Questions & Answers

Are you sure you can mow over them with a mower?

There is no simple answer to this question. Even if people hadn't been curious and were curious and took them out, we still would have had While they don't last FOREVER, our fields get cut every week and you can still see the originals that weren't pulled. They have taken a beating, but in the interest of keeping the line, they are still hiring at weekly cuts 3 months after the assault.

There are how many packs in a box?

I have a great question for you. Thanks! As we sell our Marking Whiskers by the pack of 25, you'll get to open the box and see 24 individual, usable whiskers. It is my hope that this A team of Swanson experts

It would be helpful if there was a permanent marker that could be placed on an underground water pipe in a horse pasture in case I ever had This is what I need for that. Is it suitable?

I've got a great question for you, C Martin! Based on a 60-degree angle Marking whiskers, such as the ones pictured here, can be used as marking tools or as a wooden stake if you need an above ground reminder of the location of your underground water pipe. You can also use our underground detectable blue "caution buried water line below" There is no indication in your questions if you are marking a pipe for general information or if you are marking a construction zone so the workers know NOT to dig, but this tape might be more convenient if you are marking a construction zone for safety reasons. Those not in the military Construction teams will be alerted to the presence of the pipe using a ferrous locator. It is likely that you will be able to suitably cover the entire length of the pipe with that roll of tape. *br>You can search Amazon using the ID number for the tape, if you think that might be the one The code for this item is B0081ZRU18.

3/5

Instead of seeing flags, get the flags. This product was bought for marking sprinkler heads so the tree company wouldn't run over them when they loaded their bulldozers. It took a week for them to perform their work in the ground There was rust on the metal fasteners. There are no stakes included in the package, so the stakes had to be purchased These stakes kept falling over and laying flat on the ground, which might have been due to the stakes I bought. An appraisal flag can be more effective when it is regular. In spite of the fact that I have all of these up, sometimes I still find a strand from one of them, so I am not certain that they are suitable for multiple uses.

Perfect markers for an arena for horse riding
4/5

With these markers, I am able to place my letters in my dressage arena so after the arena is dragged I understand where they should go. Furthermore, I use these markers on circles measuring 20 meters, 10 meters, and 7 meters in diameter. I was able to bend my horse exactly for the right geometry after learning this trick. Depending on how they are designed, the whisker is anchored into the ground with a nail attached to the metal bracket. About three feet in diameter, I dig a hole If you would like to replace the arena footing, you will need to remove it from the arena bed and place it about 4" down. There is only 4" of whisker visible at the top of the whisker. Their soft, visible and weatherproof nature makes them ideal for outdoor use. The deep rings allow me to implement deep ring drags directly on top of In the future, I won't have to repeat anything Place my markers where I would like them to It is the only con I have about this color, that it doesn't fade. Before ordering these, I went to Lowes and picked up a pair of green ones that were It is not a loss in any way simply because the faded whiskers can still be used. Those who prefer that may find that to be.

It took several days for the orange color of the Swanson Survey Whiskers to fade
3/5

If you like During the past year, I have successfully used other colors of the Swanson Survey Whiskers without any issues. In my orange ones from a year ago, the color faded quite quickly. This picture shows you what we mean. On the pic, the red and orange whiskers of a survey can be seen in the same spot. Compare the orange and red one and you will see how badly the orange one has faded. Do not know if I just got a bad batch of orange color Swanson survey whiskers or if all orange color survey whiskers fade rapidly.

Despite the "off" season lasting for 6 months, I would be satisfied with their longevity
5/5

It was a pleasant surprise to receive these a few days earlier than I expected. They were used to mark a high school grass soccer field so we didn't have to run around with tape measures and remember the Pythagorean formula to repair the lines that faded when the paint wore off. To paint the line we can simply draw a string from whisker to whisker. The color is bright and contrasts with the whiskers. Unlike a rubber stake, the stake hole is made of solid metal that clamps inside It is necessary to purchase the stakes separately. There is no need to worry. We have mowed them once already and they are still standing in place and looking perky. Our hope is that we will not have to replace them all the time. Despite the "off" season lasting for 6 months, I would be satisfied with their longevity.

Despite not being 100% mowed, an alternative to ugly pegs exists
5/5

This is a much nicer way to mark out surveyor's points. Leaving them high enough to get caught between my mower blades will cause them to curl or rip. you will only notice them when you look for them because they are so low in the lawn that they are hidden. From a hardware store, I purchased a twist shaft for a nail 60d in diameter.

The rabbits eat them, so they're great until they do
3/5

An animal chews away at them at the ground as if they were grass clumps. Unless I can come up with another solution, I'm out of ideas.

I really appreciate your work! A gravel parking lot had these as a way to delineate parking spaces

The lines on the parking spaces were getting tiring to paint.

Sprinkler heads can be easily located with this tool
5/5

My sprinkler heads were located in the yard with the help of these. That way I could avoid hitting them when aerating the yard. I could just leave them in so I didn't have to worry about taking them out. To match the grass close to the bright green ones, I chose the ones with a lot of green. In a plastic container that can be resealed, they are packaged neatly.
