Kind of a different question. I need to find the survey stakes in my yard to mark the boundry lines for a fence. How do you think this will perform?

S. Williams this bounty hunter has never failed us it finds everything big and small scraps and valuables. The only thing I learned from owning this is never drop it or let it bump around in the car they are very sensitive and can easily break so handle with care. I had mine repaired. If u take care of it it wont disappoint.

I ordered this to take to the beach. I would highly recommend sand anchors. What we did was dig holes aobut 6-8" deep, put the stake in sideways, and pack sand and water on top of it. It held for the most part, but some high winds definitely made the stakes loosen and therefore the net sagged. also note that the poles seemed to dig down into lose sand a bit when trying to make the lines to the stakes tight. Not a problem, unless you must have the net at the exact correct height.

I made 2ft stakes from heavy duty rerod and used 6 in total all the corners and one in the middle on each side. This worked well for us and there was a windy day and we had no issues.

Would work awesome if you use a chain to wrap around the stake. This puller is ~3' high at pulling point. Strap or chain can easily be hooked on to pull up from the ground.

Hi Kelle, The transmitter is the center of the circle and the radius can go up to 90' or 180' across the entire circle. Your yard will need to be very flat and your house should have wood walls and there shouldn't be many trees if any in your yard. Hills of any sort, brick or aluminum siding and trees can cause the fence to have range issues in those areas. If you can set the transmitter in the very center of your yard it could cover a portion of it. Let us know if you have more questions. Thanks, EZDogFences

The stakes are metal and are sturdy enough to shove into the ground. If the ground is very hard you may have to use something to get it started like a large nail or a round screwdriver. They are somewhat delicate depending on the terrain.

I myself have not used them outdoors, but my husband said that it doesn't work on wood, but it does on plastic. Make sure that the plastic stakes are clean, use a little alcohol rub on it first & wipe clean. Hope this helps.

Yes it comes with the stakes,but I found it works better if you dig about a five inch hole then cover the stakes with sand . If the wind is strong.

I have only used this with 5.56 using the stakes. I could only guess if it would work alright without them. Just guessing that it may move a bit without the stakes in.

It would probably work to measure in between poles using the site hole it could work to measure up the pole but may be harder due to the size of the target you are trying to hit.

It comes with stakes that worked fine for me, although I purchased extra on the advice of others. You will need something to drive the stakes in the ground. Also a tarp for the ground is helpful. Easier to clean a tarp than the bottom of the tent.

I would guess that it would if you hold it close enough to the ground, but do you really want to crawl around swiping every inch of your property? Might be better off with one of those stand up metal detectors like people use for beach combing. Just a thought.

You wouldn't need the fancy angles, and it would be relatively easy. I usually use left over field fence...don't have any. It was cheaper to buy a set rather than a roll of fencing!

I have only used it for a small time, I believe it will do the job, but it will take some practice using the rake to get the most out of it. The field I had a chance to rake was a couple acres , it did a fair job.

There are stakes already on each piece, just press it into the ground when the soil is reasonably soft. There are connectors on each end.You can also use a good utility knife to cut and custom fit pieces. The version of Suncast I bought is the stone-looking type (for a border, not edging, so it is 2-sided), it has held up fairly well over several years.

I'm too late for the original inquiry, but I hope my experience helps others... I use my Yardstick almost entirely for edging. I very much like the "idler wheel" which supports the unit on the edge of a pathway or sidewalk; this makes it easy to get a sharp edge. Generally, the unit works very well, but you have to take two precautions. First, it is not an earth-moving tool! If you do not already have a well-formed edge, don't attempt to use the Yardstick to cut one. You will use a lot of line and spend much time waiting for the unit to recharge. Form the edge first with a D-edger or a spade, removing surplus soil, stones and vegetation, and then use the Yardstick to maintain it. Second, advance the line frequently, by hand. This is very simple - just press the end cap and pull out the line. If you do this every 30 feet or so you will not have trouble with the line snapping, forcing you to dismantle the head. Reviewers seem all over the place with this product, but personally I have been very pleased with mine. In fact, as the battery finally seems to be failing I'm about to order a replacement unit. One other warning: make sure that the unit really is charging. If the charger light is green when you put the unit back on its mount, it probably means that it is not fully plugged in and won't charge. Make sure the light turns to red - that may require wriggling the unit so that it is not vertical, which is a bit counter-intuitive!

It has holes for stakes to go in but I never used them. You might need to use string and stakes
