Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

using this to build a more attractive cold frame / squirrel net. worked like a champ. Had to build a teepee structure because they're too thick to bend.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

These Bamboo poles work great for making bean poles, cucumber trellis, etc. The last set I purchased lasted over five years even with the southern weather conditions. Gardeners supply is cheaper and the bamboo is in much better shape than anything offered at the big box stores.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

These poles are currently holding up my flowers and curtailing ramblers. They are also good for directing vines. I like their natural appearance and they are perfect for a casual garden.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

This product was easy to incorporate into my garden. The use of this product in my garden makes my garden look like I am a master gardener.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I purchased these for small new trees that needed additional support because of the wind we get in our area. I am not disappointed so far!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Used to build support for tomato/dalia plants. Fun project.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I bought these bamboo poles along with connectors to enclose my square foot garden with chicken wire to keep the bunnies (that come in from the fields we live next to)out of my garden. They are so cute but not when they come in to mess with the garden.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I bought the bamboo poles with the green plastic connectors, based on a product illustration that implied the use of the connectors could make a self-supporting frame. It isn't. The connectors are not rigid, and when joined to the bamboo do not make a self-supporting frame. I think the company should make this clear either in text or revise the product illustrations.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Used product for bean teepees and it was easy to use

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

High quality bamboo poles

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

They are great when I weave chicken wire onto these bamboo poles for my peas to climb on. I also have done the same to cover my compost box laying them across the top to keep the birds out. They are also great with the chicken wire leaning on my fence for my cucumbers to grow on.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use this product for trellises, bean teepees, screens, supports for tomatoes and more.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Used for beans and tomatoes.Sturdy enought for the tomatoes and high enough for the beans.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Good bamboo: none cracked or splintered, all solid and uniform size

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

These stakes are tiny, about the width of a woman's pinkie finger, and about 3 ft long. The thinness makes them easy to push into the ground, but makes them somewhat weak. For lightweeght applications, they are great. I'm using them to hold up bird netting over small blueberries.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I'll be using this for making supports for tomato and pole bean plants. At the moment, however, I am using some of them with plastic mesh to make a temporary gate to keep my dogs out of the garden. There is no end to what you can come up with for these poles. I want more!-and will probably get some since you can't beat the price!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I had good success using these for tomato plants--generally using three triangulated with rows of twine. You can add more twine as the plant grows. Also great to stake one to a tall plant needing support, such as sunflowers. I have no yard and am container gardening on my balcony, so these are also great because they need minimal storage space. I also have a few folding tomato cages, but I expect the bamboo to outlast those.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Helpful for creating my fencing as well as supporting plants.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Tied 3 poles together like a teepee with twine for my pole snap peas, green beans and snow pod peas to climb up. Seems to be very sturdy and they look really nice in our garden!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Along with the black cording...this makes any garden pop!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

All worked well as they were the same dimension.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I have used these poles before and recently purchased more. They are extremely durable lasting for years and are even decorative in the garden. They are strong, versatile, hold ties in place, last for years. They are my favorite type of support for many of my vegetables.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Excellent product as described.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I had purchased these bamboo poles years ago, and have come back for more. Bamboo is beautiful in the landscape. It can be cut to size, so it can be used for frames, fencing, and even artwork. Lasts for years. My only gripe is that most of the poles taper down from one end. I would rather see the entire pole be 3/4", not just one end.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

When you can't find it local, go to Gardeners Supply.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Over the years, I've ordered several sets of the bamboo poles for use in making my pole bean tee-pees. Using four per tee-pee and lacing the top together with a cable tie, I find they are perfect for growing filet beans and limas. The "texture" of the poles allows the bean vines to get a good "grip" and the natural beauty of the poles is an attractive addition to my raised-bed gardens. This year I'm going to try them with vining cukes, too.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I plan on using these stakes for pole beans and tomatoes. They are attractive in my flower/vegetable combo garden

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Great for pole beans, trellises and garden structures

