How To Use C-Bites
Cultivate your plants your way with our versatile, durable, reusable C-BITE Stake clips. C-BITE clips work with most (trellising) garden stakes and canes and plant support products.
They hold stakes in up to three directions, allowing you to make rigid cages of any size and shape, as well as pre-tie moveable support lines and cross members, to create 140+ connecting combinations.

Proudly Made in America
C-BITEs are manufactured in America from UV- resistant non-virgin plastic. With the same tensile strength as copper, you can rely on this mighty little clip to hold your stakes together and keep your plants supported, harvest after harvest.







Wendi Phan, @itswendiland“My C-BITE trellis is going on its 4th year! I love that I can quickly make something sturdy to support my plants. They are the strongest things in the garden, even with the sun beating on them!”
Anthony @theyoungnonno“C-BITEs are a great, modern garden solution. They are versatile and easy to use for constructing all types of plant supports – literally anything you can imagine can be built to help grow better tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, beans and more. Plus, being made of solid and durable materials means they can be used across multiple seasons and over many years for any changing garden.“
Lannie @gingerfootgarden“I’ve been using C-BITE clips for a couple of years now, and I can’t say enough good things about them! They’ve completely changed the game for trellising, plant support, and even protecting my plants. I’ve used them to build A-frames for watermelons and sweet potatoes to grow vertically, attach tomato cages for my indeterminate tomatoes, and create all kinds of structures in the garden. I’m really impressed with how well they hold up against wind and the weight of the vines—so sturdy! What I love most about C-BITEs is their versatility. Whether you’re growing in containers or raised beds, the possibilities for creating garden structures are endless. They’re seriously a game changer! “
John @throw.heat“Living in a windy area, Thriving Design’s Sturdy Steel Garden Stakes and C-Bites have been an absolute game changer for my hot pepper growing. They can hold more weight than bamboo stakes, tolerate stronger wind gusts, and can also be used again year after year.”
Heather Andrews, The Thoughtful Gardener“C-BITE garden clips are a must-have for any gardener. Whether you need a trellis for a particular space or a plant with some extra support, C-Bites makes creating a perfect trellis easy and quick!”
Ken in Hawaii“Fellow and aspiring gardeners if you ever loved tinkering and getting creative than look no further as C-BITEs are your best friends to being creative! Let’s Gooo! Build, build, build a better garden! 😊”
