How it works

Square profile locks the form

Set the stake beside the board and drive the point into the ground. The square cross-section resists rotation and maintains board alignment during the pour.

Common applications

Where it is used.

Application

Anti-rotation form retention

The square section prevents board spin in soft or unstable ground conditions.

Application

Slab and footing preparation

Holds temporary edge forms firmly at slab and footing perimeters.

Application

Form-line positioning

Resists lateral movement and maintains form geometry during setup and concrete placement.

Concrete systems

The square profile resists rotation in soft soil at slab, footing and flatwork edges. Round, Flat / C-mouth and Rebar Stakes provide alternative profiles for different ground and board conditions.
