A combination turf stake and frame construction assembly for establishing a framework construction upon a ground surface. The turf stake includes an elongate spike portion having a first inserting end, a second supporting end and a plurality of vane portions projecting in circumferentially spaced apart and axially directed fashion substantially along the spike portion. A substantially polygonal shaped body defining a hollowed and interior cavity is integrally formed atop the second supporting end of the turf stake and substantially corresponds to a likewise polygonally shaped and inserting end of a selected elongate frame construction member so as to engage the elongate member in a friction fit manner. A plurality of turf stakes and frame construction members can be employed to assemble any desired framework construction. Both the turf stakes and frame construction members can be further internally hollowed to facilitate the communication of fluid, such as water, through an interconnecting network of the assembly and to provide irrigation and watering to plants or like vegetation.

[ I claim:] [1.] A turf stake for use in assembling an above-ground structural assembly, the structural assembly including any number of individual and elongate members, each of the elongate members being cylindrical shaped in cross section, said turf stake capable of being forcibly engaged by a blunt headed object to a selected underground location and comprising:an elongate spike portion having a first inserting end, a second supporting end and a plurality of vane portions projecting in circumferentially spaced apart and axially directed fashion substantially along said spike portion;said turf stake further including foundation means integrally formed upon said second supporting end of said spike portion, said foundation means including a substantially cylindrical shaped body defining a hollowed and interior cavity, a selected end of a corresponding cylindrical shaped elongate member capable of being received in a twisting, inserting and frictionally engaging manner within said hollowed and interior cavity so that the selected elongate member extends in an upward and axial direction away from said turf stake; andsaid turf stake further including a planar surface extending in a laterally directed fashion from an upper end of said foundation means and with respect to said spike portion, a webbed reinforcing portion extending from an underside of said planar surface and to exterior connecting surfaces established between said cylindrical shaped body and said second supporting end of said spike portion, said planar surface capable of imparting a driving force created by downward motion of said blunt-headed object to said first inserting end of said spike portion to facilitate engagement of said turf stake to the underground location.
