Garden Stake Arms

thingiverse

*Background I saw the “Ultomato Stake Arms” at Home Depot and thought they would be really useful for keeping garden stakes from falling over and giving viney plants something to cling to, but was turned off by the high price. I found knock-offs for cheap on Amazon but realized that the Ultomato Stake Arms are patented, and I don't support stealing from patented inventors. So, I did the next best thing; I invented something myself. *Instructions These arms clip onto the stakes and have a hole in the side where a ¼" wooden dowel can be inserted. Cut the dowel to whatever length you want and use another arm to clip to a second stake. It's like building with tinker-toys or k-nex. This is a first rev, so there might be a few improvements to be made on sizes (especially if the wood swells from rain and splits the print), but it seems to be working well so far.
