Stake It: The American-Made No-Dig Ground Anchor System
Part of the America250: Built Here. Built Better. series — celebrating the American makers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs behind every FLI Products innovation.
Every gardener, landscaper, and outdoor enthusiast has fought the same battle: stakes that pull out of hard soil, wooden posts that rot at the ground line, trellises that lean and fall after the first heavy rain. The standard solutions — drive deeper, use concrete, replace every season — are expensive, labor-intensive, and still don't solve the underlying problem.
Stake It was designed to solve it. And it was designed and manufactured right here in the United States.
Stake It is a no-dig ground anchor system that secures trellises, garden stakes, fence posts, and outdoor structures without digging, without concrete, and without the wood rot that destroys traditional wooden stakes at the ground line. It's a genuine American innovation — engineered to solve a problem that every gardener and landscaper faces every season.
Built by Stake It — American Engineering for American Gardens
Stake It is designed and manufactured in the United States by Stake It — an American company and FLI Products partner dedicated to solving the ground anchoring problems that gardeners, landscapers, and outdoor enthusiasts face every season. Stake It brings engineering precision and material expertise to a product category that has relied on wood, concrete, and brute force for generations.
The result is a ground anchor system that works in tough soil, clay, rocky ground, and raised garden beds — without the labor, the rot, or the frustration of traditional methods.
What Makes Stake It Different
- No digging required — drives into the ground without pre-digging, even in hard clay and compacted soil
- No wood rot — American-made materials that don't degrade at the ground line the way wooden stakes do
- No pulling out — engineered anchor geometry that holds firm under lateral load from wind, vines, and heavy plants
- Works in tough soil — designed for the hard clay, rocky ground, and compacted soil that defeats standard stakes
- Reusable — pull out at season end, store, and reinstall next year; no replacement cost
- Compatible with standard stakes — works with wood stakes, metal stakes, and standard garden stake diameters
Where Stake It Works
- Garden trellises — anchor trellis panels, A-frame trellises, and arch trellises without digging or concrete
- Plant supports — keep tomato plants upright through heavy fruit loads and summer storms
- Fence posts — temporary and semi-permanent fence post anchoring without post-hole diggers
- Raised garden beds — anchor stakes and supports in raised bed frames without drilling
- Camping and outdoor — tent stakes, canopy anchors, and temporary structure support
- Event and display — temporary signage, banners, and display anchoring
Tom Whitaker has anchored trellises, tomato cages, and garden structures for four decades. His take on Stake It:
"I've lost more trellises to wind and more wooden stakes to rot than I can count. Stake It changed how I think about anchoring in the garden — it goes in without digging, holds through the whole season, and comes out clean at the end. No rot, no replacement, no frustration. That's what American engineering looks like." — Tom Whitaker, FLI Products Advisor
