At The Sign Maker, we know that a plaque is only as strong as the stake that supports it. Whether you’re displaying a memorial plaque, a garden marker, or an information board, choosing the right metal stake ensures both durability and a beautiful finish.
We offer a wide selection of metal stakes, all designed to provide strength, longevity and complement the craftsmanship of your plaque.

 

Stakes for Backing Boards or Wooden Plaques

Angle Iron Stake

A lovely, substantial-looking stake with a clean, simple design. The angle iron is a solid choice for anyone wanting a reliable and long-lasting support. Its sturdy construction provides excellent stability, giving your plaque a professional finish that stands the test of time. This stake can also be used on Corian Plaques or corian backing boards.

 

Wrought Iron Spike

Handcrafted by our skilled blacksmith, this option combines elegance and strength. The wrought iron spike is galvanised and painted for longevity, ensuring it remains resistant to the elements for years to come. While more delicate in appearance than the angle iron, it’s equally robust – a true balance of craftsmanship and durability. This is the perfect option for small wooden backing boards or plaques as it screws directly into the back of the plaque. 

 

Wrought Iron Plaque Holder

For those who wish to display their plaque higher off the ground, our wrought iron plaque holder is an ideal choice. Beautifully crafted by our blacksmith, it features a distinctive four-leg detail that not only adds charm but also provides excellent stability. Perfect for those wanting a more elevated presentation.

 

Wrought Iron Lectern

If you’re displaying a larger plaque, our wrought iron lectern offers both strength and elegance. Designed to hold a wooden backing board or a thicker plaque within a wrought iron frame, this lectern has two supporting legs for added stability. It’s a fantastic option for larger memorials, garden features, or interpretive displays that deserve a commanding presence.

Stakes for Plaques Without Backing Boards

For plaques that don’t require a wooden backing, our wrought iron spikes with plates are the perfect solution. These come in a range of sizes to suit everything from small memorial plaques to larger display pieces. This stakes work well on a variety of materials including but exclusive of Acrylic Laminate, Anodised Aluminium, Corian and more. 

 

We recommend selecting a plate that’s slightly smaller than your plaque for the best visual balance.

Our sizes include:

• 100 x 75mm, 140 x 90mm, and 160 x 160mm – all on single spikes
   
• 200 x 150mm and 270 x 200mm – on double spikes, available in either 350mm or 550mm lengths
   

These versatile stakes are made with the same attention to detail as our other wrought iron options — strong, weather-resistant, and designed to look beautiful in any setting.
