8-Inch Nylon Spiral Landscape Edging Anchoring Spikes, 24 Count, Black

I bought these with a set of those plastic paver edges. and really wow, it works great. BETTER THAN CONCRETE. We had our guys do a concrete edging and because there is sand all over the place after laying the concrete/mortar border down it just didn't have anything to hold onto. the next day all the pieces of paver that it was attached do was sagging in a bad way. Quickly kicked off all the mortar, took it to the dump, and ran to HD to buy a bunch of gravel. Proceeded to nail down the durable plastic edging, cutting it around the curves of our brand new 40 feet of paver driveway and nailed it into place with these nylon stakes, filled the gap with gravel and river stones. Put another layer of sand in the paver spacers. and it's been smooth sailing for the last two months. Couldn't be happier with this product. Didn't want to get the super deep ones, maybe should have ordered more, i probably could have used like 3 of these stakes, but i had some long galvanized nails and zinc washers lying around and used those to finish the job.

These Dimex stakes are far stronger than the bulk bag that looks like the same thing from another company. I tried those first, and a full quarter of the stakes broke off; they also bend too much. I have heavy, compacted clay soil and those stakes were just not up for the job, even with pre-wetting. These Dimex stakes all worked without breaking, and they can even be pulled out if you hit a rock or root as long as you have something to grab the head with. Having installed about 140 feet of this no-dig edging, I found that it's best to stop pounding when encountering resistance from the soil (from compaction, not roots), then wait for a rain (or water) before finishing them off. Because it gets so hot here in Georgia in the summer, I decided to go on and put a stake every other hole, so I needed a lot of extra stakes. Another tip: use a metal tent stake to test your hole before trying to drive in a plastic stake. This way, if you encounter an immovable object, you can either pound on through it (if a small root) or at least know that particular place is not a good candidate for a stake...at least not without digging out whatever the obstruction is.

Needed these extras to properly install edging. Very secure.

I recently chose to refurb a few patio areas around my house which involved removing some existing edging and replacing it. That meant digging up the old edging, re-leveling the area, then installing the new stuff. Proactively I purchased a 100 ft continuous roll of Dymex edging, which came with a bunch of these, but I also elected to buy more just to have. Note that I believe with their edging they *estimate* you'll put one every 4 feet or so, which is laughably few, so you'll wind up needing more stakes if you want the edging to keep the form you install it at. To my surprise when pulling out the old edging, the stakes used then (16 years ago), while a bit corroded, were still somewhat usable. I re-used some of them when installing the new edging. By the time I was through about 3/4 of the 100 ft roll, I had run out of the included stakes PLUS this pack. I wound up using a stake every other hole in the edging which I would say is every 4" or so. For the last 25 feet or so (different section of patio), not wanting to wait for another order of these to come in, I just went down to the hardware store and bought landscaping timber stakes - basically 8" long gigantic nails, similar to what I pulled out of the ground. I'll say that while the nylon versions are pretty stiff, they are still plastic. If you happen to graze a stone or root int he dirt, the plastic versions will simply "bounce" and flatten the tip. Not a single one of the metal stakes I used did that, and it also felt like they "grabbed" more while pounding in - that is, I could tell they would hold the edging better by how much force it took to hammer them into the ground. If I were to do it again, I'd just get a megapack of the landscape timber stakes - even purchasing singles the price per stake was about the same as this (58 cents/ea). If I wanted to buy 100 they would be even cheaper. So what if they rust? I'll tell you what - the old edging was VERY difficult to remove - I have a feeling that the corrosion actually helps the spikes grip the ground better, too.

Very sturdy!

very sturdy and strong. the spikes were a little larger than I thought but worked out great

Strong secure as described

Sturdy, well made stakes. REASON FOR PURCHASE: I bought these to hold down landscape edging and weed control landscape covering. The edging by itself was not sufficient to hold down the weed control fabric. The wind would blow underneath and the weed fabric would end up covering the small plants that were just planted. I bought some metal tent pegs which have a 125 degree bend on the top to put through the fabric close to the plants to hold down the fabric. I thought the bend would hold the weed control fabric securely, but with the wind it just tore through the fabric or pulled up the tent pegs. Some of the tent pegs held and some did not. SOLUTION: I was looking for something that would hold well in the soil and have a round cap at the top to hold down the fabric. The Spiral Nylon stakes were less expensive than the tent pegs and seem to be doing a much better job so far. They seem to be made of a strong durable nylon and not a brittle cheap plastic. The spiral shape of these pegs seems to hold very well in the soil so far. I expect these will work much better. No country of origin on the package. When I expand the garden, I would definitely buy these again.

Cumple muy bien su función, buena calidad de materiales y tamaño perfecto para sujetar... Sin embargo se me hacen un poco caros...

Excellent quality and very easy to hammer down in your lawn. My lawn edging kit came with insufficient amount of spikes and I needed more to complete my backyard project. I ordered these spikes and they were way better quality than the ones that came in the kit. It’s made of strong plastic which made hammering a breeze, much easier than my kit spikes. For the price, these are excellent value and way cheaper than ones sold at Home Depot (Vigoro brand).

Great for what they are intended to do

Just the right length and size for pinning anything down in the garden. We made a walkway with pallet wood and drilled holes with these spikes holding them all down nicely.

Good quality and sturdy. Easy to use for garden edging
