Why Gator Base Screws?

The Fastener That Locks Gator Edge to Gator Base

A paver field is only as good as its perimeter. Without a fastened edge the outer courses creep, the joints open and the whole patio starts to spread. These are the screws Alliance specifies for that job.

Why Contractors Ask for Gator Base Screws by Name

Gator Base Screws Specifications

Pack size 50 screws per package, 20 packages per box
Type 1/8 in LD hollow anchor
Compatible with All Gator Edge types: Rigid, Flex, Mini and Tile
Usage rate One screw at every second hole, plus every edge junction
Required for All Gator Base installations

Alliance specifies one screw at every second hole in the edge, plus one at every junction. Count your perimeter linear footage against your edging's hole spacing, and add a pack, running short at the last corner is a genuinely annoying way to end a day.

  • Every Gator Base panel installation
  • Fastening Gator Edge Rigid and Flex
  • Fastening Gator Edge Mini
  • Fastening Gator Tile Edge

Where Gator Base Screws Should NOT Be Used (Straight From the Manufacturer)

No restrictions are published beyond the intended use, which is fastening Gator Edge to Gator Base.

Alliance does not publish the screw length, diameter or material. If you need those figures for a specification, call us and we will get them from Alliance directly rather than guess.

Not sure if your project qualifies? Call us at (856) 418-4895 before you order. We will give you a straight answer, even if the answer is that this is not the right product for your job.
