The Rain Bird TS25/10PS tubing stakes are designed to be quite reliable when it comes to supporting your 1/4" drip irrigation system. According to how the manufacturer describes them, they've got a bug-cap diffuser and locking cap that help keep the tubing secure and prevent clogs from insects and debris. They're made to fit tubes with an outside diameter from 0.19" to 0.256" and use UV and chemical-resistant plastic, which should make them pretty durable for outdoor conditions.
From what we've found, a lot of folks think these stakes do a good job of holding the tubing in place, as long as things aren't getting moved around too much. But, some have noticed that if you put a lot of pressure on them or if they're stretched too much during installation, the plastic can get a bit pliable and not hold as tightly as you'd hope.
Thankfully, the stakes come with some handy features like the diffuser bug-cap and locking-cap, which do a great job of keeping the tubing secure and protecting it from the elements. This design feature is pretty helpful for maintaining a neat and effective drip irrigation line.
Each pack has ten stakes, which should cover you for small to medium garden setups. One thing to note, though, is our data shows that some people have had issues with the locking cap coming off and getting lost in the soil, so it's a good idea to handle them carefully when you're getting them set up.
All in all, these stakes are generally well-regarded for their durability and ease of use as long as they're used under the right conditions. They're especially appreciated for keeping pests and debris at bay.
But just keep in mind their placement to get the most out of their longevity and performance. If your setup doesn't involve a lot of tugging and strain on the tubing, the Rain Bird TS25/10PS could be a solid choice for keeping your drip system running smoothly.
