Sturdy Metal Garden Stakes 5 Ft Plastic Coated Steel Plant Sticks for Tomatoes,Trees,Cucumber,Fences,Beans,Pack of 25

I got these because they were the length and diameter I wanted as well as inexpensive. They work fine and are useful, also fit the accessories I purchased; clips and connectors. This could be user error, that I didn't put them deep enough or didn't secure them enough to the plants, but if you need support for large plants that get blow around by the wind, these didn't hold up. I used them with large sunflowers and they couldn't stop the wind from bending the stalks. The metal inside is a thin piece, not a round bar of steel. The product worked as intended, just isn't built for heavy duty use. They are working fine as a trellis frame for some thinner plants, frame for a sun cover and as tomato supports. A positive of the metal being thin is they are easy to cut to size.

Stake garden plants with ease and durability. At first I thought they would be too tall but have to consider staking them into ground. good height for tomatoes, I used them for gladiolus and VERY tall hydrangeas that needed support so I’m glad I had the taller stakes. nicely coated in green civering so they blend in nicely with garden without looking so obvious. Strong enough for large plants

Light weight easy to use

Great stake for my tomato plants in my verticals garden.

Heavy duty and great

Great product. Used to net apple trees in front of house and being coated they didn’t look intrusive.

Worked well for the job

I have been looking for some garden stakes that I could use for my grow bags on my deck. I have had to get a little creative in growing tomatoes because the deer in my city are everywhere and eat everything. Each year I try to use defensive measures to keep the deer from eating my tomato plants. The grow bags were highly effective and the garden stakes were a huge part of the success.These stakes are hollow but entirely enclosed. I was sure to get the tallest stakes since you always need them to be longer. There is a plastic coating round the entire stake so it will not be exposed to moisture and rust. After a good amount of thought and testing a few things out to keep the tomato vine attached to the stake, I landed on using two zip ties in partnership. I used on zip tie to attach another zip tie to the stake. This created two loops...one around the stake and another loop like a figure 8 coming off that one. The second loop allowed the tomato to grow without being too tight choking the vine and restricting the nutrients going up to the new growth. After the season I cut off all the outer zip ties that were supporting the tomato vines and discarded. I left the zip ties on the stakes that maintained their positions. I will use them again next year and thread new zip ties through each one and tie my tomatoes to the stake as they grow. I bundled all the stakes together and zip tied them at the top and one at the bottom and stored them in my garage for the winter making things neat, tidy, and ready for next growing season.
