Keep drip system tubing and emitter in place with 6 in. Sod Staple. Works like a giant staple to secure supply tubing to the ground so they stay just where you want them. Removes easily when expanding or making changes to the drip layout. The 6 in. long metal stake is also known as a U Support stake or tubing hold-down stake. It is available with the round top, which can be inserted by hand into soft soil or with the flat top, which can be hammered down for insertion into harder soil such as clay. The sod staple also comes in handy to hold down chicken wire or tarp for other garden projects. Made of galvanized steel and designed to withstand extreme climate conditions.
