The Garden Gear Machine Rounded Tanalised Wooden Pointed Tree Stake is an essential tool for gardeners, landscapers, and agricultural workers looking for reliable support for young trees and fencing. These stakes provide the heavy-duty stability needed to protect plants from wind damage and ensure secure boundary installations. While they are highly durable due to the pressure-treatment process, users should note that they are sold as a two-pack, which may require multiple purchases for larger fencing or orchard projects.

Tanalised refers to a pressure-treatment process that infuses the timber with preservatives to provide long-lasting protection against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack.
Yes, they can be cut using a standard wood saw. If you cut the stake, it is recommended to apply a wood preservative to the exposed raw wood to maintain rot resistance.
For tree support, it is generally recommended that at least one-third of the total stake length should be buried in the ground to ensure stability.
They are ideal for light fencing such as rabbit netting or garden borders, but for heavy-duty livestock fencing, thicker fence posts may be required.
Each stake has a 50mm diameter, providing a sturdy profile for various garden support tasks.
Use a pilot bar to create a lead hole, or ensure the soil is slightly damp to soften the ground.
Use a wooden mallet rather than a metal hammer to strike the stake, and ensure the blows are centered on the chamfered top.
Installation requires only a mallet or a heavy hammer. For best results in hard or clay-heavy soils, use a pilot bar or post-hole digger to create an initial hole, making it easier to drive the stake to the required depth. While the tanalised treatment protects the wood, you can further extend the life of the stakes by applying a wood preservative to the cut end if you choose to trim the stake for a specific project. Store unused stakes in a dry, well-ventilated area off the ground to prevent moisture accumulation before installation. Regularly inspect secured trees to ensure that the ties used between the stake and the tree are not rubbing or damaging the bark.
