Clips & Pegs

About Clips & Pegs

Clips and pegs are essential fixings for securing micro irrigation systems, keeping supply pipes, hoses and micro tubing firmly positioned throughout your garden watering setup. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of irrigation clips and pegs from trusted brands including Hozelock and Gardena, designed to prevent pipe movement, sagging or displacement that could compromise system efficiency. From micro drip pipe pegs and high spikes to wall clips and ratchet clamps, these small but vital accessories ensure reliable, long-term performance for both professional landscaping projects and domestic garden irrigation.

Whether you're installing a greenhouse drip feed system, securing supply lines along borders, or anchoring end-line sprinklers in soft soil, the right clips and pegs make all the difference. Modern irrigation fixings are UV-stabilised to withstand outdoor conditions including sunlight exposure, temperature fluctuations and constant moisture, whilst remaining quick to install and easy to adjust as your garden layout evolves.

Choosing The Right Clips & Pegs

Start by identifying your pipe diameter – most micro irrigation systems use either 4mm micro tubing or 13mm supply hose, and your clips must match these dimensions for secure fitting. Consider your soil type when selecting stakes; sandy or loose soils require longer spikes for adequate anchoring depth, whilst dense clay provides better grip with shorter, reinforced pegs.

For pipes running along fences, walls or greenhouse frames, wall clips provide neat, professional installations that protect pipework from damage. Ground-level applications need robust stakes that penetrate soil without bending. Ratchet clamps offer excellent versatility when adjustable tension is required or if you need to reposition pipes as plants grow. Brand compatibility matters – Hozelock and Gardena accessories are engineered to work perfectly with their respective system components, ensuring proper fit and reducing leak risks. MyToolShed.co.uk recommends choosing UV-stabilised materials from established manufacturers for longevity and consistent performance season after season.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many clips or pegs do I need for my irrigation system?

Secure supply hose every 500mm to 750mm along straight runs, and within 100mm of bends or junctions. For micro tubing, spacing can extend to approximately 1 metre intervals, but increase density in windy locations or on slopes where movement is more likely.

Can I reuse clips and pegs when reconfiguring my layout?

Quality clips and pegs from brands stocked at MyToolShed.co.uk are designed for multiple uses. Wall clips can be unscrewed and repositioned, whilst ratchet clamps release easily for adjustments. Ground stakes typically remain functional for several seasons if handled carefully during removal.

Do I need different pegs for hard ground versus soft soil?

Yes – longer, robust spikes work best for sandy or loose soils where anchoring depth provides stability. For hard or compacted ground, shorter pegs with reinforced points penetrate more easily, though you may need pilot holes in very hard soil to avoid bending the stakes.
