Benefits of Marking Stakes for Your Home and Business

In places that experience severe winter conditions, marking stakes can help reduce vehicular accidents and increase visibility for motorists on the road.

In the past, the traditional method employed by property owners and snow removal contractors was to simply cut a number of 1x1 wooden stakes, which would later be painted and planted in the ground. Such precautions helped snow plow operators avoid damaging their expensive equipment and protect their client’s property.

That said, the design and technology of these tools have dramatically improved over the years. And, today, Plow Right marking stakes provide myriad benefits for both home and business owners.

Advantages of Plow Right Marking Stakes

At Plow Right Marking Stakes, our products are uniquely designed to improve the ease of installation and provide durable, lightweight, and reusable equipment to plowing teams and homeowners across the country.

Wondering what makes our American-made marking stakes so special? They’re crafted for:

Safety – 24% of weather-related crashes happen on snowy, slushy, or icy days. Improving the road visibility for motorists and plow teams can help improve road safety and prevent accidents. When it’s dark, snowing, or too sunny, bright high-visibility colors and reflective indicators make it easy for snow plow operators, motorists, and emergency responders to identify and avoid the hazards. We offer a range of high-vis color options in orange, red, green, blue, and pink that you can use to mark a specific obstacle or secure an entire property line.

Quality – Conventional stakes are typically made from wood or fiberglass. However, these types of materials have significant inherent flaws. Especially in low temperatures, they’re prone to splintering, cracking, and breaking. But our modern rebounding marking stakes are made of hollow high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is shock-absorbant, durable, and water-resistant.

Cost – Although our markers are made with high-quality materials, they still cost a fraction of the price of fiberglass markers. And for a relatively minor upfront investment, you can protect your property and vehicles from an expensive collision with a hazardous object. Whether it’s a curb, a fire hydrant, or some other object, marking stakes provide a harm-free warning system for when your vehicle is veering off the road to save you on costly accidents.

Installation – The old method for marker installation was laborious and time intensive, seeing as you needed to drill or pound the stake into the ground. But with Plow Right Marking Stakes’ revolutionary installation tool, installing our markers is fast and painless, making it possible to install hundreds of stakes per hour. To do so, simply follow these steps:

  • Slide the stakes into the installation tool
  • Push the staking tool into the ground
  • Remove the tool to reveal the stake

Variety – Snow can quickly pile up, especially when the plow operator plows a drive or roadway. We provide markers in three different sizes: 26", 36", and 48" high. This ensures that even if you experience heavy snowfall or snow buildups, you can install a marker that will remain visible regardless of weather conditions.

Protection – Even in winter, a house or business fire could be calamitous. Fire hydrants must remain visible and accessible. And by installing fire hydrant markers, you can ensure that emergency responders can identify the nearest fire hydrant and attach their firehose as quickly as possible to fight the inferno.

Protecting Your Home and Business with Plow Right Marking Stakes

Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or plow operator, when the snow piles up, navigating the road becomes all that much more hazardous. Fortunately, installing high-visibility, high-quality, low-cost marking stakes from Plow Right Marking Stakes is a fast, low-cost way you can protect yourself and others from an unfortunate accident.

And with Plow Right Marking Stakes’ innovative installation system, it’s never been easier to install the marking stakes around a driveway, parking lot, or road.
