4mm Coroplast Sign Stakes

[Signworks_WI]

We have struggled to find a sturdy coroplast sign stake. We have tried the expensive Premier Stakes, the inexpensive Step Stakes and just tried the Spider Stakes, which snapped in the winds. Does anyone have one that works best for them, a middle grade quality for a lower price???? - Thanks.

Try a U Top - with the 1/4" base - 5 1/2" x 30"
Not sure where to get them by you

I like the mini 6" x 17" stakes. They are made from the same wire as the 10" x 30," but they are much stronger because they are compact. It's a lot easier to put the signs on the smaller ones, too. They are shorter and also keep your signs out of the wind better.

That's great....I just got in 250 of them to try because they were on sale cheap.

I've been doing alright with the one's from Midwest. Have you tried them yet?

Suprised about the spider stakes, we have never had one snap from wind, and our whole town is on a hill?

I have used Parker Davis many times in the past and found them lacking in strength at the cross weld.

A few years ago we switched to Ver-Mac Industries stakes and haven't looked back. Their weld is across the frame, not within it (much stronger). For a while we were ordering direct but now one of my local coro supplier carries them so I just buy what I need and large volume storage is no longer an issue. Moreover, my customers no longer complain stepping on the stakes (as intended) cause them to snap.

Over the years I have even made my own from concrete block ladder material (read the PD patent as that's where they came from) but the few cents I saved wasn't really worth it.

Couple things to keep in mind. Coroplast signs were never intended to be permanent signs; neither are the frames. They do a decent job for what they were intended.

If you're looking for extra strength, get the wires that are about 6 inches apart; then use two of them per sign, about 4 inches apart. That should do the trick.
