Dewalt Fencing Staples
Fencing staples are U-shaped collated fixings made for high-speed staplers. They’re built to hold mesh, wire or fencing line to timber posts without hammering — ideal for boundary, agricultural or site protection installs.
What Are Fencing Staples Used For?
These staples pin wire-based materials into timber quickly and cleanly, replacing the need for manual hammer-in fixings — especially when working with tensioned fencing runs or high-volume install jobs.
- Securing Field Fencing – Fire U staples into timber posts to hold stock or boundary wire in long straight runs.
- Pinning Mesh to Posts – Fix aviary mesh, fencing net or protection mesh to square or round timber cleanly.
- Fastening Barbed Wire – Clamp barb runs in place with minimal wire movement or risk of slackening over time.
- Installing Galvanised Netting – Secure heavy-gauge mesh without twisting or hammer misalignment.
Who Uses Fencing Staples?
Anyone working in agriculture, landscaping or perimeter security relies on staples for speed and consistency when securing fencing to timber posts onsite.
- Fencers – Fire staples directly into post lines on agricultural and domestic boundary setups.
- Landscapers – Secure mesh fencing around gardens, estates or protected zones during upgrades.
- Farmers – Staple fencing wire for sheep, cattle or deer containment across fields or tracks.
- Security Contractors – Attach perimeter fencing or mesh barriers to timber uprights fast.
What Jobs Are Fencing Staples Best At?
Perfect for fast wire control in tough environments — these staples speed up jobs and give a secure hold without hand strain or repeat alignment issues.
- Long Wire Fence Installs – Hold multiple tensioned wires quickly with precise, flush staple placement.
- Cladding Timber Pens or Runs – Secure lightweight mesh or netting with zero twist or split risk.
- High Volume Farm Fencing – Use collated staples to minimise fatigue and speed up large-scale installation work.
- Attaching Strained Line to Posts – Fire staples into pre-marked positions to keep uniform tension along fence spans.
- Fencing Around Paddocks – Cleanly staple netting or rails into heavy timber posts without bounceback.
How to Choose the Best Fencing Staples
The right staple ensures consistent drive, full wire grip and rust resistance for long-term use outdoors.
1. Staple Length
Common lengths range from 35–50mm. Use shorter for mesh and netting; longer for high-tension barbed or stock fence lines.
2. Crown Width
Wide crown staples spread the grip across mesh or wire strands without pinch points or cut-through risk.
3. Barb or Plain
Barbed staples dig in better to timber, resisting pullout and vibration. Plain shanks drive smoother in green or soft wood posts.
4. Material Finish
Galvanised coating is essential for outdoor use. Always check zinc rating if exposed to constant weather or soil contact.
5. Stapler Compatibility
These staples are collated and sized for gasless fencing staplers — check length, crown and strip format against your tool's spec.

FAQs
Are collated fencing staples better than hammer-in?
Yes — they save time, reduce hand fatigue and give more consistent results across long fencing runs.
What size staples are best for barbed wire?
Use 50mm barbed staples for best hold strength in posts and high-tension wire setups.
Can I use these staples in all staple guns?
No — only use in compatible gasless fencing staplers with correct collation and crown width. Check your tool spec.
Will galvanised staples rust over time?
Not if properly coated. Always use galvanised or zinc-coated staples for outdoor work. Avoid bright steel in exposed areas.
What causes fencing staples to pull out?
Wrong length, smooth shanks, or soft/green timber posts. Use barbed staples and full drive depth to reduce movement.
