HomeBuyAdvantage 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2004 Here in Michigan it is a balmy 5 degrees! I need to go put my rent-to-own signs at my prospect property. Does anybody have any tips on how to place these signs in the ground. I can either pound wooden stakes into the ground, or use the steel step stakes, but I don't think either would "hold up" too long. Any tips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Tony- 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2004 do you have a cordless drill? If so drill some piolet holes and then fill with water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve55121 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2004 All, I was wondering the same thing... I live in MN and by far bandit signs work the best. I tried a step stake to no eval... and it didnt work... a cordless drill with a little bit of water sounds awesome... Rememeber if you do use wood stakes to use screwed to secure them to the stake. And dont use lattis wood... it breaks in a few days... Any more ideas anyone? -Stevewww.homegalleryusa.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark in St. Louis 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 What you need is a cordless drill and an "auger" bit. That's those spiral looking drill bits. They come in widths from 3/8" to ???. You can get them about 18" long or so as well. That way you don't have to kneal on the frozen ground. They work....I have used them myself here in St. Louis (also a frozen tundra in the winter).

MichaelC 160 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 What is this "frozen ground" you speak of? I just push the spindly lil' stakes into the soft, warm, sandy soil. No prob..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
