Ground Sleeves for 3-inch Racks

The Ground Sleeve is an OPTIONAL accessory that is used in conjunction with your aluminum ground stake (that was included with your gourd rack purchase).  When installed the sleeve is flush with the ground.  You insert your aluminum ground stake inside the installed sleeve.  The inserted ground stake will be 24-inches above ground, and you will slip your pole over that.  Ground Sleeves include 2 plastic caps and a stop pin that will keep your ground stake at the proper above ground height.  

Ground Sleeves need to be installed before a gourd rack is in place.  If you are moving your pole and you have cemented a ground stake into the ground, you will need to purchase both a ground stake and a ground sleeve.