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I'm building a raspberry trellis for the front yard so I need it to be attractive. These large bamboo poles are the outside vertical members. I'm bracing them against green-painted steel fence posts for diy rolled garden mesh fencing and so far, so good. I'm following a popular set of instructions for lashing bamboo trellises together and it's really fun, and fast. I'm enjoying designing my own configurations. The price here is much better than the only other place I could find this sort of thing and could not find anything like this locally.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Stake up large in house plants. Use to hold netting for growing string bean plants.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

These were just what I needed to create Gopiyantras.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I lashed them together to use #
for tomato cages.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Used mainly for support for tomatoes, morning glories, and dahlias, but lately aids in holding fencing to deter deer and other intruders, the bamboo
poles have become a so useful and versatile part of the household. The other day one pole was used to reach a spider web that was in an inaccessible location!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I used the bamboo poles to build a structure to hold your deer netting I use to protect my blueberry patch. Works very well and I constructed it in about 3 hours including fastening the netting. I simply used a solid metal rod (crowbar) to make the hole and inserted a pole vertically every 6.5 feet, then lashed the poles to horizontal poles to make the frame. I then strung the netting along the top horizontal poles with small colorful ( to assist in removal) wire ties. Eight foot poles would have worked even better to accommodate the height of the bushes and me while working under the net.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

It has only been a season, but these bamboo sticks are great. I would like to review them after two, three and four season but for now, ASWESOME!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Overall the quality of the material was good except one out of ten that is of infreior quality.
Since I purchased ten poles I expect to see ten good poles not nine good ones and one bad one

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I'm using the poles for my cucumbers and tomato's.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I drive hole with scrap pipe and insert stakes, I also use wire ties at natural bumps to get a no slip tie off, my plants are healthy and stake holds a lot of weight. I plan to use the same stakes next year.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

thsi product was used for a small Bamboo Fence next to my Garage I have an Oriental looking home.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use these bamboo stakes for my tomato plants. Each plant needs some support as they grow.They don't weather or split the way wood stakes do. They are easy to use and lightweight to store.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Size received smaller than what was specified when purchased. Many of the poles were split and could not be used.
Overall I was very disappointed.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Holding up all plants that need to be.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I ordered this bamboo to build trellises. I wanted something that would be attractive, yet strong and easy to use. The bamboo is perfect! Each of the 50 pieces was strong, straight, and in excellent condition. It arrived at my home quickly and was packaged sensibly. I've used it to build trellises for my cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, and a hydrangea. I thought I would have trouble finding a use for 50 pieces, but it was so nice to work with that I quickly used it up and want to order more! However, since most of my crops haven't started producing fruit, I have yet to see how strong the bamboo is and will wait to see how it performs.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Product came in exactly what I had envisioned. Excellent quality and all the poles were straight.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Buying these in bulk makes sense - they're inexpensive and there are so many uses for them. For staking vegetable plants, there's nothing better.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use these bamboo poles to create deer fencing around my vegetable garden. Placed at an angle and criss-crossing each other, they make an attractive and inexpensive fence. And they are easy to set up; just stick them in the ground (it helps if the earth is moist). My bamboo fence definitely is a conversation piece!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Mainly use them to support tomato plants(along with the foam twisties).

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use this product in my potted vegetables on the deck and they work beautifully and look good too.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I'm using these poles - along with the lashing cord (which is the key here) - to support tomatoe plants, create a bean trellis and support netting to keep the birds and squirrels out of my garden.

