What are galvanised staples?
Galvanised staples are coated in a protective layer of zinc to stop moisture from rusting the raw steel. This specialised dipping process ensures your heavy building staples remain completely solid when fixed in damp environments. This defensive barrier is what makes galvanised staples perfect for outdoor construction or agricultural wire fencing work.
Trade teams choose these treated staples to anchor wire netting firmly onto rough timber posts. Our central warehouse keeps a massive range of heavy-duty sizes in stock for immediate trade dispatch. Order the exact gauge you need online for immediate dispatch. Our trade-quality staples are built to last, keeping your outdoor timber work rock-solid for years.
Types of galv staples available
There are various collated staples available, which are all galvanised. We summarise your options below, all quoted prices exclude VAT:
1) Fine wire staples
These thin metal staples fix delicate fabrics or underlying building papers without tearing the outer material surfaces. Our premium galvanised staples are an excellent choice because the zinc layer stops early rust damage.

Hand tackers and hammer tackers let you fire lightweight staples into breathable membranes or liners quickly and easily. They are suitable for small interior lining projects where quick fastening action saves valuable labour hours.

4) Narrow crown staples
These thin-headed fasteners sink below wooden surfaces to provide an exceptionally tidy finish on carpentry joints. Using galvanised staples ensures your joints stay secure and rust-free, even in wet weather. Browse our narrow crown staples for products like Bostitch SX503522Z Galvanised Staples 22mm (5,000).
5) Plier staples
Cardboard plier staplers are designed to securely fasten heavy-duty packaging, boxes, and shipping cartons. These durable manufactured products offer massive pulling resistance to keep heavy commercial freight boxes fully secure. We have a large selection of plier staples, including Bostitch STCR501906Z Galvanised Staples 6mm (5,000).
Large flat fasteners spread the holding pressure perfectly when fixing broad canvas sheets or backing insulation panels. These heavy-duty, wide crown staples prevent harsh winds from ripping thin protective building membranes directly off the framework. An example is the 17/25mm Wide Crown Galvanised Staples (10,000).

Galv staples vs stainless steel staples
Here is how to choose the right staple finish for your next project:
Corrosion resistance differences
Standard zinc-coated wire staples use a sacrificial outer layer to shield raw underlying carbon steel from early dampness. These high-performance galvanised staples survive standard rainfall exposure brilliantly before the protective finish slowly wears thin. For coastal sites or marine environments, stainless steel staples are essential to prevent sea salt rust completely. It is a premium choice. This absolute moisture protection makes premium steel loops far superior for highly exposed seaside building structures.
Cost and application suitability
Zinc-dipped options are highly economical for standard internal lining jobs or general outdoor agricultural boundary setups. Our bulk boxes are sold at sharp trade prices to help keep your project budget down. For severe environments, spending extra on premium alloy fasteners is ideal to avoid structural breakdowns.
