Galvanized, outdoor, static hardware

The clamp that holds a prop upright when the wire pins fold

A cast galvanized band clamp with a wing screw on top and a short drilled post inside the oval. You cinch the band around a stake or a piece of conduit, thumb the screw down, and the prop stops pivoting. It lives at the base of whatever stands on the front lawn, down in the grass where nobody looks.

Hand-tight, wing screw on top

The wing screw on top turns with a thumb and finger, so setting the lean is a hands-only job. Set the prop, walk out to the sidewalk, come back and bring it around a few degrees without going to the garage for anything.

Cast metal where wire pins fold

The wire pins that came with your props bend in the first real gust and the prop goes flat. This is cast metal that bites and stays bitten, so the silhouette you set at dusk is the same one people see at midnight.

Drilled post inside the band

The short post standing inside the oval is drilled through the side, so a pin or a thin rod can cross it and keep the clamp from riding up. The stake or the conduit itself sits in the band — that is the part you cinch down.

Built for outdoors

What comes off the morning after

On the night itself it does nothing you can see — the prop just stands where you set it while people walk past. The morning after, back the wing screw off, knock the dirt loose, and it goes into the tote with the stakes instead of the trash. Galvanized hardware carries over to next October.

What does it clamp onto?

A stake or a piece of conduit. The band goes around it, the wing screw on top thumbs down, and the prop stops pivoting on the thing that is holding it up.

Do I need a tool?

No. The wing screw turns with a thumb and finger, so setting the lean is a hands-only job. Set the prop, walk out to the sidewalk, come back and bring it around a few degrees without going to the garage for anything.

What is the post inside the band for?

It is drilled through the side, so a pin or a thin rod can cross it and keep the clamp from riding up the stake under load. The stake or conduit itself sits in the band — that is the part you cinch down.

Why not just use the pins that came with the prop?

Wire pins bend in the first real gust and the prop goes flat. This is cast metal that bites and stays bitten, so the silhouette you set at dusk is the same one people see at midnight.

Will it rust out over the season?

It is galvanized, so it sits through October rain and still turns when you back the screw off. It carries over to next October rather than going in the trash.

Does it show from the sidewalk?

No. It lives at the base of whatever stands on the front lawn, down in the grass where nobody looks. On the night itself it does nothing you can see — the prop just stands where you set it.
