Leads on stakes

BDS05 · Feb 16, 2023

Anyone have a lead on stakes in middle Tn? PM PLEASE. I'm looking for bulk without the cost (lumber scraps, etc…)

I have exhausted all of my efforts locating such though I know an opportunity has to exist…

Wonder how many folks get permits to build stake beds and where you don't need a permit

Mt. Juliet but can make a trip for the right material.

There is a hardwood trim factory here in Camden that has all kinds of scrap wood for free.

I know the TWRA gets a lot of the stakes they use around here from them. They usually burn them once a week, but it's all free otherwise. I'm gonna drive by there later today, I'll stop and see what they have.

Another thought is getting wooden pallets and popping them apart with a pallet bar. I have one and it takes all of a couple of minutes to pop one apart. Then you can rip the boards in half or just cut one end into a point.

There was a decent pile of 8 foot cutoffs but not enough to justify a trip from Mt. Juliet.
Lot of people get them this time of year to use for kindling.

I may try that. Last time I dealt with pallets it was with a crow bar and hammer. I swore never again. Thanks for the tip.

That bar made for separating pallets makes it simple. You can run through a stack of pallets in not time flat

Go to a construction site and look in the dumpster.
