What Customers Are Saying

Customers are divided on this tree staking kit. About half find it convenient and adequate for small, newly planted trees, appreciating the all-in-one simplicity. However, many criticize the plastic stakes as brittle and prone to breaking, especially under wind pressure or in hard soil. The included twine is frequently described as cheap and prone to unraveling, making secure fastening difficult. Reviewers note the kit fails for trees over six feet tall or in high-wind environments, with several users forced to replace components with heavier-duty alternatives. Despite these drawbacks, some report success with modifications or temporary support in calm conditions.

Almost good.

Would Not Recommend

Seemed good in the package, but the directions state to cut the plastic string in 3 pieces and then place the stake 5 feet from the tree. Not NEARLY enough string to do that. Had to buy different rope.

Poor Instructions and tying material (rope/twine)

Would Not Recommend

Rope is stringy and not easy to work with and the instructions are very confusing on how to tie the rope together

Not as easy as it states

Would Not Recommend

Bought this to stake my newly planted tree and the directions were not easy. I don't know why they had the reel or whatever it was in there because that did not work at all. Directions stated to cut three pieces at 7" each. That was too short for my palm tree. I wasted rope and it was a tight fit. Ended up taking them off and throwing them in the trash. *Note: Tree is not that high anymore. Lowered it. My first time transplanting a tree; don't judge me!!

Not a good product.

Would Not Recommend

This was difficult to use. The “rope” is not a good material to use for this purpose. The stakes were helpful but the rest was a waste of money.

Difficult to Use

Would Not Recommend

Plastic stakes were very hard to drive into ground. One stake split in two. Rubber pieces that fit around the tree were very inflexible. String needed to be longer.

Dangerous to Health

Would Not Recommend

This was literally bottom of the barrel. It was so old, the printing was faded & I needed a magnifying glass. The fiberglass-type line came apart in my hands while unraveling it from the pouch. I had fiberglass dust from the line in my eyes. It felt like tiny shards of glass. I was wearing a KN95 face mask, but I started coughing into the mask when hit with the decompossing rope dust in the face. I used eye wash immediately and jumped into the shower. I don't recommend ordering online from ...

Awful

Would Not Recommend

The rope supplied with this kit lasted only 4 months before it disintegrated. It literally fell apart. The rope I assume is not uv resistant and is not able to be in a sunny location.

Bad Line

Would Not Recommend

The line provided in the kit is junk. Lasted less than 2 months before it completely rotted in the sun.

total garbage, does not last

Would Not Recommend

This product is total garbage, mainly because the rope is very low quality. It shredded quickly and just fell apart. Super useless and a waste of money and time.

Not worth even the low price

Would Not Recommend

Cheap product that is only for very small trees. The stakes pull out of the ground easily. The instructions on how to use it are less than ideal
