Option 3 – Installation into Ground – Reinforced with Rebar
NOTE: The suggested maximum span of lights for this installation method is 20 feet, subject to your
soil conditions.
Tools Needed:
• Sacrificial piece of wood larger than the diameter of the yard stake
• Hammer (the heavier the better)
• Rebar (1/2" to 1" in diameter and at least 18" in length – the longer the better)
***Rebar not included. May be purchased at most home stores
Check for any underground pipes or wire before driving the metal stake or rebar into
the ground.
Installation 1
1. Hammer the rebar at least 12" deep (or deeper if your ground allows). This will help reinforce the
ground stake even further.
2. Slide the ground stake over the rebar.
3. Place your sacrificial wood on top of the stake tube and hammer the stake into the ground until
