Product Information
Full details
This guide is for gardeners looking for versatile and durable stakes to support plants and create borders. The key benefit is the ability to easily secure plants and structures in your garden with the pre-treated softwood. However, these stakes are 30cm high, so they are best suited for smaller plants and lighter-duty applications.

Troubleshooting
Stake is difficult to insert into the ground.
Soak the ground with water or use a tool to create a pilot hole before inserting the stake. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the stake into the ground.
Stake is unstable and wobbly.
Ensure the stake is inserted deep enough into the ground. If necessary, use additional stakes for extra support or choose a different placement.
Stake rots or shows signs of decay.
Inspect your stakes regularly and apply a wood preservative to extend the lifespan, especially in damp conditions. Replace any damaged stakes promptly.
