About this product
The heavy duty fixing: steel edging, timber, paver restraints and anything in stony or compacted soil.
Steel spikes are the answer when the ground says no to plastic.
100 mm long and 7 mm in diameter, which is a solid pin rather than a wire pin.
They are the correct fixing for steel edging, and they also work for timber edging, paver restraints and yard ornaments.
Stony and compacted ground is where they matter most, because a plastic peg shears on the first stone.
Packs of 50 and 100.
The fixing is the part of an edging install that decides whether the line is still straight in two years, and it is the part people economise on.
These are 100 mm steel pins at 7 mm diameter. The diameter is what separates a real landscaping spike from the bent wire pins sold for holding down fabric: 7 mm does not fold when it meets resistance, so it goes where you drive it.
The length gives the hold. 100 mm into firm soil is enough to resist the sideways push of settled earth on one side and a mower on the other, which is the load an edge actually sees.
Ground type is the real decision between these and the plastic spiral pegs. Plastic is excellent in normal soil and stays clean under fabric and pale gravel. Put it into stony or heavily compacted ground and it shears. Steel goes in.
They are multi purpose beyond edging: timber restraints, paver edging, securing yard ornaments and anything that needs a solid pin rather than a peg.
One honest note on the finish. The live listing describes them as non rust, but no coating or grade is specified to support that, so we do not repeat the claim. In practice a spike spends its life buried, where oxygen is limited and surface rust is cosmetic rather than structural. If you want a fixing that genuinely will not corrode at all, the plastic spiral pegs are the honest answer.
Still deciding?
You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
Got questions?
100 mm long and 7 mm in diameter.
High quality steel. A specific grade is not published for this item.
The live listing says non rust, but no coating or grade is specified to support it, so we will not repeat the claim. Buried steel sees limited oxygen and surface rust there is cosmetic. For a genuinely non corroding fixing, use the plastic spiral pegs.
Steel for stony or compacted ground and for steel edging. Plastic for normal soil, weed fabric, artificial turf and anywhere a rust mark would show.
Two: 50 and 100.
Our steel edging includes 7 per section length and the stainless includes 3 per metre. These are for edging that does not include fixings, for replacements, and for extra hold on curves.
At 7 mm diameter they are a solid pin rather than a wire pin, so they do not fold when they meet resistance.
A rubber mallet, which drives them without deforming the head or marking the edging. There is one in this range.
Yes. Timber restraints and paver edging are both listed uses.
Yes. Moist clay takes them well. Very dry hard clay is difficult for any fixing, so water it first.
They drive easily but hold less well in loose sand, where a spiral peg's thread has more to grip.
For an edging strip in firm ground, yes. Loose or very sandy ground may want a longer fixing.
They can be pulled and reused, though a spike driven into stony ground often comes out with a bent tip.
Drive them fully home so the head sits flush with the edging. A proud head is what a blade finds.
The steel and corten ranges include their own spikes. These are sold separately for other edging, replacements and extra hold.
Once driven home they present no hazard. Loose spikes are sharp, so keep the pack out of reach before use.
They will hold, but a spiral peg resists pulling out better under tension. The plastic spirals are the better choice there.
Bare steel in contact with pale stone can leave a rust mark over time. Where that matters, use the plastic pegs.
Steady blows rather than heavy ones, and move over slightly if you hit a stone you cannot pass.
You can, but take care: a steel spike driven hard through a plastic profile can split it. The plastic kit comes with its own anchors for that reason.
Head detail is not published for this item beyond the 7 mm diameter. Contact the team if you need the specification.
Dry. Bare steel in a damp shed will surface rust, which is untidy rather than harmful.
No galvanising or coating is specified for this item, so we do not claim it.
Per spike, the 100 pack. Buy by the job though, since spare spikes in a shed are not a saving.
You can, but the plastic spirals are designed for it and will not rust into pale gravel.
Ground heave lifts any fixing slightly. A straight steel pin is more prone to that than a spiral, so check the run after a hard winter.
No specific product guarantee is offered on this item. Your statutory rights under EU consumer law apply, including the 14 day right to change your mind.
You can with an angle grinder, though it leaves a sharp end and there is rarely a reason to.
Yes, that is one of the listed uses and it is the sort of load that needs steel rather than plastic.
Delivery is Europe wide and takes 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time. A tracking number is emailed when the order ships.
The complete guide
The fixing decides whether an edge is still straight in two years, and it is the part people economise on. These are 100 mm steel pins at 7 mm diameter, which is a solid spike rather than a bent wire pin.
Ground type is the choice between these and the plastic spirals. Plastic is excellent in normal soil and leaves no rust marks. Stony or compacted ground shears it, and steel goes in.
Metal Landscaping Spikes, also listed as metal edging spikes or metal spikes for garden edging, sold by Steel Edging Company at steeledging.eu.com, warehouse pick codes steel-edging-nails-50 for the 50 pack at EUR 29 and steel-edging-nails-100 for the 100 pack at EUR 49. Steel ground spikes 100 mm long and 7 mm in diameter, in high quality steel. The 7 mm diameter distinguishes a real landscaping spike from bent wire fabric pins: it does not fold when it meets resistance. The 100 mm length provides the hold needed to resist the sideways load an edge actually sees, from settled earth on one side and mower contact on the other. Ground type is the decision between these and the plastic spiral pegs also sold here: plastic performs well in normal soil and leaves no rust staining under fabric or pale gravel, but shears in stony or heavily compacted ground, where steel drives in. Uses beyond edging include timber edging restraints, paver restraints and securing yard ornaments. Honest note on corrosion: the live listing describes them as non rust but specifies no coating or grade to support that, so the claim is not repeated here. A buried spike sees limited oxygen and any surface rust is cosmetic rather than structural, and a fixing that genuinely will not corrode is the plastic spiral peg. Care: none once installed; store spares dry, because bare steel surface rusts in a damp shed. Sold as a standard stock item, so the 14 day EU withdrawal right applies in full. Delivery Europe wide, free over EUR 100, otherwise EUR 25.