These poles are excellent! No issues with splitting - all straight and even lengths - very easy to work with.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

The poles were not 6 feet long and were mostly smaller diameter. If you want long ones, you have to buy the more expensive package.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Our tomato plants our loving their support!!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

lashed various lengths toghether to form attractive supports for orchids and veggie plants

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I love this Bamboo - every piece was perfect in every way .. Consistent size, very clean, and straight like an arrow.
In South Texas most types of garden supports only last a few months but I can use these over and over for years - beyond the obvious uses for tomatoes they work great for Peas and beans. They can be stung together for all types of support uses.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use these poles to stake numerous veggies, flowers, and occasionally as a curtain rod. They are functional and attractive.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

We purchased these bamboo poles for use in our vegetable garden to create vertical grow space for peas and beans. We shopped around and chose these because of their length (few other vendors had any this long) and the price was the best by far. We were specifically interested in bamboo because of its strength and durability, but more importantly it is environmentally friendly. We installed the poles several weeks ago and they have survived heavy rain and wind storms.[...]These poles are exactly what we were looking for and we have nothing negative to say!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Your catalog advertised this as 3/4" bamboo but when it arrived it contained only a few at that diameter and the majority were smaller. 3/4" is what I needed and I feel your catalog offering was misleading. There was no mention of assorted sizes!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

The diameter of the poles differed a lot.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use them for Pole Beans, trellis for cucumbers, roses - they are sturdy, uniform in size, great

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

[...]were exactly what I was hoping for. The stalks were straight and largely unflawed which made lashing them together relatively easy.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

My bamboo stakes are used as markers for bulbs and to secure many of the taller plants against the north wind off the lake. They work perfectly in my gardens. Some stakes stay through the winter so that I know the location of the bulbs, come springtime.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Using the bamboo stakes for grids in square foot gardens for durability

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

An affordable way to grow your garden "up"!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Only hard to store as I have limited space. Have had the smaller set of bamboo for 12 years and they're just starting to crack > going for the large size and quantity as I plan to put a lot of veggies "in the air" rather than sprawled > cucs, pumpkins, bean > may even use on tomatoes.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Great for trellises and all sorts of other things. Very sturdy when lashed together, and never fails to support my tomatoes no matter how bad a storm rolls through.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

use it to loosely define planting areas in meadow
for plant supports on tomatoes, tall flowering plants
informal fencing
I still have and use the bamboo poles I have bought from you over the years.
I like the product and quality has been consistent-good!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

This hard to find product was available at Gardeners and also at the right price.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Japanese style enclosures for my tree peonies

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

The bamboo stakes can be used for many staking and trellis uses, strong and durable. Clean them at the end of the season.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use bamboo poles now to stake raspberry plants and as pole bean poles.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Awesome quality bamboo for a good price. I use bamboo for staking, for trellising, for fencing and on and on. Bamboo lasts for YEARS but when I need more I will buy it from Gardeners Supply!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I love to make my own structures with bamboo. I can turn a pea patch into a play structure for my grandchildren - a great way to introduce them to the garden and keep them entertained while I get my work done. They can play and have a healthy snack and the structures make my garden look great!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Functional easy to use in a variey os ways in the garden. They do exactly what you expect with no problems.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Very good, sturdy product. I wish it were a bit longer for some of the long stalk flowers that I wanted supported. It worked well for the ones I did use it on.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I WILL USE THESE NEXT YEAR FOR MY VEGETABLES. I KNOW THEY WILL WORK GREAT.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use these very tall poles to support those very tall growing Rudbeckias and Coneflowers that try to reach the sky. I also use them to support raspberries. And lastly, I use them in my hoop house as additional tomato supports, both vertically and horizontally. Because these poles are so tall, they are not easy to store, but that is a small thing considering their many uses.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use the 7'- 8' poles for light weight deer fencing (attached with twist ties). I have also used bamboo to frame teepees covered with "Garden Quilt" fabric (held down with earth staples) for winter protection of shrubs.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I planted Scarlet beans in my garden this year just for the beautiful flowers but I only had 1/4 inch poles. I made tepees. These became very big plants and the tepees failed. This is why I purchased your product. Your items are tough and hold my plants compared to the store bought products I had which I am slowly replacing. I cannot wait to use the new poles next year for my Scarlet beans.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I like the length. They can be used as tomato stakes and I crafted a trellis for my summer squash to climb.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

We have ornamental grasses that grow kinda tall, hanging over walkways and other plantings. I cut poles to size, drilled out the bottoms, and slipped them over rebar that I had pounded into the ground. Then I lashed bamboo strips to the poles. Bob's your uncle, the strips hold the grass in check.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Use it for extra supports for my tomotos. It works well.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Excellent poles, I got the longer ones for additonal support to the tomato plants that were much taller than the cages. My daughter and I built a couple of teepees as well for fun :)

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Been looking for this large size

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I ordered these thinking that maybe I could find one or two uses for them . As it turned out I have found several uses and counting.

