Universal Forest 141044 Grade Stake 48x2x1 in Wood 24-Pack The Universal Forest 141044 grade stake is a rugged, kiln-dried hardwood stake engineered for precision layout and long-term outdoor use in construction, surveying, and horticultural applications. Its uniform 48 2 1 inch dimensions ensure consistent visibility and stability when driven into soil, while the straight-grain wood resists splitting under hammer impact or tension from twine and wire.

Lightweight yet robust, the 24-pack enables efficient staging across large sites without frequent restocking.

Product Application This grade stake is routinely deployed by civil contractors, landscape architects, and municipal crews for establishing elevation benchmarks, delineating excavation zones, staking irrigation lines, or supporting young trees and vines in orchards and nurseries. Its dimensional consistency makes it ideal for string-line layouts in roadwork, retaining wall builds, or ADA-compliant ramp grading?where millimeter-level accuracy matters. In horticulture, it serves as a low-cost, non-invasive support for climbing beans, tomatoes, or espaliered fruit trees without leaching chemicals into soil. Because it?s untreated yet durable, it meets organic certification standards and decomposes naturally after multi-season use, reducing site cleanup costs. The 24-pack format supports crew-based workflows?ensuring every team member has ample supply for day-to-day layout without mid-job replenishment.
