Abstract: A protective stake cap adapted for mounting on top of a metal stake. The stake cap includes a hard plastic, tubular, hollow housing. The hollow housing includes a closed top and an open bottom. The open bottom is adapted for receiving a top portion of the metal stake inside the hollow housing. The inside of the housing includes four pair of parallel, spaced apart ribs. The ribs are designed to engage, in a press fit, a top portion of three sides of a metal stake having a “T” shaped cross section. One of each pair of ribs includes a rib fin. The rib fin is used to engage a top of the metal stake. Also, the rib fin is used to hold smaller diameter metal stakes, such as rebar, in a press fit.
