Choose Staples That Match How the Furniture Will Be Used
If your furniture will be exposed to humidity, outdoor conditions, or requires frequent cleaning, stainless steel upholstery staples are a good option. These staples help prevent rust stains on fabric edges, which is especially important for items that might get wet, such as patio cushions, boat seats, or porch furniture. For lighter fabrics, using fine wire upholstery staples ensures a neat hold with less visible fastening.
Galvanized upholstery staples are a suitable choice for indoor furniture, where rust is less of a concern. If your stapler requires a specific type, Bostitch upholstery staples offer smooth operation. For more demanding environments, choosing our stainless steel upholstery staples will help keep your furniture clean and durable.

How to determine staple size for upholstery application
In choosing the proper staple leg length for a job, there are two basic things to consider: thickness of material to be stapled and hardness of the wood.
As a general rule, in hardwood, approximately 3/16” to 1/4” penetration into the wood is sufficient, and for softwood – up to approximately 3/8” should be sufficient. The upholstery staple gun staple should be flush with the underlying surface. However, if the staple used is not flush with the underlying surface, – we recommend the next shorter leg length for desired results.
