How it works

Driven beside the board

Position the stake against the form board and drive the point into the ground. Ground resistance and the stake's geometry lock the board line through concrete placement.

Round Stakes This page
Choose round stakes for general board holding: the circular section drives cleanly beside wood or plywood boards.
Flat Stakes / “C” Mouth Stakes
Choose flat stakes when you want a flat bearing surface against the board and good ground resistance to turning.
Square Stakes
Choose square stakes when you want four flat sides to set squarely against formwork boards.
Rebar Stakes
Choose rebar stakes when you want the ribbed surface and tensile strength of reinforcing bar for driven hold-down work.
