About this product
Extra spikes for curves, soft ground and everything else that needs pinning.
Spiral plastic stakes that hammer in and stay put. Packs of 10, 50 or 100. They will not rust or peel.
Our flexible edging comes with three spikes per metre. That is enough for a straight run in firm soil. A tight curve, soft ground or a bed that gets a lot of foot traffic wants more.
These are the same spiral stakes. The twist grips the soil and resists frost heave, and the plastic composite will not rust or peel. They also pin down weed mat, artificial turf and paver edging, and they come back out for reuse.
Our flexible edging comes with three spikes per metre. That is enough for a straight run in firm soil. A tight curve, soft ground or an edge that gets kicked wants more, and this is where you get them.
They are the same spiral stakes. The twist grips the soil and resists frost heave, and the plastic composite will not rust or peel. Tap them in with a rubber mallet and they stay.
They do more than edging. Pin down weed mat, artificial turf, paver edging, tree ties and tent pegs. Pull them out at the end of the job and use them again.

Anchoring garden edging, mostly our flexible plastic edging on curves or soft ground where the included spikes are not enough. They also pin down weed mat, artificial turf and paver edging.
Do I need extra spikes?
For a straight run in firm soil, the three per metre included with the flexible edging usually do. Add extras for tight curves, sandy or soft soil, or anywhere the edging gets knocked.
Which pack size should I pick?
Count the extra spikes you need and round up. A 10 pack covers a few curves, a 50 pack a decent bed, and a 100 pack a whole garden or a weed mat job.
How do I use them?
Push the spike through the edging or mat and tap it into prepared soil with a rubber mallet. Space them about every 60-90cm along landscape edging, closer on curves, and about every 45cm on paver edging.
Do they fit other brands of edging?
They anchor any edging with a slot or a lip they can pass through. Check the hole size on your edging before ordering a big pack.
Will they rust?
No. They are plastic composite, so they do not rust, peel or corrode in wet soil.
What is the spiral for?
Grip. The twist holds in the soil and resists frost heave far better than a smooth stake, so edging stays down through winter.
How much does it cost?
10 Pack: R90; 50 Pack: R390; 100 Pack: R600. Delivery is free once your order is R750 or more. Under that it is a flat R250.
Are there other sizes or options?
Three pack sizes, 10, 50 or 100 spikes. Pick the pack before you add it to your basket and the price updates.
What do the photos show?
The spikes and how they sit through edging and mat. Edging, mat and garden props are not included unless listed.
Which specs should I check before I buy?
Pack size (10, 50 or 100) and that your edging has a slot the spike can pass through. If anything is unclear, ask us first.
How do I work out how many I need?
Measure the run and allow one spike every 60-90cm, closer on curves and in soft ground. Subtract any spikes already included with your edging, then check your basket before paying.
Can I order more than one pack?
Yes. Set the quantity on this page or change it in your basket.
Will they work in my soil?
They go into prepared soil and clay with a mallet. They will not go through rock, so shift the spike to miss a stone or lift the stone out.
How should I prepare the ground?
Loosen the line, clear large stones and check for shallow pipes or cables before you tap spikes in.
Any safety tips while fitting them?
Use a rubber mallet, not a steel hammer, and tap rather than whack so the spike does not split. Wear gloves and keep kids and pets clear.
What if the ground is hard or stony?
Water the line the day before so the soil is softer, and move the spike a few centimetres if it hits a stone. Do not force it.
Can I reuse them?
Yes. Pull them out when you re-lay edging and use them again. Store them dry in the shed.
Can I use them for anything else?
Yes. They also hold down tree ties, lawn ornaments, tents and inflatables.
Can I check they will suit my edging before I buy?
Yes. Send us the edging type or a photo of the slot, and we will tell you straight.
Is the price in rand?
Yes. Product prices and checkout totals are in rand.
What does delivery cost?
Delivery is free when the goods total after any discount is R750 or more. Otherwise the express-delivery charge is R250.
How long does delivery take?
Allow 24-48 hours for handling, then an estimated 5-7 days in transit. These are estimates, not a promised arrival date.
Can I use the valued-customer code?
Yes. It takes 15% off the goods. Delivery is not discounted, and free delivery is worked out on the discounted goods total.
How do I track my order?
Use the Order Tracking page with the details we send after dispatch. If anything looks stuck, email us with your order reference.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, within 15 days of purchase for an unused stock item in original resaleable condition with proof of purchase. An R300 packing and handling deduction and return postage apply where the law allows it. The 7-day ECTA cooling-off right and your CPA rights are separate and are never reduced by our policy.
What if it arrives damaged or wrong?
Contact us with your order reference and photos where useful. Under the Consumer Protection Act, goods that fail the required quality standards within six months of delivery can be returned at our risk and expense for repair, replacement or refund. No change-of-mind deduction applies.
Can I cancel before it ships?
Contact support as soon as possible. The voluntary cancellation policy accepts requests within 12 hours and before shipment, with a 12.5% processing fee where the law allows it. Your ECTA and CPA rights are not reduced.
I have a big project. Can you help?
Yes. Use the wholesale enquiry page and tell us the products, quantities and your delivery postcode.

The complete guide
Edging spikes: the complete guide
3 min readLawn Edge South Africa
A spike is the difference between edging that stays where you put it and edging that lifts in the first frost. These spiral stakes are the ones we pack with our flexible edging, sold in bigger packs for the jobs that need more of them.
Sizes and specifications
Packs of 10, 50 or 100
Heavy-duty plastic composite, will not rust or peel
Spiral hammer-in design that resists ground heave
Reusable
How to use them
Clear the line and lay your edging, mat or turf where you want it.
Push the spike through the slot in the edging, or straight through the mat.
Tap it in with a rubber mallet until the head sits flush. Tap, do not whack, or the head splits.
Space them about every 60-90cm along landscape edging, closer on curves and in soft ground, and about every 45cm on paver edging.
Backfill soil or bark against the edging to lock everything in.
How many do I need?
Measure the run and allow one spike every 60-90cm for a straight line in firm soil. Double that on tight curves or sandy ground. Subtract the three per metre already included with the flexible plastic edging and round up to the nearest pack.
Where they work
Flexible garden edging, first and foremost. Weed mat under bark or gravel. Artificial turf edges. Paver edging. Tree ties, lawn ornaments, tents and inflatables. Anything that needs pinning to soil.
Hard ground
They go into prepared soil and clay with a mallet. They will not go through rock. If a spike stops, move it a few centimetres to miss the stone. Watering the line the day before softens things up.
Looking after them
Pull them out when you re-lay edging and use them again. Store them dry in the shed. Check they are still firm after a hard frost and tap any loose ones back in.
