Product Description
1-1/2″ × 9ga Galvanized Knurled Fencing Staples — Bekaert, 1 lb Bag or 50 lb Box
- Better Hold in Wood — Knurled (grooved) legs bite into fibers for superior pull-out resistance vs. smooth staples
- Drives Cleanly — Sharp edges penetrate posts with less splitting and fewer rebounds
- Class 3 Galvanized — Heavy zinc coating for long outdoor life on farm, field, and perimeter fences
- Made in the USA — Bekaert quality wire for consistent performance
- Two Pack Sizes — Choose a 1 lb bag for repairs or a 50 lb box for full projects
These Bekaert 1-1/2″ × 9 gauge knurled fencing staples are a go-to for fastening fencing to wood posts—from barbed wire and smooth wire to field/woven wire and welded wire. The knurled leg pattern grips wood fibers to resist backing out, while the Class 3 galvanized coating helps the staple stand up to weather. Grab a 1 lb bag for quick fixes or stock a 50 lb contractor box for new builds and long stretches.
Why Choose This
- High retention — Grooved legs reduce loosening from wind, livestock pressure, and temperature movement
- Pro finish — Class 3 galvanizing outlasts common Class 1 coatings
- Versatile — Works on line, brace, and corner posts across farm & field fence types
- Right-sized packs — Keep a small bag on the truck or buy the big box for long runs

Installation
For softwoods, drive staples at a slight diagonal to the wire and across the grain for better bite. In hardwoods, pre-drill small pilot holes to minimize splitting. Do not crush the wire—leave a credit-card gap under the staple so the fence can move with temperature and livestock pressure. Use T-post clips—not staples—on metal T-posts.
Buying Guide

- Pack size: Choose a 1 lb bag for small repairs and a 50 lb box for new builds or long stretches.
- Wood type: In dense hardwoods, pre-drill pilots; in softwoods, angle the staple for maximum hold.

- Are these stainless?
- No, they’re Class 3 galvanized steel. Choose galvanized for most farm & field applications.
- Can I use these on metal posts?
- No—use T-post clips on metal T-posts. Staples are for wood posts.
- Will the galvanizing prevent rust forever?
- Galvanizing greatly extends service life, but any zinc-coated steel can corrode over time in harsh conditions.
- What fences are these best for?
- Barbed wire, smooth wire, and field/woven wire attached to wood posts; also common on braces and corners.
Comparison
| Option | Strengths | Considerations | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knurled (this item) | Grooved legs for superior hold; Class 3 galvanized | Slightly higher cost than smooth | Wood posts on farm & field fences |
| Smooth Galvanized Staples | Economical and widely available | Lower pull-out resistance in some woods | Light-duty fencing, non-critical areas |
| Barbed-Leg Staples | Aggressive holding in very hard or weathered posts | Harder to remove/adjust once driven | High-pressure corners & braces |
| T-Post Clips | Purpose-built for metal T-posts | Not for wood posts | Fences on steel T-posts |
