If your goal is to build a long-lasting fence, then you don’t want your fence staples falling out of your posts. You need a staple that will do the best job at gripping the inside of the wood post. Our Diamond Coat Extreme Staples with SMART wire coating technology by FASCO has the highest grip rate of all staples on the market.
The barbed staple design causes excess damage to the wood fibers, which do not flex back to its original shape. This leads to decreased holding power. The SMART Wire coating technology in our FASCO staples helps to avoid damaged wood fibers and gives the staple the highest performance rating amongst it peers. Even though these staples are ribbed (or knurled), our FASCO staples grip timber more than 2x tighter than a 9 gauge 2" barbed staple.
Pro Tip
Never drive staples completely into the post. Your fence needs to be able to move on impact and expand or contract with temperature changes.
