Erva Shepherd Staff

The 12-inch step-in blade is designed specifically to anchor deep into the ground, providing significant leverage and stability. While it performs best in firm soil, the long blade helps it remain upright even in softer ground compared to standard single-prong stakes.

Yes, the powder-coated steel construction is highly resistant to corrosion and rust. It is built to withstand prolonged exposure to rain, snow, and humidity, though we recommend checking the finish periodically for any deep scratches that might expose the raw metal.

Absolutely. The staff features a collapsible design, allowing you to break it down into smaller, manageable pieces. This makes it easy to store in a shed or garage during the off-season without taking up much space.

The heavy-duty steel construction is engineered to support substantial weight, making it suitable for most standard bird feeders and medium-to-large hanging baskets. However, always ensure the ground stake is fully inserted and the soil is packed tightly around the base to maintain its center of gravity.

Simply place the step-in blade where you want it and use your foot to press the blade firmly into the soil until the base is flush with the ground. Avoid using a hammer or mallet, as this can damage the powder-coated finish and compromise the structural integrity of the steel.
