Clamp for outdoor use - what and where?

When making fastenings with staples in 'somewhat' outdoor environments, what kind of staples should be used then? For example, simplified ceilings, i.e., reinforced plastic as underlayment/condensation protection are installed with staples. Also, windproof fabric like Windy is preferably installed with staples. Admittedly, neither example is directly in a wet environment, but it still feels like outdoors. In my case, it's windproof fabric behind the panel that's relevant. What type of staples are suitable for such an environment? And where can you find something other than FZB staples?

Well, they are at least hot-dipped galvanized, but that kind of defeats the simplicity of just stapling them in place. On a horizontal and very small area, maybe it's okay. But vertically, while holding a larger sheet in place, it's not practical, at least not by yourself.MaZtoR said:
Does anyone have any experiences/opinions? I checked with K-rauta and they have stainless steel staples available, but it's a special order item and takes 1-2 weeks. I can't wait that long. Otherwise, I'd probably go for a regular FZB staple with a wide back.
