I was wondering if there is anyone out there that makes T stake ends for 3/8" fiberglass rods?
I know years back I seen these at a convention..
I have a far amount of 30" cut offs I'd like to put to use if possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

3/8" is a little small for PVC, but you can probably find some 1/2" PVC tee fittings at most hardware stores for around 50 cents each that you could glue/epoxy on one end.

If I were to make them, I'd sleeve the main end with conduit and the same for the sleeve and weld them together.

Take a hammer and crimp the conduit into the fiberglass.

I think what youre referring to, was a piece of steel conduit about 3" long, with a rebar "tee-top" welded to it. the conduit fit fairly snug over the glass stake, and the conduit was "crimped" onto the glass stake, maybe with a chisel and hammer. BUT,,,i believe the "glass" stake was carbon fiber, not glass, and the glass might splinter when crimped, unlike the carbon rod. also, it was 1/2 inch and not 3/8th diameter, and I think the smaller glass stake would flex and therefore pull out a lot easier. hope this helps.
