Stake or bury?

[Rich]

So what is your preference when selling up your larger fireworks. Bury them to the marketr or stake them in. What do you use? I generally stake and I use grow poles from homebase. They are strong and spiked for easy insertion.

I always stake my fireworks, burying is difficult in clay soil during November.

Staking every time, burying takes far to long and makes a mess of the firing site unless using buckets/boxes. I use thin metal poles from an old tent lol.

I usually just put a few big bricks around a cake. smaller tubes i just put in a bucket of sand or small stones.

stake and sandbags here best way to secure without wrecking the garden

 

[trickyrickxx]

Stake for bigger ones and bury for smaller ones

 

[Maddog]

i think burying just wrecks the garden

 

[trickyrickxx]

Bury in a bucket of play sand seems to hold shot tubes and small cakes well

 

[Maddog]

it's getting a bucket or box in times that fit some of the bigger pyro though

 

[trickyrickxx]

Bigger is stake in grass only a couple of small holes

or get a 1.5 by 1.5 of plywood and sit them on that with stakes hammered in

I have very limited space between trees tet mine off so haven't got room for a big bit of wood

 

[Maddog]

what about front garden ?

Errm has no one seen the price of ply wood? or maby its just B&Q lol - A Wilkinsons storage box holds sand nicely

any wood haha i have used a pallet in previous years too out the top lay so its a cub basically without a top and i place some big stuff in there not 100% but its gets the job done ish haha

A pallet actually is a great idea if im firing on hard ground, normally use chipboard 8x4 is only £12.99 from B&Q with some no more nails to stick the cakes down. Cheap but gets the job done.

I just use a bucket with plenty of sand in it

 

[Maddog]

got a hold of some pallets again so will use these in my personal display and burn the excess wood removed in a small controlled bonfire
