Playa Staples
The Iron Monkeys are raising some money for our 2010 Burning Man project "The Crossroads".
Many groups throw parties or awesome events in order to raise money. We, however, are good at making things. We thought that making something that will last for years and save a foot or two from impalement would be a good way for us to raise our capital.
We are selling Playa Staples.
Playa Staples are hand-forged, square stock steel tapered to points at each end and bent into a 'candy cane' shape. When hammered into the ground they lay flush with the playa and will not trip or skewer people like that unsafe rebar stuff. They enter the playa easily and stay secure until it's time to go. Playa Staples are removed quickly and simply by levering them straight up. They've been around since 2003 and are time tested and burner approved (with over 4000 made and sold in that time - over 2000 in 2009).
There are two sizes
Regular Playa Staples are roughly 10" on one side and 6" on the other, with 1-1/2" spacing in the center, and are made with 3/8" square stock. These are best for tents, carports and smaller structures.
Large Playa Staples are roughly 15" on one side and 8" on the other, with 2" spacing in the center, made with 1/2" square stock. These staples are designed for use on large structures (domes or tie downs for things that require a more solid anchor).
If you have any questions please let me know. Special orders (sizes and styles) are available. I will accept cash, check and CC via Paypal.
