These metal fasteners, available at a major home improvement retailer, are designed for securing various materials to the ground. Characterized by their distinctive bent shape, they provide a simple yet effective anchoring solution. Examples of their use include holding down landscaping fabric, securing garden netting, or anchoring small outdoor structures.
Their utility lies in providing a stable hold against wind and movement, preventing displacement or damage to the secured item. They are particularly valuable in gardening and landscaping, where maintaining the position of materials is essential for plant growth and aesthetic appeal. The design has evolved from simple pegs to more robust and specialized forms to address different soil types and applications.