With a little bit of imagination I think a person could find dozens of uses for bamboo stakes in the garden.

The stakes I received were of good quality and appeared sturdy.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I am using the poles to build a bamboo fence in the Kenninji-gaki style; also a gate to match. The poles still show some green which means they are new and not something that's been lying around for years. They are also very straight which makes it fairly easy to split them evenly.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use bamboo stakes of this size to extend my GS tomato cages. More than half of my tomatoes outgrow the cages and need more room to climb. When that happens, I line up a bamboo pole next to a tomato cage upright, press the stake 4-6" into the ground, and use a couple of twist ties to attach pole to cage. Then I can tie the growing tomato vine to the added stake. One year when I tried a version of the "Florida Weave" method of tomato support, these poles helped stabilize the horizontal supports.
I also use them to support cucumber vines and pole beans.
At the end of the growing season I pull up the poles and store them in bundles in the garage. I have some that I've used for 5 years.
One criticism: GS should make these available in smaller lots than 50. 20 would make a good batch or even 10. Most veg gardeners can't see their way to using 50.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

This is the second time I have ordered bamboo poles from Gardener's Supply. I use them for supporting beans that run and as stakes for pepper plants and tomato plants that have grown way too tall this year.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

3/4" bamboo stakes are valuable for creating a frame for climbing beans and cucumbers. They are effective and long-lasting, and sturdy enough to hold the weight of the growing vegetables. Plus, the framework created with them is easy to break down in the fall so the vines can be composted. However, the bamboo poles I received were not 3/4" for the length of the pole, but only at the largest end, and the small ends were less than 1/2". For the price [...], they should have been larger and sturdier, but they are definitely doing the job I intended.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

we used the bamboo poles to front the door of a recently added outdoor shower. the bamboo gives a zen feel to the space. they were easy to drill thru to attach to the door frame. we are very pleased. a few were left over and we will use them to stake heavy plants/trees.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use this product - with the lashing cord - to provide stability for all of my vines, including cucumbers, tomatoes, and green beans. So easy to install and use - and very durable. Lasts for several seasons.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use it in earth boxes. They stand up well during South Dakota winds.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Not too much to say. Sticks work fine. Good length, provide good support for plants are lightweight and easy to use.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Great thing about the stake is that they work well at supporting your vegetables. You supply the twine, but that is about it. You can make adjustments as plants grow. They are also a natural blend with the garden and do not detract at all.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

i make bean poles with it

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I have many uses for these, ranging from constructing frames for climbing vegetables to staking single plants. I find the poles usable for several seasons.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Used for pole beans with the netting and black cording you stock. works great. easy to put together, take apart and store for next year.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

The best thing yet for growing a variety of vegetables vertically with proper support.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

These stakes are really the best. They are attractive, easy to use and store (well, the 7 ft + ones can be a bit of a challenge . . .), and can be used for any tall flowering plant that needs some support. I love that you can drive them into the ground easily, and they can be used over and over again.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Some of the bamboo poles are split badly. They are usable but for my purposes are not desirable because I want solid poles for fencework.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I live in a high wind area and purchased the bamboo to stabilize fencing for beans. They work great for the job.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

These cane poles are common in Italy where almost every gardener uses them to train climbing vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini and beans. They are as simple and effective as any gardener could ask for and highly recommend using them in your vegetable garden instead of tomato cages and as a solution to squashes taking over the garden floor.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Bamboo is great....exactly what I needed for teepee trellis`s for tomato plants.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

