Use the Talen Tools string pin to create a patio with a clean, precise finish. In the construction and masonry trades, string pins are an indispensable reference point for laying stones and tiles with precision. Thread the string through the eye of this string pin. Make sure to tension the masonry cord or layout string sufficiently between the various string pins. Only when taut do these strings serve as a useful reference point. Thanks to the wide O-shaped head, it’s also possible to thread slightly wider rope through these string pins. With a height of 60 centimeters, this string pin can be used at various heights—close to the ground, but also a bit higher. Vary the height when stretching the guide wires so that you have the flexibility to adjust the height during installation.
Strong metal stake The stake is made of powder-coated metal. This coating makes the steel stronger and better protected against the elements. This means you can use the wire stake all year round. To ensure the metal stays in good condition for a long time, we recommend thoroughly cleaning and drying the wire stakes after use. Doing so will also keep the tip of the wire stake sharp for longer. The sharper the tip, the more easily the wire stake penetrates the ground. This makes driving the wire stake into the ground less tiring.
Determining the Paving Area Don’t want to hire a paver? A good start is half the battle. During preparation, make sure to plan out your paving area carefully. When you do this, place the string stakes at the ends of your paving area. Tighten the string so you have a clear and straight reference line when laying the patio tiles or stones for the garden path. If you vary the elevation slightly, this often results in better drainage. If you want to work like a pro, this professional tool from Talen Tools is a must-have.
