Designed for gardeners, landscapers, and agricultural workers, these Garden Gear stakes provide a robust support solution for young saplings, fencing, and protective netting. Their primary benefit is long-term stability and resistance to environmental degradation thanks to professional-grade pressure treatment. A notable caveat for users is that the 50mm diameter is best suited for lighter applications or young trees, and may require thicker alternatives for mature or heavy-canopy specimens.

Tanalised is a professional pressure-treatment process that forces preservative chemicals deep into the wood to prevent rot and decay.
These are ideal for light garden fencing or rabbit netting, but may be too thin for high-tension livestock fencing.
For optimal stability, we recommend driving them at least one-third of the total stake length into the ground.
The stakes are pre-treated, so no immediate treatment is required. However, coating the buried portion can add extra years of protection.
The preservative used is industry-standard for outdoor timber. If concerned, use a barrier like a plastic sleeve between the stake and edible plants.
Use a pilot hole tool or a heavy steel crowbar to create a starting hole before driving the stake.
Use a wooden block between the mallet and the stake, or use a specialized post-driving cap to distribute the impact force.
To install, use a heavy-duty mallet or a post rammer to drive the pointed end into the soil. Avoid striking the top directly with a metal hammer to prevent mushrooming or splitting of the timber. While the tanalised treatment is effective, applying an additional wood preservative to the base before installation can further extend the product's lifespan. These stakes are fully compatible with standard plastic tree ties and wire fencing mesh. Inspect annually to ensure the tree ties have not become too tight as the plant grows.
