Which is the best staple gun to use?

[Judith2]

Hi- I’m restoring an old wooden room divider, and would like to cover one side of it with fabric over batting, to give it a bit of softness.

I’m guessing the simplest way to attach the batting and then the fabric will be using staples, and then covering the staples with a line of ribbon- but I’d certainly appreciate any suggestions on the best approach!

if a staple gun is the way to go, which type should I rent from Bunnings?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Cheers,

Judith

Hi @Judith2,

If you were going to cover the staples with ribbon, a staple gun sounds like the way to go, or you could use upholstery nails. 

I recommend you go for either a heavy-duty staple gun or an electric Ozito 8-14mm Stapler Nail Gun. The heavy-duty nail gun requires some hand force to fire, so if you need to fix a couple dozen staples, the electric option would be quite convenient.

We don't currently offer a stapler for hire.

We'd love to see your project when you're done.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Mitchell- I appreciate the tip about using an electric staple gun- there will be more than a few staple involved!

sorry to hear Bunnings doesn’t rent them out! 
Best Wishes,
