Corona Membrane PegGarden Membrane Pegs, Weed Control Anchor Pegs (50)

These pegs just bang into the ground. They are perfect for banging.

Good size head and prongs. Care needed when hammering into ground - to prevent breaking, make a pilot hole by first driving a large screwdriver or metal rod into ground, then remove and use hole as guide to drive in plastic peg

As I said, they snap easily. If you buy these make sure you do a pilot hole in the ground with a screwdriver before hammering in.

Used it to hold down a tree weed control mat. Tips:- After taking useful advice from previous reviews, just make sure to remove any hard obstructions directly beneath where the peg will insert, otherwise the pegs will bend/break and become useless… (although some maybe recoverable & re-used by straightening them). Then make a very tiny insertion/hole in the weed mat where each peg will insert, (if you omit this step, in my experience, the peg struggled to go through the mat), then insert the peg into the hole holding it straight down, pointy side down, then bang it straight through. (I used a rubber mallet hammer for a softer impact, but I guess any hammer will do). Once I got started, (losing a few along the way where they got caught on some stones), otherwise, following the above, they were easy to use, with a really secure fit. I chose these as opposed to the pin style, simply due to the grips on the pegs so that they wouldn’t come back out of the mud, and yes, a very secure fit! Did the job intended. Happy with them.

There is a label on the outside of the packaging (see photo). This suggests making a pilot hole with a screwdriver. At first I was making a pilot hole through the reinforced plastic groundcover fabric sold by this company, with a screwdriver as suggested. This meant I could choose a different location for the spike if I hit a root or rock with the screwdriver. However, even with a pilot hole down to the same length as the spike, I was breaking about 1 in 3 of them- either the main shaft was breaking, or the spikes were breaking off. Partly what was breaking them was banging them down through the groundcover fabric, as the reinforcement in the fabric is stronger than the spikes. This was obviously very frustrating and once you have a broken spike to remove, it's very hard to get it back through the fabric. It gets tangled up. Anyway after much experimentation I devised a method that does not break them and when they are in there properly, they appear to do a good job. This is my method- 1.Peel back the fabric to reveal the soil 2. Bang in something with a bigger diameter than a screwdriver; something closer to the overal diameter of the spike. I used a crowbar of about 1cm diameter and taped round it at the length of the spike. 3. Having made this pilot hole, replace the fabric and with a Stanley knife, make 2 small crossed slits in the location of the hole. 4. Bang in the spike. Hey presto, no more broken ones! Now I have acheived this success I have ordered some more.

A massive bundle? I would recommend stabbing the hole first then hammer in these otherwise they break easily. But plenty supplied

Ok

Does the job if you follow instructions and take care. Can and do break in stoney ground.
