5x Tennis Balls Used As Safety Caps for Garden Stakes, Posts & Star Pickets (Waterproof)

Note: These balls do not come pre-cut. You will cut them to your size required in your garden. These will arrive as regular used tennis balls.

If you've ever brushed past a garden stake and felt that sharp wooden edge, you'll know exactly why these clever little safety caps deserve a spot in every backyard.

Simply cut a slot into each ball and press it firmly onto the top of your stake or post.
