Set of 10 Plastic-Coated Steel Stakes 120cm

Set of 10 Plastic-Coated Steel Stakes 120cm (Reference: VB03024-10)

These Multitanks plastic-coated steel stakes are the essential accessory for all gardeners looking to provide optimal support for their plants. Designed to meet the needs of both home gardeners and professionals, they combine robustness, durability and ease of use. Their plastic-coated steel construction guarantees exceptional resistance to weather conditions while maintaining a discreet aesthetic appearance in your garden.

Applications and garden benefits

These 120 cm stakes prove useful in many gardening situations. In the vegetable garden, they provide the ideal support for tomatoes, cucumbers, climbing beans, peas and courgettes. Their height allows these vegetables to grow to maturity while preventing stems from sagging under the weight of the fruit.

In the ornamental garden, these stakes excel at supporting climbing roses, clematis, sweet peas, honeysuckle and other twining ornamental plants. They also help straighten tall perennials such as delphiniums or lupins that tend to lean under the effect of wind or rain.

The set of 10 pieces offers remarkable flexibility to organise your plantings according to your specific needs, whether creating structured rows in the vegetable garden or providing individual support to isolated plants in your borders.

Technical design and materials

The plastic-coated steel construction is the main asset of these stakes. The steel core provides the rigidity and mechanical strength needed to support plants effectively, even in strong winds or under heavy loads due to fruiting.

The plastic coating brings several key advantages: protection against corrosion, UV resistance, a smooth surface that avoids damaging delicate stems, and a green colour that blends harmoniously into the vegetation. This plastic finish also prevents oxidation that could stain plants or the surrounding soil.

With an optimised diameter, these stakes offer a perfect balance between structural strength and ease of handling. Their contained weight allows for easy installation while maintaining the necessary stability once in place.

Installation and use

Installing these stakes requires no specific tools. Simply push them into the ground by hand or with a mallet if the soil is compact. The pointed tip facilitates penetration into most soil types.

For effective staking, insert the stake approximately 5-10 cm from the base of the plant, on the side opposite to the prevailing winds. Push it in to a depth of approximately 20-25 cm to ensure good stability. Use flexible ties (raffia, specialised clips, or adjustable straps) to attach the plant to the stake without strangling the stem.

Maintenance is limited to occasional cleaning with soapy water to remove soil residue. At the end of the season, these stakes can be easily stored after a simple cleaning and can be reused year after year thanks to their durable construction.

Expert tips and optimisation

To maximise the effectiveness of your stakes, adapt the fixing technique according to the type of plant. Tomatoes require regular ties every 20-30 cm of growth, while climbing beans naturally wind around the support.

Consider completing your equipment with adjustable plant ties, reusable clips or natural raffia available in our garden range. For more demanding crops, combine these stakes with tomato cages or trellises to create more complex support structures.

A professional tip is to install the stakes at planting time rather than waiting until the plant needs them. This preventive approach avoids damaging the root system and allows for more harmonious development.

In organic growing, these inert stakes add no chemical substances to the soil and fully respect the natural balance of your garden. Their durability also makes them an eco-responsible choice by limiting frequent replacements.
