Croquet sets evoke the image of leisurely summer days, lawns, lemonade and fun. This is a game where small hoops are pressed into the grass and players knock colored balls with a mallet, trying to bump other player's balls aside while getting their ball through the hoops. As soon as you start to use a croquet set the finish will deteriorate. Balls get smacked around a lot and it shows. Sometimes it's necessary to refinish your croquet set so it will be in better shape for the next season of play. more »

Does this sound familiar? Of course it doesn’t matter the bent stakes poke holes in the tent bag because the tent never fit back into the bag it was purchased in. Eventually everyone has to purchase a larger bag than your tent came in. It is recreational industry rule. Everything from sleeping bags to croquet sets never goes back into the bags/boxes they were originally purchased in. It is a marketing concept; “make sure the customer has to come back to purchase a larger bag/box.” This keeps the customer coming back so industry can sell them other recreational products they will not be able to get back into contraptions they were purchased in. It is a vicious cycle. Okay, I will move along now. Here is a product that you may easily build that solves many problems concerning tent stakes or just stak more »
