WAENLIR Garden Stakes 30 inch 2.5ft Sturdy Tomato Stakes, Plant Stakes for Outdoor Plants, Plant Support Sticks for Gardening, Pack of 30

Understand--these are thin aluminum tubing coated with a thick plastic jacket. They aren't any stronger or stiffer than an old TV antenna rod (I'm dating myself with that), or if you were born after 1980, about as strong as those driveway reflector poles sold at the home improvement places--only these don't return straight after being bent. In other words, don't use them for tomatoes!!!. That said, they are great for tying up anything light weight or supporting a cover cloth over your plants. If you need to stake up anything as bulky as a tomato plant, buy a wooden stick or use rebar. I think they are a great product if you understand that they are for light duty only.

I LOVE these garden stakes. I've had some 4' ones of this kind for a decade that are still going strong. This year I expanded my backyard garden beds and needed bean poles. These 6 foot ones were perfect size and much better price than box stores offer. Allowing for a few inches anchored in the ground, these give enough height for future pole green beans to wind up their tepee going vertical to save garden real estate. I pushed 3 in a triangle around the sprouting beans and tied them at top. Very sturdy. In fall when I'm cleaning up these will pull up easy and stand in a shed corner waiting for spring next year to repeat their task.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Work perfect for tomatoes and peppers

These are fine. They aren’t very sturdy so don’t expect to be staking a tree with it or anything. They serve a purpose, but if you need something very sturdy, this isn’t it.

Second time purchasing these, already have a few sets of the 72 inch. These shorter guys are perfect for my peppers and some shorter cutting flowers. They are of sufficient weight and the plastic covering is nice. Like that there are no caps on the end and it's all plastic.

perfect size for my garden needs

These are great garden stakes. They have little bumps on the stake so that what you may fasten to the stake won't slide down. I had gotten some others from another store before I got these that were more expensive and I think these are 10 times better.

I use these for tall bearded iris, dahlias, and other tall plants that need staking. I like that they are affordable, easy to pound into the ground, and basically disappear amongst the tall plants that I use them for. Affix to the plant with green velcro plant tape.
