Faq

What makes these stakes better for concrete forms than standard stakes?

Their extra width is the key advantage. At 3 inches wide, they provide significantly more surface area and rigidity than standard 2-inch stakes. This superior strength is critical for resisting the immense pressure of wet concrete and preventing costly form blowouts.

What is the best wood for construction stakes?

A strong, durable wood like Douglas Fir is the best choice for construction. It resists splitting when driven into compacted ground and has the necessary strength for high-stress jobs, unlike softer pine stakes which are prone to breaking.

When would I need a 36-inch stake for concrete work?

The 36-inch length is essential for more demanding jobs. It's the right choice for thicker concrete slabs, forming curbs, or when working in softer or sandy soil that requires a much deeper anchor to ensure your forms remain perfectly straight and secure.