These poles are better that the small ones you find at the home improvement stores. They make a great deer baffle and blend into my woodland landscape.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Nice that they are shipped in a tarp material case for easy storage. Good length for making treliss designs and pole bean tp. Great price for all and you don't have to hassle with hauling them home yourself!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I recently saw an article in a magazine using sticks as decorative upright supports in a garden. They were painted and looked great. I did the same thing with my bamboo poles. Sprayed them in assorted bright blue, purple and red and arranged them in tepee or leaning positions in my flower gardens. They look great with an added touch of color and interest. The poles will last through many seasons and even during the dead of winter.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Versatile and great value

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

It's more than worth the extra cost to get larger diameter bamboo stakes than what you can find in garden centers. These last for many years, are extra tall, and have a nice neutral color.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Great for propping up plants and keeping the garden neat and in order. Their natural look blends right into the garden.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Have taken training in the design and building of Japanese bamboo fences. The product was perfect for my first project. You will see more orders from me---and others who were in the workshop.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I'm using the #2 bamboo poles (5' length) to support the heavy duty deer fence (also purchased from gardeners.com) to protect blueberry bushes & raised bed gardens from deer. I pounded 3/4 inch pvc pipes (12-16" lengths) into the ground to hold the bamboo in place around each bush (I only have 3). The bamboo just sits inside the pvc & won't rot from contact with the soil. Then "wove" the poles into the deer net to hold it up. To access the blueberry bush I can just lift the bamboo pole out of its pvc holder. Put 2 poles next to each other wherever you need to have an opening. The bamboo is very tough & works well for a small area. Larger applications might need heavier fence posts. On my 4x8' raised beds I put put U shaped brackets to hold the bamboo onto the corners of the bed instead of the pvc.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

GREAT for use with newer trees or flowering bushes that have recently been planted. This will be the first year I'm planting veggies, and I expect they will come in VERY handy. I also REALLY liked the price and the "greeness" of the bamboo.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I am using these with the split bamboo on a chain link fence. Looks and works great!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

This is my second order of bamboo poles because they are so versatile. I "teepee" them for tomatoes, decorative vines; made a trellis for beans and cucumbers; cut smaller for flower stakes. Great price & very pretty

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

This is a " green" product, very renewable.I use these poles indoors and out.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

All natural, renewable resource,a true GREEN product.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Love these! Morning glories, and other vine plants happily climbed on them, and held strong. Very attractive in the garden, and good for staking plants and small trees as well.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use these 7-foot-tall bamboo poles to support tomato plants, peas and pole beans in my garden, and as a framework for bird netting over my parents' blueberry bushes. They are easy to push into the ground and lash together, they are tall enough to accommodate any garden use I might dream up, they hold up my heavy tomato vines just fine, and they last several seasons (more if brought under cover in the winter). I have not found anything else to match this product for versatility and price.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

saw a project at a local garden then saw the add in your magazine decide the price and the amount where perfect
for my project

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I love that I could go all the way around my tomatoes, peppers and cukes with the stakes, put landscape material around the stakes and then put my bankets around them to protect the plants from frost, hail, snow. Love the product.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Our original set of 50 was to support netting over a koi pond. It didn't really work. Decided to cut the bamboo into smaller pieces to edge around a semi-circle driveway - to hold in mulch. That's why we purchased a 2nd 50.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

These bamboo canes have many uses in my yard and vegetable-fruit garden.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

We had these poles years ago, and they finally gave out. This year I made two teepees in two pots with one pole horizontally lashed between the two teepees. Beans were planted around each pole, have been thinned and are now growing up the poles, and eventually across the horizontal pole. A great way to grow beans if cultivated ground is not available!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I'm using stakes to support young fruit trees.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Because of bamboo's structural strength, light weight, flexibility and weather resistance, it makes excellent and easy to assemble/disassemble garden frames for winter protection (fasten 3 or 4 together into a teepee with special waxed twine for no slip, cover with garden quilt fabric, and secure into soil with earth staples). The 6' to 8' poles can be sawn to a pointed end to penetrate the ground more easily, and make excellent stakes for deer fencing. I love working with bamboo. It's practical, beautiful, natural, long-lasting and non-polluting.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I haven't used this yet as I got them late in the summer for here in the UP of Michigan. But, I love the height, and I KNOW I will get lots of uses for them.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Used the stakes to

