I had to pin down a plastic sheet over a piece of ground in my vegetable garden to keep it dry and stop weed from growing before seeding it with winter crops.
It’s a common occurrence when you take care of vegetables, flowers etc.
My dad studied gardening and practiced it his whole life. In a bucket inside my shed I’ve found a lot of pegs he left ready to be used. Thank you dad.
I’m putting this here so if I ever need to build some again I will have a quick reference on to do it. It could also be useful to someone else.
The designs
Each design uses a 5 mm iron wire. A pair of plies can be used to bend the wire roughly in shape.
Cross
This is a cross like design, its 2 horizontal arms help keeping the sheet down while the head help you push it straight and picking it up later.
Fork
The fork design it’s easier to bend, and could also be used to keep poles and stuff down too.
