How to attach green tree webbing to timber garden stakes?

[learntofix]

In recent heavy winds our 2m high Pittosporum trees have leaned forward quite a bit

. I bought 25x 25mm x 1500mm tall timber stakes and heavy duty tree webbing. I dont want to spend on a staple gun (reviews say the cheapest one keeps jamming). Suggestions please for a reliable way to fasten webbing to the stakes.

Or maybe i should use the non heavy duty webbing- it is narrower and can be tied instead of stapled. 

Thank you .

Hi @learntofix,

Apologies for the slow reply. Our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. expert Mitch wasn't able to be on the site over the weekend so we are a little behind on our replies. 

Let me tag the ever-helpful @Noelle and @mich1972 for their thoughts on ensuring your trees have the support they need without suffering any damage.

Thanks,

Jason

Good morning @learntofix Im not sure which one you are talking about. If possible when you have time, can you please share a couple of pictures of the webbing you have. Thank you 😊

Hi @learntofix,

Are you not able to tie the heavy-duty webbing? You could potentially pop a few small screws through it into the stake if tieing is not an option and you don't want to purchase a staple gun. There are staple nails, but they would be hard to hammer into an upright hardwood garden stake.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
