Rhinails Smooth Shank Galvanized Fence Staples are U-shaped wire fasteners designed for securing fencing wire, mesh netting, and agricultural enclosures to wooden posts. Available in 28mm, 33mm, and 40mm lengths, these staples feature a smooth, non-textured shank that drives easily into timber and can be removed cleanly without splintering the wood — a critical advantage for temporary fencing, seasonal setups, and projects requiring future adjustments.
The galvanized steel construction provides a protective zinc layer that resists rust and corrosion in humid barns, coastal farms, and prolonged outdoor exposure. Unlike ring shank or threaded variants that lock permanently into wood fibers, smooth shank staples offer the flexibility to reposition or replace sections of fencing without damaging surrounding timber — making them the preferred choice for vineyard trellises, prototype enclosures, and hardware reuse scenarios.

Download CatalogThe smooth shank design is purposefully engineered for situations where permanent fixation is not required. While ring shank staples bite into wood fibers for irreversible holding power, and threaded staples screw into timber for enhanced grip, smooth shank staples prioritize installation flexibility. They can be driven in with a standard hammer and pulled out cleanly when the fencing needs to be repositioned, replaced, or dismantled — without leaving splintered wood or broken fiber trails.
This makes them especially valuable for:
Seasonal fencing — vineyard trellises, garden mesh, and poultry netting that require annual repositioning
Temporary enclosures — livestock pens, construction site barriers, and test installations
Electrical wire routing — securing wires to wooden beams with easy future access for upgrades or repairs
Hardware reuse — staples can be salvaged and reused in new installations, reducing material costs
Every Rhinails smooth shank fence staple is manufactured from high-carbon steel wire with a continuous zinc coating applied through the galvanization process. This zinc layer serves as a sacrificial barrier — it corrodes preferentially to protect the underlying steel, even when the staple is partially embedded in moist wood or exposed to rain, humidity, and soil contact. The result is a fastener that maintains structural integrity across seasons of outdoor service.
For projects in especially corrosive environments (coastal salt spray, acidic soil, or high-humidity barns), the zinc coating provides years of reliable performance before any steel degradation begins. When combined with the smooth shank's easy removal capability, these staples offer an economical and maintenance-friendly solution for fencing projects that span multiple seasons.
Choosing the right staple length depends on the wood post thickness and wire diameter you are securing:
28mm — Best for thin wooden battens, garden mesh frames, and lightweight poultry netting where minimal penetration depth is needed
33mm — The most versatile option, suitable for standard fence posts (50–80mm thickness) with medium-gauge wire or mesh
40mm — Designed for thick hardwood posts, heavy-gauge barbed wire, and high-tension fencing where deeper embedment ensures stability
All three lengths feature a consistent U-shaped crown width that accommodates wire diameters up to 8mm, and a chisel-point tip that penetrates hardwood without splitting. Rhinails offers custom length combinations and bulk packaging to match your specific project requirements — contact us for tailored quotes.
Rhinails has been manufacturing industrial fasteners for over three decades, supplying fence staples, pneumatic staples, brad nails, and coil nails to distributors and contractors worldwide. Our vertically integrated production — from wire drawing to galvanization to forming and packaging — ensures consistent dimensional accuracy, reliable zinc coating thickness, and competitive factory-direct pricing. Every batch undergoes length, crown width, and coating thickness inspection before shipment.

Ring shank staples feature concentric rings that lock into wood fibers for permanent, irreversible holding power. Choose smooth shank for temporary or adjustable fencing, and ring shank for permanent installations subject to high tension or livestock pressure.
Rhinails offers smooth shank galvanized fence staples in three lengths: 28mm (for thin battens and lightweight mesh), 33mm (standard fence posts with medium wire), and 40mm (thick hardwood posts with heavy-gauge wire). Custom length combinations are available for bulk orders — contact us with your requirements.
Standard MOQ varies by packaging format (bulk bags, boxed, or custom-labeled). For sample orders and trial quantities, we offer flexible minimums to help you evaluate product quality before committing to larger volumes. Contact us for MOQ details specific to your packaging preference and destination.
Smooth shank fence staples are hammer-driven — position the staple over the wire at the post surface, then strike the crown with a hammer until the legs are fully embedded. For high-volume installation, manual or pneumatic staple guns designed for fence staples can also be used. Contact us with your tool model number for compatibility confirmation.
