I am looking to buy some small ti skewers, looking for something smaller then the ti Shepard stakes. I will be using them to stake down the corners of my S2S bug net. Any good sources for these? Thanks!

Spokes from a discarded bicycle wheel?
Edward..
"Smaller" is a pretty general term..
Smaller than Ti tent stakes in what way? Length, Diameter , Weight?
Ti tent stakes very quite a bit in diameter and length. There may something out their akready made that fits the bill.
It would seem to me the the snallest ,lightest Ti UL tent stakes made would be about right.
How about the Terra Nova 1 gram and 2 gram skewers?
Backcountry has them 6 for $25.95. Like everything that comes from the UK, they ain't cheap!
Edit: sorry, didn’t notice you were looking for something smaller.
These ones work great for me, best price and good length.
Titanium welding rod might work for you. Look on Amazon.
Yep, hard to get any lighter thsn 1 gram on thise Terra Nova stakes and they even call them "skewer" stakes..
They look more syitable for grilling small Kabobs than staking diwn a shelter ,but they look to be about what Ed is looking for?
Going over the specs, they seem to be 12CM long by 1.7 MM in diameter (about 1/16").. Perhaps Gary Dunkle here or someome else who works with Ti wire could sell you some a bit cheaper than Terra Nova? $4 per stake plus shipping is a little crazy.. Especially since a section if steel Wire coat hanger shaped the same way would only weight about 2 grams since the stuff is about 2mm thick.
On second thought (or is it third) stainless steel would be cheaper and, like titanium, is available on Amazon.
