Can these stakes be used for plants other than climbers?
While primarily designed for climbing plants, they can also be used as general support stakes for moderately tall, non-vining plants if needed.
Are the stakes suitable for outdoor use year-round?
Yes, they are weather-proofed for all-year-round support.
How do I create a tee-pee support structure?

What are the dimensions of a single stake?
The dimensions are Diameter 1.6 cm x Height 180 cm.
Troubleshooting
Stake is wobbly after insertion
Ensure the stake is inserted deep enough into the soil. If the ground is very hard, moisten the soil slightly or use a rubber mallet to gently tap the stake further in.
Plants are not gripping the stakes well
Gently tie the plant's stem to the stake with soft plant ties to provide initial support. As the plant grows, the ridged surface should offer better grip.
Coating appears scratched or damaged
Minor scratches are unlikely to affect performance. However, if significant damage occurs, consider applying a waterproof sealant to prevent rust on the exposed steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply insert the stakes firmly into the ground near the base of your plant. For tee-pee structures, arrange four stakes in a circle or square and tie them together at the top. Ensure the stakes are stable before relying on them to support plant weight.
Compatibility: These stakes are compatible with most common climbing plants and vegetables. They are suitable for use in garden beds, large pots, or directly in the ground. Their green color blends naturally with garden foliage.
Care: Clean the stakes with a damp cloth after use to remove soil and debris. Store them in a dry place during the off-season to prolong their lifespan. The weather-proof coating is designed for durability, but avoiding prolonged contact with harsh chemicals is recommended.
