Why Choose 3.6mm Artificial Grass Pins?
3.6mm U-pins offer the perfect balance between strength and ease of installation.
Ideal for:
- Standard domestic artificial grass projects
- Compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base (20–40mm)
- Most residential gardens
- Perimeter fixing and internal stabilising
- Securing artificial grass joints
If you are unsure which thickness to choose, 3.6mm is the safest and most versatile option.
Product Specification
- Diameter: 3.6mm
- Type: Galvanised steel U-pin
- Pack Size: 100 pins
- Corrosion Resistant: Yes
- Suitable for: Domestic & light commercial installs
Manufactured from galvanised steel to resist rust and withstand UK weather conditions.
How Many 3.6mm Pins Do I Need?
As a general installation guide:
- Perimeter: 1 pin every 200mm
- Internal area: 1 pin per m²
- Joints: 1 pin every 200mm along seams
For a typical 30–40m² lawn, one pack is usually sufficient. Larger areas may require multiple packs.
3mm vs 3.6mm vs 4mm – What’s the Difference?
- 3mm → Softer ground & lighter installs
- 3.6mm → Standard domestic sub-base (most popular)
- 4mm → Hard ground & maximum holding strength
For most UK garden installations, 3.6mm provides ideal long-term stability.
Where Should 3.6mm Pins Be Used?
Perimeter Fixing
Install around the edges of your lawn at 200mm intervals if not using timber or composite edging.
Internal Stabilising
Add one pin per square metre to prevent movement over time.
Joint Reinforcement
Secure joins every 200mm using joint tape and adhesive for a professional finish.
Will These Rust?
No. These pins are galvanised for corrosion resistance and are suitable for long-term outdoor use.
Installation Tips
- Lay the artificial grass in position and secure one end first.
- Tension and stretch the artificial grass using a carpet kicker for a tight, professional finish.
- Work around the perimeter at 200mm intervals. Take care not to trap grass fibres when driving the pins into the ground.
- Add internal stabilising pins.
- Brush fibres upright to conceal pin heads.
When installed correctly, the pins remain discreet and virtually invisible.
