Coghlan’s Sand Stake – 11-Inch Heavy-Duty Beach Tent Anchor for Canopies & Sunshades

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a stake that's perfect for sandy terrain. Used it on the beach and have no complaints. It's light but able to secure whatever you're staking down. Thin and light enough to be taken in a bag since it takes very little room.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good holding power in sand / loose soil Because of its wide flange and contoured shape, the Coghlan's sand stake does a good job resisting pull in sandy or loose ground, much better than thin metal pins or small tent stakes in those conditions. It's straightforward to press or twist into damp or dry sand without too much struggle. The hooks/eyelet make it convenient to tie down guy lines. “These stakes were very easy to use … held into the ground well.” Is very easy to use. Lightweight & Affordable: Because of the plastic construction, it stays light — useful for beach days or casual camping. Also, its price point is low, making it a cost-effective option for occasional use. Corrosion resistance Unlike metal stakes, the plastic won't rust or corrode. That's an advantage in wet coastal environments or salty air. In its element (sandy or loose soil), the Coghlan's Sand Stake shines — it anchors well, is easy to carry, and works reliably when you don't need something ultra-tough. For beach umbrellas, shade canopies, tents on dunes, or similar setups, it's a very reasonable option. If you use it gently (no over-hammering, avoid punishing sideways loads), it should last you many outings in its domain. The Coghlan's Sand Stake is a solid, purpose-built tool for anchoring in sand or very loose soil. It delivers good performance in that niche, at a low cost and with light weight. Just don't expect it to rival heavy-duty metal stakes in tough ground
