I use rerod -used for support in concrete- and weld a washer on it.
Lots of guys make a T but I've found that a trap chain can get tangled so it won't swivel. Especially in coon trapping you don't want to provide a solid stationary object for the coon to power out of the trap.
You can also make your own stakes by using angle iron. Drill a hole close to the top and put a S hook in it.
You can add a swivel -recommended- if you want.
I'm guesing the ready rod -threaded rod- would make stakes kinda expensive but maybe cheaper than hiring a welder to do it.
Keep an eye out at trapping conventions for stakes for sale. Lots of guys sell homemade stuff to defray their travel costs. Dicker with them on price.
best of luck
