Solid Iron Ball Stakes
You may hammer these into the ground if necessary. We recommend a soft mallet or placing a piece of wood between the hammer and ball finial. Otherwise, push the stake into the ground to your desired height. If you have hard ground, you may want to create a pilot hole or soak the ground before installing.
All Other Stakes with Cast Iron Finials
Push the stake into the ground to your desired height. If you have hard ground, you may want to create a pilot hole or soak the ground before installing.
Never hammer the finial. Cast iron allows us to create the intricate designs but may crack if hammered.
Obelisks
The four legs of the obelisks are solid but flexible enough for you to position them between 8" - 16" or even larger. Just sink the legs into the ground or container to secure the obelisk in place.
The videos below may help you finish your legs to protect from rust or give them a personalized look. Clean metal with mineral spirits or paint thinner first for the best paint adherence. Follow the manufacturer's directions for a great finished product.
