exactly what it takes to firmly hold the fabric firmly. If I have occasion to use fabric again, I will buy these hold downs every time! I was satisfied with this product!

Anyplace in the yard prone to heavy weeds or where I need a path between plants or vegetables gets cardboard or paper with mulch over that. Cardboard works great for path making and I use the staples to secure the block whatever it is. This is my most common but not only use.
