Staples for upholstery, fencing and fastening tasks

Staples are versatile fasteners used in upholstery, cable management, construction and gardening. Selecting the correct gauge, crown width and length ensures a secure hold and a professional finish for your project.

Selecting staples for your project

Match staple size to the material thickness and the tool you will use. For heavy-duty outdoor work choose corrosion-resistant finishes, while fine upholstery demands narrow crowns and shorter legs. Many staples are sold in bulk, making them economical for large jobs.

Common types and applications

• U-shaped staples for fencing and insulation
• Crown staples for upholstery and carpentry
• Electro-galvanised options for basic corrosion resistance
• Stainless and hot-dipped variants for long-term outdoor use

Look out for clearance packs or mixed-size assortments when stocking up. Proper staple selection and the right fastening tool reduce material damage and rework, delivering cleaner results whether you are fitting trim, securing wiring or building garden structures.
