NHZ 16” Ground Rebar Stakes (8pcs) Heavy Duty J Hook Ground Anchors, Curved Steel Plant Support Garden Stake with Chisel Point end, Hammer Through Hard Soil for Camping Tent - Black Powder Coated

Using to stabilize Arbor.

Great. Well made. Solid.

These stakes are very heavy duty and worked perfect for holding our outdoor gazebo down. They went into the ground well with the use of a mallet. I was impressed with the material they are made out of and I expect these to last me for many years. These were a great value and I would recommend and order again.

We bought a 6 ft. wire-framed Xmas tree (with a bazillion led lights on it). We wanted to ensure this lovely Xmas tree display wouldn't blow away during high wind gusts, so these sturdy 16" long rebar stakes was just the ticket. We anchored six of the eight stakes at the base & the timing was perfect as a storm came through. Tree didn't budge. This is the way to go--- tent stakes don't cut it.... 16" long stakes should be a minimum to secure things that will withstand wind gusts. We also used the last 2 stakes to secure the base of a shepherd hook that a hummingbird feeder hangs from. Good value when each stake is less than $3.00 each. They are sturdy, and may rust over time, but a little spray paint will make them look new again.

I'm getting tired of writing reviews, so we'll make this bullet points:-Nice and long, easy to stab in the ground, could use a rubber mallet if needed-once in the ground stays unless direct upward force is applied then slips out easily-I started using these as dog tieouts instead of constantly buying them, nice slim profile, means I can carry them while camping, or to a friend's house if I need to tie my dog down.-Gloss paint is annoying and rusts quickly since protective coating flakes off.-The "J" is more of a "U" and I love that since I usually bury this in the ground past the U which gives the tie out extra security.-I also like that the "U" is not too big but not too small either could get a nice 1in PVC pipe in there.HEAVILY RECOMMEND THESE.

we get very high winds here over the winter months. last year we went a couple times with wind events that had gusts over 100mph. between car covers and tarps that the wind would rip the other stakes out of the ground i was tired of dealing with it.years ago i made the mistake of hammering a piece of rebar into the ground to use as a temporary stake. at the end of the season i tried without success to pull the thing out of the ground but it wouldn't budge. after three decades that rebar is still there and likely will be forever.so when i saw these i thought rebar style so they won't come out of the ground. i ordered them and had them in place and then last week we got hit by the first 'Derecho' wind event we have ever had here. i had staked the car cover down using these and even with gusts to 85mph it didn't budge one bit!if you want stakes that will stay put and last these are the ones to get IMHO. i couldn't be happier with the results.

Worked great for what I needed them for

I purchased a carport canopy that had flimsy nylon tie downs with insufficient staking. First Noreaster and it was going to blow down for sure. I purchased some SS cable and some of these. It is now very stable and withstood a strong wind storm. The stakes held without any pull-out. Buying more.
