12 inch heavy duty tent stakes hand forged. also avaliable in half inch thick 16 inch long. I sell these at a very fair price because being a reenactor myself I often am shocked at how expensive items you need in quantity add up. Made from 3/8 thick steel they are stronger than competitors. During a reenactment at fort Adams, which the parade ground is asphalt covered with 3 inches of top soil, the reenactors who used my stakes managed to pound them in through the tarmac while the others who used imported pieces made stakes simply bent. Using my heavy duty stake pullers my friends had no issue removing them after the event was over.

We purposely choose square stakes because round tent stakes tend to twist in soil and come loose. This is why if you notice round tent stakes are more staple shaped, because pounding them all the way into the soil is the only way they remain secure. Square stakes grip the soil better.

If you have a wall tent feel free to check out our other option in the listing. we make very large thicker tent stakes just for you!

Buy with confidence. I personally use many of the items I post for sale as do friends, family and other reenactors. Frustrated the duality of buying cheap imported goods or expensive ornate decorations it is my personal mission to offer a middle ground of durable, affordable reliable goods for the everyman. Thank you for supporting small local business!
