Garden Stakes 30 Inches Steel Plant Stakes Tomato Stakes Pack of 25

Very sturdy and will work great for my garden!

For my needs, these were perfect. I installed some temporary plastic fencing to keep my dogs out of a newly seeded section of my lawn. However, I'm not sure these would hold up to much force, and I do know pounding them into hard ground is futile. Most of my yard was relatively soft at the time, but when pounding into the harder sections, I had to be very careful not to bend the poles. They bend very easily, and you're going to lose most of the caps when you pull them out of the ground (no biggie I suppose). For my needs, or to put up something light weight like garden fencing, chicken wire, etc. these are just fine. If you need something to be firmly in the ground and to provide durable support, find something bigger. The plastic coating held up nicely, and the ribs allowed me to use zip-ties to hold the fencing on, which worked well. All and all, a good product, and cheaper than buying them at the garden store.

Happy with Will buy again

Definitely did not use these for their intended purpose as we used them to line our yard with caution tape for Halloween. However, when being inserted into the ground you can kiss one of the caps goodbye, does not affect them. They also seem to bend relatively easily as the wind bent them slightly (likely due to wind catching the caution tape attached to them)

These stakes are so much better than the ones I've purchased from local big box stores in the past. I hammered them into the hard soil and they didn't buckle like to other ones I had purchased. They are strong and were perfect to hang shade shelters over for my low lying plants.

I try to buy in quantity, specially if I know I'll need more down the road! These usually don't last long around my house. I use them for multiple thing! I bought the 5' because at least 6" goes into the ground and I'd rather have something too tall than short! I bought these to make my tomato cages more stable. I always try to stake my cages with zip ties. In the past cages alone fall over especially with indeterminate type tomatoes that keep growing. Taking a little extra time and spending a few extra dollars keeps you from having major headaches later and damaging your plants trying to set them back up. These stakes are plastic coated and durable. I use a hard plastic mallet to get them into the ground. It's not heavy like a rubber mallet. Putting 50+ stakes in the ground can make anyone tired and sore, so I use the light weight hard plastic mallet. It also protects the stakes as well as you drive them into the ground. I also use these for a little roost for younger chickens when they are growing up in a little 4x6 tractor. I place several at different heights so they can roost and play.😉 Look at over all quality Height Diameter Amount for for your $ and always shipping cost and delivery date! Oh, and they may have different ends. I'm happy with the one I picked! Good luck!

Good for what as advertised. So not use as posts for plastic mesh fencing. In 15mph winds they bent and broke off at ground level.

good
