Questions & Answers
Then you would be able to remove them after you drill a slightly smaller hole first. However, the stakes are not galvanized, and they will quickly rust. They were made to be hammered into the ground, where the rust will lock them in place. To accomplish this, galvanized spikes or preferably galvanized screws should be used, particularly if you are connecting several landscape ties. If you only plan on joining timbers together, these products will probably rust too soon, so they are not the best option.
I am not sure about the shaft diameter, but it is probably 3/8ths in diameter. Can't use calipers for exact measurement because I don't have one.
It seems to be the case. Though they have a larger diameter, the holes in the sides allow for pounding into the ground through them. They are pointed, so you can make a tight fit through the holes. This is one of the cheapest, and best, products I have ever used. I use these regularly, as they are so much better than what I can get in
It might be a good idea to use them. In addition, they are not a thin material, nor do they bend easily. Mine have been installed over two years, and they are still in perfect condition.

These were used to hammer down pre-drilled wood planks to make a walking trail in my backyard. They are strong, and so is the path I made with them.
We used 8 inch spikes in the past for landscaping around pavers, synthetic grass, While the 8 inch ones worked well, they can occasionally seem to not go as deeply as they ought to and have a little movement unless the ground is tightly compacted. Sometimes, the top couple of inches may not be tightly This is my first time seeing these spikes before we tried them out on a recent project. We only needed the ever so slight difference between the spikes that were 8 inches and those that were 10 inches. Spikes like these do not move and are very durable. Although they were smaller than the 12 inch spikes, the 8 inch spikes were suitable for the synthetic turf. They are very thick and great for edging and such, but I certainly wouldn't recommend using them in synthetic turf (which I had considered using prior to actually getting Their purpose is to make edging (for what we intended to use them for).
This is not only just one of the cheapest in their class, but it is also very heavy-duty. A few months ago, they were about $5 cheaper, so I wish I had bought more to begin with. However, I have not come across anything comparable to it. I bought stakes three or four years ago and these are substantially thicker. Rocks are pushed aside or through and anchors are maintained. In this way, I understand, they are kept well seated in the ground as they rust. Eventually, they might rust through, but since they are so thick, I will probably be in the hole before they rust through.
This is a great product that I found on Amazon!.
For securing landscape timbers to the ground, I used these anchors. This purpose was met with success with them. After about a week in the ground, I was nervous they would be a little short, but in the end, they were quite sturdy.
This is what I needed for my plastic edging resulting in the perfect result. It is extremely strong and easy to install. I did not like how they started to rust before I even put mulch in the flower bed not even a week later, as they were left in the I didn't care because I covered them with mulch, I just didn't think they would rust so fast. The nails still hold strong and did not come out of the ground no matter how badly they started to rust. They also are strong enough to go through parts of the ground that have a rocky consistency to them if I hammer them extra hard. I would certainly buy it again if the need arose.
Due to how fast they rust and the fact that they took me hours to pull out of the lawn edging that was staked into the ground, I gave these only a three out of five. I had to use a small sledge hammer to drive them back through the edging because the rust was so bad. However, I had to change the paver path so I had no choice but to remove the edging. Making the mistake thinking that they would withdraw would be a big mistake. Being aware is all we ask.
I recently redid the landscaping in my backyard. I used landscape timbers to hold down new mulch that I put down after the old mulch had been removed. For the timbers to stay in place, I used landscape nails. The are very heavy and have a length long enough to reach at least six stories A few inches will be left to corral the timbers after the 7" is injected into the ground.
