Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering, Treatment
and Delivery
The questions we are asked most often. If yours is not here, email the yard at
info@stake4.life.
01
What is the minimum order?
One bundle if you are collecting from the yard at Rosegreen. For delivery we ask for a minimum of 100 stakes, or a mixed load that makes up a reasonable pallet, so that haulage stays economic for you.
02
How long will a treated stake last in the ground?
Our fencing stakes are treated to Use Class 4, the classification for permanent ground contact. Actual service life depends on soil type, drainage and how much of the treated envelope is cut through after treatment, which is why we point and drill before treatment wherever possible.
03
Do you deliver, and where to?
Yes. We run our own deliveries across Munster and south Leinster from Rosegreen, and use pallet haulage for the rest of Ireland. Delivery cost depends on quantity and distance, and is confirmed in writing before you commit to an order.
04
Can I collect from the yard?
You can. Collection is available during opening hours at Rosegreen, Cashel, Co. Tipperary. Please let us know ahead so the bundles are banded and ready when you arrive.
05
Do you supply treatment documentation?
We issue a treatment record with each batch stating the timber species, treatment class and date of treatment. If an inspector or scheme needs particular wording, tell us at quotation stage and we will confirm what we can document.
06
Where does the timber come from?
Predominantly Irish-grown Sitka spruce and Scots pine, bought through Irish sawmills and forestry contractors. We buy it round and process it ourselves at Rosegreen.
07
How do I get a price?
Send the size, quantity and delivery county through the contact form or by email. We reply with a written quotation, normally within one working day.
