Systems for installing an elongated stake to a support post to provide sturdiness to the support post, and methods of use thereof

A method of providing sturdiness to multiple support posts of different shapes, the method comprising:

• positioning an elongated stake having a pointed end to be inserted into the ground such that the elongated stake is positioned parallel to the support post that is substantially perpendicular to the ground, wherein the elongated stake has a first shape;
• removably attaching an insertion-assistance member to the elongated stake, wherein the insertion-assistance member includes:
• a hollow body to removably fit over an end of the elongated stake having the first shape, and
• a lip having a semi-circular shape and formed of a solid material, the lip extending in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the body such that a portion of the lip extends beyond the hollow body in the direction that is substantially perpendicular to the hollow body, wherein the lip is to receive force and then transmit the force to the elongated stake to drive it into the ground;
• after driving the elongated stake into the ground via the force received by the lip, removing the insertion-assistance member from the elongated stake;
• securing the elongated stake to the support post to provide sturdiness to the support post;
• and
• removably attaching the insertion-assistance member to a different elongated stake, having a second shape that is distinct from the first shape, by removably fitting the hollow body of the insertion-assistance member over an end of the different elongated stake having the second shape, such that the lip of the insertion-assistance member is used to receive additional force and transmit the additional force to the different elongated stake to drive the different elongated stake into the ground to thereby provide sturdiness to a different support post.

An insertion-assistance member used in a system for providing sturdiness to multiple support posts of different shapes, comprising:

• a hollow body to removably fit over an end of an elongated stake having a first shape, and a lip having a semi-circular shape and formed of a solid material, the lip extending in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the hollow body such that a portion of the lip extends beyond the body in the direction that is substantially perpendicular to the hollow body, wherein:
• the lip is to receive force and then transmit the force to the elongated stake to drive the elongated stake into the ground, and
• the elongated stake has a pointed end that is configured to be inserted into the ground such that the elongated stake is positioned parallel to the support post that is substantially perpendicular to the ground;
• and further wherein, after driving the elongated stake into the ground via the force received by the lip, the insertion-assistance member is configured to be removed from the elongated stake and the elongated stake is to then be secured to the support post to provide sturdiness to the support post, and
• the insertion-assistance member is to be removably attached to a different elongated stake, having a second shape that is distinct from the first shape, by removably fitting the hollow body of the insertion-assistance member over an end of the different elongated stake having the second shape, such that the lip of the insertion-assistance member is used to receive additional force and transmit the additional force to the different elongated stake to drive the different elongated stake into the ground to thereby provide sturdiness to a different support post.
