This solid aluminum Metal Ground Stake is anodized blue for high visibility and safety in the event the DuraBalloon® Pole is removed. The pointed tip makes hammering into landscaping a breeze. Leave at least 6" above ground for your pole to mount on. Recommended with a MegaPlate and for use with the Balloon Cluster Pole Kits. This stake measures 20"x 9/16". There is even a hole in the top of the stake for easy "twist-and-pull" removal with a screwdriver!
