Customers always ask me if the reflective tape on a snow stake is important. It’s actually the number one question we get when plow guys are trying to stick to a budget for their snow stakes. If you get plain markers without the tape, you save about 20% on price. Problem is, fiberglass can’t glow in the dark. Even with our fluorescent color stakes, without the tape, they simply will not reflect. And regardless of what the competition may tell you about their snow stakes, theirs won’t either.

In the video, it is clear to see that our extreme visibility reflective tape shines right back at you making it easy to see where the road ends. This application in particular is in a rural area where there isn’t much light, so using your stakes as a guide is even more important and pretty much the only tool the snow plow truck has to rely on.

In my opinion, a commercial or town contractor should always get reflective snow stakes. Not only does it save the plow companies money in replacement cost, it can mean the difference between a safe plowing night and a potential accident.
