Barbed anchor stake for wire tree cages
This is a strong, flat-printed garden stake designed to secure hardware-cloth or welded-wire tree cages against deer nudging, wind, and accidental movement.
The hook fits over the bottom horizontal wire of the cage. Shallow upward-facing barbs increase resistance to pullout after the stake is driven into the soil.
I designed these for small pawpaw-tree cages after deer repeatedly browsed the new growth. The finished PETG stakes were successfully driven into ordinary garden soil with a rubber mallet and held the cages securely. None broke, and all remained firmly anchored. They replaced roughly $30 worth of lighter commercial plastic stakes.

Installation
Hook the top over the lowest horizontal cage wire and drive the stake into the soil with a rubber mallet or wood block. Use three stakes around a small cage and four or more for larger cages.
In very hard, rocky, or dry soil, make a pilot hole first rather than striking the printed stake excessively.
Why print it flat?
Printing the stake flat keeps the filament paths running along its length, giving it much better resistance to bending and impact than a vertically printed stake.
For the lead photo, use the installed stake holding the cage wire, because people will understand its purpose immediately. Make the seven-up plate photo the second image, followed by a close-up showing the hook and barbs.
