Why Hire Companies Switch

High Alloy Steel That Reaches Full Depth

Standard mild steel stakes bend. That is not a manufacturing defect — it is what mild steel does when it meets hard, compacted, or rocky ground at speed. The point deforms, the stake follows the curve, and you end up with something unusable that took twice as long to drive and is a problem to extract.
Hogan Tiger Stakes are high alloy steel with a patented heat-drawn point. The alloy resists deformation where mild steel yields. The heat-drawn point drives truer and seats more cleanly. The result: a stake that drives straight, stays straight, and extracts cleanly — job after job, season after season.
Tiger Stakes 30 inch In Stock

Tiger Stakes

30" × 1"  |  770mm × 26mm

Mill finish high alloy steel with Hogan's heat-drawn point. For lighter loads in firm to medium ground — pole marquee guy ropes, secondary anchors, and smaller inflatables. In soft or loose ground, the 36" or 42" will hold better.

Tiger Stakes 36 inch In Stock

Tiger Stakes

36" × 1"  |  920mm × 26mm

Mill finish high alloy steel with Hogan's heat-drawn point. The most widely used general-purpose size — reliable holding for pole marquees, stretch tent primaries, and medium-load anchor points in firm to medium ground. In soft or waterlogged ground the 42" will hold better.

Tiger Stakes 42 inch In Stock

Tiger Stakes

42" × 1.125"  |  1070mm × 29mm

Mill finish high alloy steel with Hogan's heat-drawn point. For high-load anchor points — clearspan base plates, sailcloth primaries, and large marquee structures — and for soft or variable ground where the 36" won't achieve adequate pull-out load. The 29mm diameter gives roughly 10% more lateral resistance.

Tiger Stakes 48 inch In Stock

Tiger Stakes

48" × 1.125"  |  1219mm × 29mm

Mill finish high alloy steel with Hogan's heat-drawn point. Maximum single-stake holding for large marquee and sailcloth primary anchors. The 1219mm depth matters most in soft or loose ground — more embedment, more holding. Also right when ground is variable and a 42" risks seating short.

Tiger Stakes 60 inch In Stock

Tiger Stakes

60" × 1.125"  |  1530mm × 29mm

Mill finish high alloy steel with Hogan's heat-drawn point. For the highest-load structural anchors and deep soft or loose ground where shorter stakes can't reach reliable resistance. Not for obstructed or rocky ground — gang staking with shorter stakes is the right approach there.

What Operators Tell Us

Used on Real UK Ground

"Yorkshire Limestone, where other pins gave us the banana treatment. The Hogans went in straight and came out the same way. Night and day."

Phil M. — marquee hire operator, Yorkshire

"We put 80 stakes through a showground at the end of a dry August. Ground like concrete. Not one Hogan bent. Compare that to a job we did three months earlier with standard pegs — we had to cut four out."

Dave R. — event hire company, East Midlands

"We were sceptical about price. Switched half our inventory last season to compare. The Hogans are still straight. The others... aren't. We won't be going back."

James T. — marquee hire operator, South West
Manufactured to a Specification Since 1948
