Comparison of Four Camouflage Net Stakes in Sandy Soils.

Abstract

This report contains an evaluation of the performance of four camouflage net stakes in three types of sandy soils. The force which caused stake creep and the maximum holding force were determined for two stake inclinations and two pull angles. The results of the tests on the anchoring capability of the stakes show that the type 7 developmental stake is superior to the standard stake (type 1), the modified Artic stake (type 3), and the second developmental stake (type 6) in all soils and in all stake/force geometries. Deformation of both developmental stakes was observed and recommendation was made to overcome this shortcoming by heat treatment or by increasing the thickness of the metal.
