Dxenion Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Leerburg has these metal stake outs but the postage to Australia for four of the large ones is frightening. Does anyone know of a similar product in Australia. I am not after the spiral ones. Edited September 11, 2011 by Dxenion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasels Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) I got a metal one from Better Pets and Gardens that has 'wings' on the stake and a moulded loop at the top, I then attached a carabina to the loop for 360 degree rotation. I'm not sure if they are in all stores but I got mine from the Port Kennedy store. ETA I think it's this one - Link Edited September 11, 2011 by Weasels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Have a chat to your local retrieving club too as they are used to tie out dogs in the hide. I bought mine locally from a retrieving competitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlefan Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) What do you want to use them for? Temporary or more permanent tethering? Most of the dog show vans sell some kind of tie out stake. Ive seen really huge screwdrivers used successfully before.

Dxenion Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thank you for all your suggestions. We are actually after one with a flat head so that it can be pushed flat to the ground for mowing over. At the moment we have permanently installed small star pickets which although do the job of temporary tethering when we are out the front, they are a hassle when mowing and when not in use can be a trip hazzard. The search continues...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they're only rated for dogs under 45kg (3 our ours are very close to that) and because of the dome design with the bit out of the top, they can't be mown over.

GeckoTree Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Permanent ones are a car axle in the ground. Just spray paint a pretty colour on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spray paint a pretty colour on top. Great idea! Just not sure our property manager would see it that way though Seriously though, they're not even keen on 10cm of star picket above ground with a plastic safety cap on top. Something about asthetics.... It's part of the reason we are looking for 4 unobtrusive ones. The Leerburg design is something they'd be happy with. Just trying to locate one in this country so I don't have to sell a kidney to pay for the postage on four large Leerburg ones.
