Allotments 4 All

Can anyone tell me the name of the metal spikes with a shepherds crook  top which are used to tape off road works?  I would like some to hold up the hose pipe on my plot.   A fellow plot holders idea.  Only if they are not too expensive.

We call them pig irons...but I think what you are after are called fencing pins

Yes.  Thanks both.  Have ordered some.

Just got a dozen myself from Jewsons £2 each, lamp pins, road pins, pig irons any name will get you some. Just watch you do not bang them in over any underground services.
