Why choose FSC certified stakes?

Choosing FSC certified stakes demonstrates your commitment to sustainability. The Forest Stewardship Council^® (FSC) certifies forests all over the world to ensure they meet the highest environmental and social standards. With the presence of the FSC ‘tick tree’ logo, you can be confident that using these stakes will not harm the world’s forests.

Usage

You will find that you get a year or two longer out of the 32mm² stakes, as opposed to the 25mm² stakes. If, however, you are planting on an exposed site, we always recommend making use of the 32mm² stakes.

Given that timber stakes are made of a natural material that may contain knots, it is worth allowing for a small percentage of breakages that may occur upon installation. We recommend purchasing slightly more (typically 5%) than the required number to allow for this.

*N.B. It is advisible to use a longer stake for sandier, lighter soils.
