7/8'' Asphalt Plug

7/8 Inch Asphalt Plug for Post Installation Surface Restoration

7/8 Inch Asphalt Plug is a site restoration accessory used after tent removal from paved surfaces. Designed to reduce surface wear and help manage water intrusion, this plug fills stake holes left in asphalt, blacktop, or pavement following teardown. By occupying the void left by the stake, the plug helps limit water collection that can contribute to surface degradation over time.

Commonly used by event rental companies and professional install crews, the 7/8 inch size is intended for stake holes with a diameter around 1 inch. Selecting the closest plug size to the hole diameter supports a tighter fit and more effective displacement.

Why Asphalt Plugs Matter After Teardown

When tents are anchored into paved surfaces, stake holes can allow water to collect below grade after removal. Over time, trapped water may accelerate wear in asphalt or pavement. Installing asphalt plugs immediately after teardown helps reduce this risk by filling the hole and limiting water entry, supporting better surface preservation between events.

Key Features

• Designed to fill stake holes in asphalt, blacktop, and pavement
• Helps reduce water collection after tent removal
• 7/8 inch diameter suited for holes around 1 inch
• Simple, tool-based installation
• Compact and lightweight for easy transport and storage

How to Use the 7/8 Inch Asphalt Plug

Step 1: Verify Hole Size

Measure the diameter of the stake hole left in the surface. The 7/8 inch plug should be used for holes approximately 1 inch in diameter. Choosing the closest size supports a secure fit.

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 solid base and helps position the plug correctly.

Step 3: Insert the Plug

Place the asphalt plug into the hole, ensuring it is aligned straight and seated evenly at the surface.

Step 4: Drive the Plug into Place

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

Step 5: Inspect the Surface

Confirm the plug is secure and level with the surface. Proper installation should leave no exposed void for water to collect.

Usage Notes

The 7/8 Inch Asphalt Plug is intended for post-installation surface restoration only. 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. Proper use helps reduce water intrusion and supports longer-term maintenance of paved event sites after repeated tent installations and teardowns.
