one I did get to go in ok, was not secure at all,as I went to get up my knee scraped along the membrane the peg came out! I have returned the lot, including the bent, broken and blunted ones for a refund and have purchased some 6" nails instead - they havent got the reverse grip bit, but they stay in and hold down fine - not like the pegs which are made to do that job.

I have just bought more so I have no complaints but be warned.... beware of driving them in with a mallet. They will break quite easily if you hit a stone. In fairness - I had been using thick fence wire and wire clothes hangers cut to length and bent into a 'U' shape to do the job and while they did the job - they bent quite easily when hitting a stone. My advice... do what I do now and drive them in gently with a rubber mallet until you feel resistance when hitting a stone and if you do - remove it and try another spot. They normally break at the tip and are rarely rendered useless.

We used these pins to hold down some weed retaining sheeting.As previous customers had mentioned they can snap easy, however we only damaged one along the fifteen foot by a metre area we were pinning down.We used a rubber mallet to tap the pins in, although an ordinary steel head hammer 🔨 would do the trick.We also pinned them down making ridges as shown in bed mattresses, found this worked well and looked good once we had finished the area.We laid garden bark over the sheeting to protect it and to aid the killing of weeds underneath.I would definitely recommend these pegs to hold the sheeting down.

Not the best. I'm using a rubber mallet to hammer them in to soft top soil. 1 in 3 break or bend.Glad I bought 100, I might just be able to get the job done.
