High-Carbon Rail Steel Stakes |
| |
 Best Angle Tree Stakes offer a full line of
different sized high-carbon rail steel stakes to accommodate your needs. Our stakes
are formed into the familiar shape of "angle iron". We offer very small
angles, 3/4" x 3/4", up to very large and super strong angles of
2" x 1-1/2".
Do not be fooled by cold-formed steel
products that may look similar. Standard low-carbon cold formed angles do not
have comparable strength, and they will deteriorate rapidly. Nothing compares to the
strength and longevity of high carbon rail
steel.

| Best Angle Tree Stakes are designed,
distributed, and used by a fruit growing family with over 40 years experience with dwarf
tree systems. When you contact Best Angle, you will
be able to speak with someone who has actual experience in orchard support systems. We are knowledgeable about rootstocks and their growth
habits, and will be glad to offer you advice on
your support needs. |

3/4" x 3/4" |
RG396 |
8 ft. |
Recommended for light duty support or
supplementary support. We recommend this stake for use with nursery stock, ornamentals, or
non-bearing trees. Due to the small angle width, this stake is not available fabricated. |

PJ196-OR |
8 ft |
Recommended for light duty support or
supplementary support. We recommend this stake for use with wire trellises or for a single
top wire system. While this stake is strong, we feel it is insufficient for
individual tree support with bearing trees. |

1-1/4" x 1-1/4" |
PA396-OR |
8 ft. |
Recommended for medium duty support. This stake
is popular for very compact rootstocks, such as Bud 9 or M 27, or systems that can be kept
compact. This stake also provides excellent use for training purposes on rootstocks that
will eventually be self-supporting. |

PB496-OR |
8 ft. |
The #1 SELLER.
Recommended for heavy duty support. Popular for use as individual tree support for dwarf
rootstocks with precocity and weak basal strength, such as M 9 and semi-dwarf stocks
such as M 26, M.106, Mark, interstems, etc. This is a very strong stake that
supports tremendous loads, proven reliable through violent storms, and helps compensate
for plans-gone-astray. We feel this stake works well for vigorous cultivars (Galas,
McIntosh, etc.) and tip bearers (Cortland, Rome, etc.) that magnify support problems. |

PF896-OR |
8 ft. |
Recommended for heavy duty support. This is a
tremendously strong stake that is often used for trellis systems, in conjunction with
our smaller stakes, or top wire systems. We often see this stake purchased to
"fix" support problems where other materials were originally used, but have
failed under adverse conditions. |

| *Lengths available: We normally inventory both 8' and 10' lengths. However, we will be happy
to custom run other lengths to accommodate your style. As far as recommendations on
length, keep in mind your intended purpose. Are you looking for support on trees already
producing, or will you be tree training in addition to support? If you are merely
"fixing" an old problem and just need to pull leaning trees back up, the 8'
stake will do the trick. If you are starting young trees, there is a good
chance that you will want to tie the leader up, tie the limbs down, and possibly tie up
the heavy bearing "droopers". For this purpose, tree training with the
fabricated 10' Best Angle stake is the most efficient system we have found.

description |
recommendation |
poly-tubing
 |
Strong, durable, elastic, non-girdling tie material.
Stays pliable in cold weather. 3/16" diameter black surgical tubing. Available in 100
meter rolls |
Use this tubing to tie your tree to the stake. Make a figure 8.
Lace the tubing through the hole in the stake then around the back
of the stake crossing the tubing between the stake and the tree, then
around the tree.
To make an inexpensive dispenser, place the 100 meter roll in a empty gallon jug, then
feed the tubing out through the cap hole. Using the jug handle, hang the dispenser from
your belt . |
stake driver
 |
Steel stake driver - lead-shot filled end
cap transfers more energy to the stake and less vibration fatigue to the operator. |
Slide the stake driver over the end of the stake, then stand the stake and
driver upright into position. Remember to leave a gap between the stake and the tree
trunk, in order to allow the tree room to grow . |
training clips
 |
plastic training clip - Specifically
designed to lock into the holes of Best Angle stakes. Holds 12-1/2 guage wire, tubings,
twines, strings, etc. to the stake. |
Use clips to provide a versatile attachment piont when tying limbs up or down.
Use to position wires when trellising. Attach wires to side of the stake. Clips allow
adjustment for uneven terrain and prevent wire damage associated with placing wire
directly through holes in the stakes. |
