PVC Survey Stakes

Wondering if anyone has a good bulk supplier for 3/4" 30" or 36" white pvc for marking pins? Have a few customers who want these instead of the wood and figures there is a supplier out there.

Thanks

We use orange fiber glass rods.

Same here on the fiberglass stakes. Search snow stakes on Amazon. Very reasonable. Ive always liked a metal tpost painted white for a witness to the corner but they cost more and these fiberglass stakes are easy to carry. They make a driver to punch a hole in the ground but in my area you can push them into the ground or light tap of the hammer will suffice.

Same here, or white fiberglass electric fenceposts which are a bit stiffer.

I buy 1/2" PVC in 20' lengths, and cut to length. Paint the tops. Make pilot hole, and set.
I drive by old surveys, and see they last 25 or more yrs.

In my suburban area, orange driveway stakes are so common that they might not appear as property line markers to people. To address this, I opted for the Bernstein plastic stakes, which are a bit expensive but my clients seem to like them in the right circumstances. Duane suggested fiberglass electric posts, which I found to be priced at $1.40 each and they might be a better alternative to the conventional hardwood stakes I normally use. Not to mention, they are also lighter to carry in the stake bag.

I appreciate the info. Been looking for a bulk pvc supplier but hard to get anyone to return calls. In the meantime, I just picked up 200 of the orange drive way orange fiberglass rods for $108 shipped to the house. Do will try some of these out.
