Description
The Gardener Select 6-foot Green Vinyl Steel Stake provides sturdy support for plants. It has a solid steel core with a weather-proof vinyl coating that won't mar any wall. Six feet tall and 10 millimeters thick, it supports towering vines, flowers and young trees without drawing undue attention to itself in the garden.
Design and Durability
The green finish blends in with the plants, allowing the stake to go unnoticed in the garden.The inside is reinforced with steel, so it doesn’t bend under heavy loads. On the outside, the vinyl coating tends to UV rays, rain and fluctuating temperatures. This construction leads to less replacements, and more reliable support over the years.
Typical Applications
There is an easy and simple application of these stakes in the garden :
Supporting Vining Plants
Tends tomatoes, beans, and cucumbers toward upward growth. Vines are kept from the ground by attaching the main stem to the stake. This enhances air circulation and light for healthier, more productive plants.
Guiding Young Trees and Shrubs
Promotes tall, straight growth. Newly planted trees might sway to and fro in the wind. A stake placed next to the trunk holds the tree steady while its roots get established.
Holding Up Decorative Flowers
It maintains tidy and tall blooms. Flowers like peonies, gladiolus and delphiniums are particularly prone to drooping under the weight of their own blossoms. These stakes prop up stems so flowers remain standing tall and looking good.
Installation Tips
Simple processes for stunning outcomes:
- Pick the Right Spot: Place the stake slightly outside of the plant’s root system so users don’t damage it.
- Insert Securely: Push or tap the stake at least two feet into the soil for a firm hold.
- Tie Carefully: Tie the flowering stems gently with soft garden ties just below the spur points. Give a bit of room for the plant to grow.
- Check Regularly: Review bonds monthly, and lift them as the plant grows to prevent it from cutting into the stems.
Packaging and Value
These stakes are available separately and in multi-packs. A 10-Pack is generally only about twelve bucks, so that is a very reasonable price for each steak. Large orders are eligible for free shipping or discounts, providing even more value.
Every stake comes in a no-nonsense, protective bag that ensures the vinyl finish scratch-free. Extra stakes on hand ensure the gardener is ready for new plantings.
Environmental and Safety Notes
The steel core and vinyl coating are durable and will not break if they pull too hard on the stake while setting up the fence. The vinyl is free of lead and UV resistant. When the stakes have reached the end of their life, they can be recycled where facilities accept mixed metals and plastics. Always adhere to recycling rules in the area.
