Staples

Staples are sometimes known as U-nails, a name which originates from the U-shaped design that characterises these staples. Unlike conventional straight nails, U-nails feature a bent or curved form, resembling the letter 'U.' This unique shape contributes to their versatility and effectiveness in securing materials together. The legs of the staple penetrates the material from opposite sides, providing a firm grip that resists pulling apart.

In construction and carpentry, staples find their place in a variety of tasks. They are commonly employed in attaching plywood or other thin materials to wooden frames, offering a quick and efficient means of creating sturdy structures. The staple's design provides enhanced holding power, making it a preferred choice in applications where stability is paramount.

Gardeners also appreciate the versatility of staples in their endeavours. From securing landscape fabric to wooden borders to fixing mesh or netting in place, staples prove invaluable in maintaining the structure and integrity of garden installations. The staple's ability to securely fasten materials without causing damage makes it a practical choice for various outdoor applications.

Mill Timber Direct presents a diverse selection of staples in various sizes, spanning from 20mm to 40mm, to cater to your specific needs. The majority of our staple range undergoes electro galvanisation (e-galvanised), a process that entails bonding a layer of zinc to the steel. This procedure not only enhances the strength of the staples but also provides a heightened resistance to corrosion.

Consequently, our staples are well-suited for external projects such as fencing or decking. For your convenience, our staples are conveniently packaged in 500g or 1kg quantities, allowing you to choose based on your project requirements. All of our staples have been meticulously manufactured to meet the highest industry standards, ensuring reliability and durability in every application.
