1x3x24 Inch Wooden Stakes | American Douglas Fir for Concrete Forms

The Ultimate Multi-Purpose Stake for Every Project

When bracing heavy concrete forms, standard stakes just don't cut it. Our 1x3x24 inch wooden stakes are engineered for maximum strength, featuring an extra-wide 3-inch profile crafted from solid, American-grown Douglas Fir to prevent costly form blowouts.

Each stake is precision-cut with a sharp, angled point to drive securely into compacted job site soil. Built for the toughest professional applications, these USA-made stakes are the definitive choice for any construction project where strength is non-negotiable.

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.

Is the 24-inch length enough for a sidewalk or patio form?

Yes, the 24-inch length is ideal for most standard flatwork. It allows you to drive the stake about 12-16 inches into the ground for a very secure anchor, while leaving enough height to properly brace and level your form boards.
