FAQs

How long will the stakes last?

The galvanised steel construction provides long-lasting durability, often extending the life of your fence for several years, depending on environmental factors.

What tools do I need?

You'll need a hammer, screwdriver (or drill), and potentially a shovel or post-hole digger for preparation.

Can these stakes be used on metal posts?

No, these stakes are designed for use with wooden fence posts only.

Are screws included?

Yes, screws are included in the package.

How do I measure for the correct size?

The stakes are 72cm long, with 31cm above ground. Ensure this length is suitable for your fence and the ground conditions.

What if the ground is very hard?

Pre-digging a small pilot hole can help. Also, consider using a heavier hammer.

Can I paint the stakes?

While the galvanised finish is weather-resistant, you can paint the stakes with an exterior paint suitable for metal for aesthetic purposes.

Troubleshooting

Stake is difficult to hammer into the ground.

Try pre-digging a pilot hole or using a sledgehammer for assistance. Ensure the ground is not overly rocky.

Stake does not provide enough support.

Ensure the stake is hammered deep enough and screwed securely to the post. For severely damaged posts, consider adding a second stake or replacing the post.

Rust appears on the stake.

Clean the rust with a wire brush and apply a rust-resistant coating to protect the galvanised steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clear away any debris around the base of the damaged post. Ensure the ground is level where the stake will be hammered in.
  2. Assembly: Screw the two halves of the stake together.
  3. Installation: Position the assembled stake next to the damaged post. Hammer the stake into the ground, ensuring it's firmly in place. The stake should be aligned with the post.
  4. Attachment: Screw the stake to the wooden post using appropriate screws. (Note: Screws are included)

Compatibility:
