Here are our different sod staples: round top, square top, circle top pins.

1.) Round top sod staples: standard 6-inch sod staples, 6-inch galvanized sod staples (don't rust, last longer), 12-inch sod staples (used for very soft soil)

Installing square top sod staples on ground cover:

3.) Circle top pins: 8-gauge versus 11-gauge for 6-inch square top staples. Much more heavy duty, gets the job done much quicker. It's better for large jobs but are more expensive.

FAQs
If you're curious, here's the difference between round top and square top sod staples:

For some of us who aren't sure what a square top sod staple means, it is the type of sod staple with a flat top. Meanwhile, round top sod staples are rounded at the top. So the difference is the uses of each of these sod staples. Our square top sod staples are typically used for securing landscape fabric, weed barrier fabric, dog fences & electric fences, controlling weed, securing synthetic turf, and holding sod. Meanwhile, our round top sod staples are typically used to hold down irrigation pipes and PVC pipes.

How to figure out what gauge & size of landscape staples (sod staples) should one buy?

To start out, we will discuss the differences between gauges in landscape staples. On the Internet, you’ll find landscape staples that are 8 to 15 gauge. The lower the gauge, the thicker and stronger the metal. Currently, we sell 8 gauge, 9 gauge, and 11 gauge landscape staples. Our 8 gauge landscape staples are primarily used for compacted soil, while our 11 gauge landscape staples are used for looser soil. If your soil is compact, it may be a good idea to purchase lower gauge landscape staples so that the staples does not snap while you are hammering it into the ground. For most applications, our 11 gauge sod staples will work.
Regarding the size of the landscape staple, the most common size is 6" x 1" x 6". If your soil is not too compact and not too loose, this size will suit your needs. But if your soil is loose, it may be a good idea to purchase landscape staples that are either 9" x 1" x 9" or 12" x 1" x 12", which will ensure that the landscape staple does not move after installed into the ground.
