Wooden Stakes
The natural robustness supporting your fences, vineyards and outdoor landscapes
Characteristics and applications
We take pride in our stakes, and that pride is reflected in the name EFF Piquets. Essential for your fences, vineyards, landscaping projects or agricultural installations, our chestnut and acacia timber stakes stand out for their authenticity and sturdiness. Sourced from locally-based, PEFC-certified forests, they combine durability, aesthetics and environmental responsibility.
All our stakes are made from naturally rot-resistant wood, offering exceptional longevity without chemical treatment. Chestnut and acacia are ideally suited for outdoor use: they withstand direct and prolonged contact with soil, even in conditions of constant moisture.
Our wooden stakes are available in several forms and finishes to meet the specific needs of each project:
