High-Carbon Rail Steel Stakes

  • Do not be fooled by cold-formed steel products that may look similar. Standard low-carbon cold formed angles do not have comparable strength, and they will deteriorate rapidly. Nothing compares to the strength and longevity of high carbon rail steel.
  • *Lengths available:

    We normally inventory both 8' and 10' lengths. However, we will be happy to custom run other lengths to accommodate your style. As far as recommendations on length, keep in mind your intended purpose. Are you looking for support on trees already producing, or will you be tree training in addition to support? If you are merely "fixing" an old problem and just need to pull leaning trees back up, the 8' stake will do the trick. If you are starting young trees, there is a good chance that you will want to tie the leader up, tie the limbs down, and possibly tie up the heavy bearing "droopers". For this purpose, tree training with the fabricated 10' Best Angle stake is the most efficient system we have found.
  • Best Angle Tree Stakes offer a full line of different sized high-carbon rail steel stakes to accommodate your needs. Our stakes are formed into the familiar shape of "angle iron". We offer very small angles, 3/4" x 3/4", up to very large and super strong angles of 2" x 1-1/2".

Poly-Tubing

Fabrication Standards:

Holes are punched on 2" centers on one leg.   Starting  2" from the top of the stake with two 5/16" round holes, followed by a single  5/8" x  5/16" oblong hole, the hole pattern repeats down the stake.

From the bottom there is a 5/16" round hole at 24" and another at 30" to assure depth uniformity during installation. (No fabrication) means no holes,  no paint.
