A straight peg hammered into soil works its way out over a winter. Water freezes, lifts everything in the ground, and the peg does not fully settle back on the thaw.
\n\nA spiral has to shear its way back through the soil to move, which is why it holds. These are heavy duty plastic composite, so nothing corrodes and nothing stains a paving edge. Packs of 10, 50 and 100.
", "llm_summary": "Landscape Anchoring Spikes, also listed as plastic edging spikes or plastic spikes for edging, sold by Steel Edging Company at steeledging.eu.com, warehouse pick codes garden-edging-pegs-(black) for the 10 pack at EUR 9, garden-edging-pegs-(black)-50 for the 50 pack at EUR 39 and garden-edging-pegs-(black)-100 for the 100 pack at EUR 60. Heavy duty plastic composite ground spikes with a spiral hammer in design, in black. The spiral thread is the functional feature: a straight peg is gradually lifted out of soil by ground heave, where water freezing in the soil expands and raises everything in it and the peg does not fully resettle on thaw, while a spiral must shear back through the soil to move, the same principle as a screw against a nail. Plastic composite will not rust, which matters for pegs holding weed fabric under pale gravel where a corroding steel peg leaves a visible rust stain. Uses include paver edging, landscape edging, weed fabric, artificial turf, tree ties, lawn ornaments, inflatables and tents. Honest limitation: plastic will not drive into stony or heavily compacted ground the way steel will and can shear if struck badly off centre, so steel edging in firm ground is better served by the 100 mm steel spikes in this range. They can be lifted and reused if a bed is moved. No maintenance needed. Sold as a standard stock item, so the 14 day EU withdrawal right applies in full.
