1 1/8'' Asphalt Plug

1 1/8 Inch Asphalt Plug for Stake Hole Repair and Surface Protection

1 1/8 Inch Asphalt Plug is a post-installation surface repair accessory used after tent teardown on paved sites. Designed for asphalt, pavement, and blacktop, this plug fills stake holes left behind by anchoring hardware and helps reduce erosion by displacing water that may otherwise collect below the surface.

This larger asphalt plug size is intended for stake holes with a wider diameter. Selecting the plug closest to the hole size supports a tighter fit and more effective water displacement. Commonly used by event rental companies and professional install crews, asphalt plugs are a practical step in restoring paved surfaces after temporary structures are removed.

Why Asphalt Plugs Matter After Tent Teardown

Stake holes in paved surfaces can allow water to pool below grade, which may accelerate wear and deterioration over time. Installing an asphalt plug immediately after teardown helps reduce this risk by filling the void and limiting water intrusion. For venues and rental operations that host frequent events, this simple step supports better long-term surface maintenance.

Key Features

• Designed to repair stake holes in asphalt, pavement, and blacktop
• Helps reduce erosion by displacing water in stake holes
• 1 1/8 inch diameter for larger stake hole applications
• Simple installation using basic hand tools
• Compact and lightweight for easy transport and storage

How to Use the 1 1/8 Inch Asphalt Plug

Step 1: Measure the Stake Hole

Measure the diameter of the stake hole created during installation. Always choose the asphalt plug closest to the hole diameter for the best fit and performance.

Step 2: Prepare the Hole

If the stake hole is deeper than the length of the plug, add sand to partially fill the hole. This creates a stable base and helps position the plug at the correct depth.

Step 3: Insert the Plug

Place the 1 1/8 inch asphalt plug into the hole, keeping it straight and centered to ensure even seating.

Step 4: Drive the Plug into Place

Using a hammer or the head of a stake, gently pound the plug into the hole until it is fully seated and flush with the surrounding surface.

Step 5: Inspect the Surface

Confirm that the plug is secure and level with the pavement. Proper installation should leave no exposed void where water can collect.

Usage Notes

The 1 1/8 Inch Asphalt Plug is intended for post-installation surface repair following tent teardown. Always measure stake holes before selecting a plug size to ensure proper fit. When holes are deeper than the plug length, use sand to create a stable base prior to installation. Correct use helps reduce water intrusion, limits erosion, and supports longer service life for paved event sites exposed to repeated anchoring.
