Peace of mind, especially in bad weather. – Cheryl R., ★★★★★ These Y-Beam stakes are the largest and strongest that we have. The 7-inch length and large diameter give them excellent holding power. These are difficult to bend. They are strong enough to withstand being hammered or pounded with a rock, however the top end may get chewed up so we would still recommend avoiding hammering. If the ground is too firm, turn them sideways and anchor them with a rock. These are bright blue, which makes them hard to lose. They have a cord on the end to make it easy to pull them out of the ground.
