A Guide to Standard Yard Sign Stake Types
Ordering a beautiful stack of custom Coroplast yard signs is incredibly exciting, but the hardware you choose to stick them in the ground is just as important. A brilliant design is completely useless if the sign blows over into the mud after the first gentle breeze. Understanding your stake options is crucial for a successful local marketing campaign.
The Classic H-Stake
This is the standard piece of hardware included with almost every basic sign order in the country.
- The Build: It is made from standard 9-gauge wire bent into the shape of an ‘H’, designed to slide directly into the vertical flutes of a corrugated plastic sign.
- Best Use Case: They are perfect for short-term events, weekend open houses, and quick neighborhood canvassing where weather is not a major concern.
The Spider Stake Upgrade
When you need serious permanence, you have to upgrade your hardware.
- The Engineering: Heavy-duty Spider Stakes feature a robust plastic and metal hybrid design with a massive reinforced foot pedal, making it incredibly easy to step them deep into hard soil.
The Raven32 Recommendation
Standard wire stakes are great for a weekend, but they bend easily under heavy winds. As your printing and promotional experts, we strongly advise that if your signs are staying up for several months, you must upgrade to Spider stakes so they remain standing tall and proud through severe weather.
