Our "Dead Ringer" horseshoe stake holders are our heavy duty 1" holders designed for heavy use in tournaments, commercial court or park settings, or for anyone who just likes to have the best stuff. These new holders are the best and strongest version we have made thus far. We are very excited about this new improved version. Made from very thick and heavy walled steel flat stock and square tubing, our Dead Ringer models are built like a fire hydrant to easily provide you with a lifetime of pitching enjoyment. Design is patent pending.

New "Dead Ringer" Horseshoe Stake Holders.
Hold 1" stakes.
The price of the Dead Ringers has had to go up. I've never charged enough for them and the price of steel has been totally out of control lately. But you are getting some seriously hefty chunks of quality fabricated steel with this product. They are made from thick, heavy walled materials that are designed to last forever, but with that comes materials that are expensive, more difficult to cut, and wear out saw blades faster. It takes longer to drill holes in thick material. More welding wire is used, etc. They are expensive to produce, but these holders are a lifetime investment in your horseshoe pits; you won't have to purchase them again.
DEAD RINGER heavy duty stake holder specs:
1. Base is made from thick 3/8" x 2.5" steel flat stock with large 1/2" bolt holes. Attach to 6 x 6 with 1/2" lag bolts.
2. The column is made from 1-1/2 square steel tube with a 1/4" wall thickness. The stake is a very close fit inside the tube.
3. A large 5/8" stainless steel hex bolt holds the stake firmly in place in the holder. When used in conjunction with blue loctite on the threads, it's not coming loose until you take it loose with a wrench and the stake is held very securely in place in the holder.
4. The column has been shortened to 4". This is plenty long enough to hold the stake firmly, and it allows you to get a couple of more inches of soil, about 5", over the top of the holder when buried with 15" of the stake protruding.
With these holders, you'll never have to worry about the stakes getting knocked backward or sinking over time, and setting them up is infinitely more simple that just about any other method you've ever tried. And that's the real beauty of these things - it takes a lot of the hassle out of setting up a proper horseshoe court.
DEAD RINGER stake holders are $127.99 per set of two, shipping included. Painted with Rust Protector red.
Design is patent pending.
Heavy duty DEAD RINGER models. A large stainless steel 5/8" set screw holds the stake securely in the holder. A stainless hex jam nut prevents the set screw from coming loose. Put a few drops of blue loctite on the threads and it's not coming loose until you take it loose. The holder is fastened to the 6 X 6 with two large 1/2" lag bolts.
*Note Lag bolts are not included. Pick those up at Lowe's or Home Depot when you get your 6 x 6. 1/2" lag bolts in a 3" length are plenty long enough to hold them down securely. Use washers under the bolt heads like I did here in the photos. Drill a 3/8", or preferably 25/64" pilot hole for the lag bolts.
The 6 x 6's shown here are 30" in length and work just fine. You could go to a 36" length if you want but anything longer than that is unnecessary.
Quality craftsmanship is evident in everything we do at Knight Mfg.
It's almost a shame to hide welds this nice underground.

Our new "LEANER" standard duty 1" holders.
Design is patent pending.
Designed for serious back yard pitching, our new "LEANER" model standard duty 1" stake holders are meant for those who want a nice back yard pit but don't feel the need to have things extremely over-built. They're still plenty tough though and should last a lifetime.
LEANER 1" standard duty stake holder specs:
1. Base is made from thick 3/8" x 2" steel flat stock with 3/8" bolt holes.
Attach to 6 x 6 with 3/8" lag bolts.
2. The column is made from 1-1/4" square steel tube with a 1/8" wall
thickness. The stake is a very close fit inside the tube.
3. Two 3/8" stainless steel hex bolts with stainless lock washers hold the stake firmly in place in the holder. You can use loctite on the threads if you want, but with the twin bolts and lock washers, it's not really necessary.
4. The column is 4" long with a 1/8" wall.
LEANER models are $113.99 per set, Free shipping.
1" stakes are sold separately below.
The current batch of new Leaner holders that are being fabricated now ulilize one single welded 1/2" hex nut with stainless steel hex bolt to secure the stake in the holder, much like the design of the Dead Ringer and Backyard model holders. This design replaces the two smaller 3/8-16 bolts used on previous models. This was just to achieve design continuity across the board with the three models. It's simpler and works just as well.

Our "BACK YARD" model 3/4" holders.
Our smaller economy stake holders, The BACKYARD models, are geared toward the casual backyard pitcher on a budget. They are sized for the 3/4" diameter stakes that are commonly sold with "backyard" horseshoe sets at big box stores. I know that there are a ton of those sets out there. My first set was a Royal set from Walmart. And if you have a set of those and you've pitched very much at all, the stakes are probably leaned over backward from a lack of proper anchoring and support. These stake holders will fix that. They're smaller to fit the smaller stakes, but they're still built plenty tough with 3/8" thick bases and 1/8" wall thickness on the column. They are tilted forward at the proper 12 dergee angle and the stakes are held in place with a 7/16" stainless steel hex bolt with loctite. They attach to a length of pressure treated 6 x 6 with two 5/16" x 2" lag bolts. Or to save money, all you really need for these smaller versions is a pressure treated 2 x 6 (or even a 2 x 4 as shown below) that is 8 feet long. Cut the board into four 24" pieces and double two pieces together with deck screws like I did here in the photo. Bury that 15" deep in your pit and you're good to go.
3/4" stake holders are $97.99 per set of two, Free shipping.
$129.99 for a set of Backyard models with 3/4" stakes.
Design is patent pending.
Look here, see...
Attention: The Backyard model holder has an inside dimension of .775". So a true 3/4" stake, one with an outside dimension of .750", will easily slide right in with about .025" of extra wiggle room. Since most of my customers who buy the Backyard model already have the stakes, whether or not the stakes will fit is completely out of my control. Combine this with folks telling me they are using "pins", "pipes", "rods", "poles", "posts", "steaks" (Mmmm.... make mine a sirloin, well done)... You get the picture. The stakes I sell are 3/4" cold rolled round bar that measures .749" to .750" and fit perfectly. So please measure your *stakes* accurately before ordering. "They're about as big around as my thumb" isn't good enough.
