Re: [TowerTalk] Radial Staples

["Rob Atkinson, K5UJ" <k5uj@hotmail.com>]

Mike,

If the bobby pins fail to go in, in some places, give the barb wire fence 
staples a try.  The prongs are so thick and sharp you can smash them in with 
a hammer.    I have a lot of junk below grade here too and they work.  of 
course it's also true that with radials, if there is resistance you can 
always move the anchor a foot one way or the other.    I don't know if ur 
ground freezes or not but up here the fence staples punch through frozen 
crust no problem.

<<<The sod staples are more work to get into the hard rocky ground around 
here
and also way overkill to hold a piece of 20 or 22 guage wire down.  Possibly
in FL with the soil being somewhat sandy it would be very easy to use the
sod staples and also possibly need something that large to stay in the
ground.  You would think they would have to be more expensive than bobbie
pins just looking at the amount metal in sod staples versus bobbies.  I have
priced sod staples at Lowes and there is no comparison price wise to
bobbies.