•fence in an area with netting
*support small trees and plants

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

What a simple idea for a garden yet what a very useful tool! I have used the bamboo sticks as supports for growing dahlias, in a large container that has tomatoes growing in it (previously willy-nilly) by positioning 4 sticks in the dirt and using my Gardeners Supply Velcro tape to hold up and support the branches. They have been super for my vines, i.e., passion flower, sweet peas. They are so easy to get into the dirt yet by the nature of bamboo, they are very light thus easy to carry around the garden and very convenient to stand up and tuck away in a corner of the porch.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I used these bamboo poles to decorate around my waterfall that built next to the house. By painting them green & adding the silk bamboo leaves, the final result looks like a bamboo forest and felt more like a natural waterfall. I also use them to stake those untidy plants that grew too tall. They have so many uses and the price was much cheaper than buying individual one at the local garden supply store.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I am using these for my tomatoes. They are lightweight but really strong. They have held up through some heavy winds and hail.They have helped keep my plants tall and from breaking.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I used these bamboo to run climbing squash to a cloths line where I ran them down the line. 2 lines of squash runners. Put them in the Gardeners Supply green rectangular planters. Worked great. Outdoors in Winter and held up for over 5 years. Also used to stake a container tomato this season.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

[...] I cut the bamboo into lengths and used it as shelves on a 3-tier potting stand I built.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

When used in conjunction with the heavy duty deer netting, it forms a tough barrier to keep the garden and the landscaping plants safe from the deer. It is also handy to keep my chickens in their compound. It is light weight and easy to use. I thread the bamboo poles through the deer netting, which keeps it from sagging onto the plants and rigid enough to keep the deer out forming a 7' barrier that the deer cannot jump.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I use these stakes in EarthBoxes in which I am growing pole beans, bush beans, tomatoes, and hot peppers. The stakes are sturdy but they would be difficult to store if I did not have a garage to store them in.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

We used several different sizes of bamboo poles and alternated them with boards and made very interesting and useful fences. Had a great time figuring out all of the different sizes to compliment what we were looking. Love the look! Easy and relatively inexpensive.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Old Woman Farm is located on a windy ridge of quartz overlaid with red clay. Bean teepees typically blow down, so using cable ties I lash bamboo poles to my garden fence. Problem solved: beans climb the poles, my leghorns are deterred by the wall of greenery, and I harvest delicious beans without struggling through a tangle of poles and vines on the ground!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

I used the bamboo rods to make teepees for my tomatoes. So far, so good.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

This is my 2nd set. 1st set I used for 15 years as teepee/trellis supports in my veggie garden...could also use in flower garden, but excellent help in veg. garden.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

NEEDED WILLOW RODS BUT USED BAMBOO INSTEAD WORK JUST FINE.

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

To conserve garden space, we grow climbing veggies whenever possible, i.e., pole beans vs bush beans, etc. These bamboo poles make things easy. Just tie a few together, sling some netting over them, and voila! you have an instant trellis. I'm all for doing things easy when possible. The bamboo poles make things easy!

Comments about Bamboo Stakes & Poles:

Bamboo is an excellent natural product to use, being both flexible and strong. Combine those with it's resistance to rot, it's really a good thing. The only problem with these poles is that they taper. While the size is admittedly described as "approximate", the difference in diameter of each end made it impossible to use the connectors which don't allow for variation of size. Three-quarter inch and half inch are considerable difference when using three-quarter inch connectors. However, after switching to zip ties, our project was completed and works just fine.
