Do you mean a stake as in a stick or a trellis? Most places will carry bamboo or other stakes. Home depot and Lowes have several kinds of stakes and pre-made trellises. If you have a Big Lots near you, they have some very inexpensive ones depending on how big you need them.

I get this plastic mesh at Home Depot for about $7 a roll and use it for climbers outside and small climbers in pots. I give away so many plants that this is very a very economical solution for me. I just cut off a piece to make whatever circumference and height I want and run a bamboo stake through. For larger pots, I staple the mesh to firring strips.

I have also used chicken wire if the plant needs something really sturdy.I hope this isn't more than you ever wanted to know. Lol! good luck.
