Advantages of Our Patented “Everlast FRP Stake” Over Traditional Wood Stakes
- Our stakes feature a reliable grit coating that securely holds the twine, ensuring your plants remain upright and supported. Through extensive testing, we have determined that our grit size is more than sufficient to handle the twine even under the demanding conditions of full production loads.
- To withstand the rigorous commercial burning process after harvesting, our stakes are equipped with a fire retardant additive. This enables them to endure the intense heat generated by torches without melting or losing their original shape.
- With the inclusion of a UV protection additive, our stakes boast an exceptionally long field life. We carefully consider the “Cost vs Benefit” ratio for commercial growers, maximizing the value delivered by our stakes.
- Furthermore, our stakes are free from leaching, making them suitable for use in organic crop cultivation. They do not release any harmful substances into the soil.
-
Even in adverse weather conditions and high winds, our stakes exhibit flexibility, allowing them to bend without breaking while supporting the weight of full production loads. Additionally, they have been engineered with zero flex memory, ensuring they retain their shape and strength.
- Lastly, our FRP stakes are resistant to rot and mold, offering durability and longevity in various agricultural settings.
Cost Saving
By using FRP stakes instead of traditional wooden stakes, our customers have reported cost savings exceeding 30%. This significant reduction in expenses is attributed to several key factors:
- Extended Life Expectancy: Our FRP stakes offer up to three times the lifespan compared to wood stakes. This increased durability means fewer replacements and less frequent purchases, resulting in substantial long-term cost savings.
- Simplified Installation Process: With FRP stakes, there is no need for tractors, compressors, or pneumatic hammers, which are commonly required for setting up traditional wooden stakes. This eliminates the associated costs of equipment maintenance and operation. Additionally, the simplified installation process reduces the number of field hands required, resulting in reduced labor expenses.
- Reduced Fuel Costs: By using FRP stakes, the number of trucks needed in the field is significantly reduced. This reduction in vehicle traffic leads to lower fuel consumption and, subsequently, reduced gas costs.
- Decreased Freight Expenses: Compared to wooden stakes, FRP stakes are typically lighter in weight, resulting in reduced freight costs during transportation. This reduction in shipping expenses contributes to overall cost savings for our customers.
With these combined benefits, our customers experience substantial cost reductions throughout their operations, making FRP stakes a highly economical choice for their agricultural needs.
Quality Controls During Manufacturing
At Florida Agriculture Stakes, we uphold stringent quality controls throughout our manufacturing process to ensure that all stakes are crafted to meet our precise specifications. This includes careful attention to details such as overall diameter size, wall thickness, grit size, UV resistance, and fire retardant additives.
Each stake we produce is coated with a protective grit layer, enhancing its durability. Additionally, our stakes are designed to withstand UV exposure, ensuring long-lasting performance even under intense sunlight. As an extra precautionary measure, we incorporate fire retardant additives into our stake manufacturing process, further enhancing safety.
By adhering to these high-quality standards, we strive to provide agricultural stakeholders with reliable and resilient stakes that meet their specific needs.
