yes, they are thin hard plastic. but haven't had a problem with them. put bottom end in first they screw on the top so you don't have so much pressure when putting in the ground.

Depends on the brand. I have some that are metal, but some are plastic. However, I haven't had much luck with any brand of solar lights. They never seem to last long - I don't mean how long the light stays on per day; but the longevity of the product. I just replaced the rechargable battery in the units. One still does not work so I don't know if it's the bulb. I keep hoping that they will continue to improve the quality of the product and the brightness of the lights.

Yes the stake is metal. I would say it is thin but it dies stay when u put it in the ground - doesnt wobble.

I double checked Sorry they are hard plastic. I did not have any trouble getting or keeping mine in the ground

Mine is hard plastic. I've not had any issues with mine. They are pretty to look at at night.

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.

Plastc and thin. Two of mine snapped just from the weight of the glass ball

I doubt it, it isn't lightweight tubular metal with a cheap finish, looks like solid metal.

No there is no metal stake. It is made to balance on the base. It has a flat area on the bottom.

It does have a smooth bottom - no stakes, but it does stand up on its own really well due to the metal wire running thru it being flexible but stiff. Mine has never fallen over. Hope this helps.

No, just a lightweight metal frame. It's a very firm narrow saddle with limited padding.

It's thin, like thin steelIt won't bend under pressure but I would think it will rust if left wet for too long

I don't remember. I think it is a double grounding stake. All I know is I put it in the ground and it hasn't moved since then. Through wind, rain, snow and sun.

It's metal. Not too thin and not too thick. I put my two pits and young rott in our kennel when I need to run out of the house for a couple hours and it works great. It also slides in and out so you can vacuume and clean under it if needed. Hope this helps.

No as sand is so porous. Stake needs to be put in dirt or grass areas. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't say its super thick, but it's what I expected... definitely not thin. We have four of them and they stay outside under the deck and are doing great. Everyone loves them! Hope this helps!

It's metal but it is thin and cheap. I remember the school ones were way more substantial.

Yes, but as others state in reviews, it is thin. We used it for a time followed by the order of a replacement.

As long as the stake are metal, you will be fine. Surveyors used to use simple steel spikes when marking boundaries. Now they seem to use wood stakes more. Hope that helps

I used the stake. If I remember, it was separate and I had to attach it. If this is the same device I remember, I believe it did have holes in the back and a template as a guide to mount it. But, I did not use it that way.
