This 7.125” long x 0.228” diameter ground stake is made of a lightweight, hardened 7001 aluminum alloy material and is perfect for securing low-voltage outdoor cables to the ground. Helps to keep your cables secure and close to the ground to avoid tripping or having them sucked up by the lawnmower! The ground stake has a “question mark” shape with a pointed tip to help penetrate the ground. The curved hook top holds cables securely in place and makes it easier to locate and pull out of the ground either by hand or with the aid of the claw of a hammer. The stake has a hexagonal shape to increase the ground contact area which helps to prevent movement and rotation. The stake is strong enough to be lightly hammered into harder ground, but care should be taken to avoid bending it. The aluminum alloy material is weather, corrosion & rust resistant.
