EasyFlex 10-Inch Steel Anchoring Spikes, 45 Pack

These metal spikes are just what I needed for securing landscape edging. They’re sturdy and easy to hammer into the ground. They hold everything in place, even in tough soil. It’s a great DIY product, and with 45 spikes in a pack, it’s also good value. Highly recommend for any landscaping project.

We had previously used 8 inch spikes for landscaping around pavers, synthetic lawn, and mulch areas. The 8 inch ones were ok, but seemed to not go quite deep enough at times, and had a little movement unless the ground was very compacted, which sometime the top inches of soil might be loosely packed. I had not seen these spikes before, but we tried them on our most recent projects. Apparently the ever so slight difference between the 8 inch spikes to the 10 inch spiked was all we needed. These spikes have no movement and a very sturdy. However, the 8 inch spikes were usable for the synthetic turf because they were skinnier. These are very thick, and are good for edging and such, but I would not recommend using in a synthetic turf (which we had considered doing before actually seeing them). For edging (what we intended to use them for) they are perfect.

I had another project some months ago where I used Dimex edging and ended up buying some other metal spikes that had more spikes for the price. A few weeks ago I bought more of the edging (300 feet) and boxes of these spikes because to my surprise they were like $12 a box (I see they are $30 now). Well these spikes are actually bigger than what I bought before. These are 3/8" in diameter vs. 1/4" that I bought before. I used a 2.5 pound sledgehammer to pounds these into rocky AZ soil and I know at times I had to have been splitting rocks. Only one out like 180 did I hit something that would not give and after like 12 blows did the spike kind of start to bend. I just moved to another hole in the edge. These were a smoking great deal at $12 for a box of 45. Knowing how tough and heavy duty these are, I would say they would still be a great deal at $30, but only if you really need something that will take the pounding to drive them into the soil or you know you need some great holding power.

Just used the last one on my patio project. Of course I need like 10 more and they are only sold in a 45 pack! Regardless, a great item for a great price

Needed more for my plastic edging and they did the job perfect. Very strong and easy to put into the ground. Only thing I did not like about them is they started to rust before I even put mulch in the flower bed not even a week later, just from being exposed to rain. It didn’t matter because I covered them with mulch I just did not expect them to rust that quickly. They still are very durable and sturdy and did not come out of the ground despite them starting to rust. They also were strong enough to go through parts of the ground that has a rocky consistency too them with a little extra hammering. Would definitely purchase again if needed.

I have an extremely steep incline at the end of my lot and created some footholds with 2x4 sections grounded with two spikes each. The guys replacing my old fence really appreciated having the aids to stay on their feet. You can stain the wood whatever you want to match the ground so it doesnt have to be that noticeable. Thanks for offering these spikes and at a good length for foothold anchors. Love my Amazon vendors and selections!

I tried three different kinds of spikes: these 10 inch steel ones, some 8 inch galvanized ones, and some 8 inch plastic ones. These go through rocky soil with no problem. I ended up using these to start holes for the other kind. Since they’re not galvanized, they rust and lock themselves into the ground, which is a benefit because it holds the landscaping strip solid. These were the same price per stake as the galvanized and I’d buy only these if I did my landscaping again.

These are legit! I drove them into the ground with a sledgehammer. They work well to hold landscape edge in place and I also use them to hold down landscape artwork.

My local stores wanted $0.91 each for similar garden spikes to these. At $35 for 45 spikes that's only 77¢ each which I thought was a terrific price. The nails themselves are good quality and strong. I'm using these nails to hold plastic landscape edging down. They're easy to hammer down and so far I haven't bent a single nail. I would recommend these and yes I would purchase them again.

The spikes are as advertised and worked well.

These are solid steel nails, 10 inches long, and 1/2 inch in diameter. I use them to hold down the skirting around my RV. They are easy to drive into grassy fields, dirt, gravel, hard and soft soil, and they hold my skirting securely even in strong winds and gusts. They are not stainless steel (which would cost a small fortune) so they will rust.

These spikes were used to install and hold down hard plastic edging around a patio perimeter. Does a great job holding it down in place in clay-ish soil. After a month of installation the spikes are already fully rusted which will hold down the edging even stringer. Will order again for another hardscaping projects next year!. Product arrived on time.

These work great, and I feel as though my edging will stay securely in the ground. They are quite weighty, and although the heads may not look perfect afterwards (doesn't matter as they will be covered), the hammer's put them through some pretty rocky, hard soil. I did leave one lying out in the rain, straight out of the box and the next morning, it did have quite a bit of rust on it.
