Abstract

The present invention is directed to a fence stake including a lateral rod side connected to a vertical rod at spaced intervals.

A further alternative embodiment includes adding an angled rod that is connected to the lateral rod, connected to the vertical rod, or connected to both the lateral rod and the vertical rod.
