Garden plaque stakes

[FlorenceC]

Hi Folks,
I have a client who's looking for a weather-resistant outdoor garden stake on which I can mount, angled to 45 degrees, a 3x3.5" plaque. We're okay with running the plaques here but don't have a good line on where to get the stakes (we only need 6). Anyone here know who I should check with in Canada to find these?

do you have some kind of power tools like table saw, band saw, etc. that you can make your own ?
how long is the expected life time in the elements ? What will the plaques be made of and how thick ??
I would be leaning towards PVC pipe. Even 3/16"x3/4" aluminum flatbar from the Box Store will work.

Get some heavy wire and bend it.

Online memorial plaque websites carry these, you can see if they'll sell just the stakes.

any metal fabrication shop could make these for pretty cheap, then paint them with some krylon.

I used this place for completed signs but they also sell parts

I understand that you are looking for an inexpensive garden stake on which to mount a plaque. I recommend you check with some local hardware stores first and see if they have any in stock.

Thanks folks, we'll take this all into consideration.

Florence, we would love to see some photos during manufacture and when you get them installed

gemini is where I got mine but that was just because I got the plaques from them and customer was willing to pay - 45 degree bend with pre drilled holes and screws ( also depends on how thick the plaques are , don't want bolt heads on the plaque side unless they're threaded rivet style screws / bolts . I did them for a TWP. for dedicated benches and trees , they didn't want them attached to the benches for some reason
