Recently come back from a couple of nights at Durdle Door Campsite and the last night the wind got up.

It got me thinking about tent pegs as the ones we use are the standard ones which came with the tent. So I was thinking about getting some stronger ones and wondered which to go for.

I have seen Heavy Duty plasic ones, Twisted metal ones and V-Grooved ones - so any advice would be great.

Many Thanks

What is a delta peg?

Seriously, Deltas rock.

Grab hold of Rob Orr and get him to sort you out with a few

Just be careful where you grab though......could bring a tear to a man's eye.

Rock pegs for the hardest ground,

Delta pegs for the remaining 90%

I can feel a storm coming...

We are apparently having a mega storm on Sunday

Wouldnt bother me at all but DS has a coming home party to go to for one of his friends who is recovering from the big C

But about the grabbing...

Would nice soft gloves make a difference? lol

When is the delta rock peg going to be ready? I need to try it :)

Angie

Angie, the soft gloves would be good especially if there was a directly proportionate decrease in the pressure around the grabbing area (or 'grabbage') whatever area that may be in. 

Delta Rocks, yep, doing it. Will let you know. I may even send you a free sample.

But if you get the urge to send then dont fight it lol

Angie

Thank you for that.

It seems its unanimous for Deltas - Where can I get some?

Rob, I use Deltas on  guylines and very good they are too. But I've never used them for pegging the rings (of the ring-n-pins), the ground loops round the edge of the flysheet or the big D-rings on the corner tensioning straps. Or on the pegging rubbers at the base of my TT flysheet.. Am I missing something here?

 (I use either ground pegs or beefed up 12" crook tops on the key points at the base, or V-profile pegs on the corner D-rings. I keep the pegs that came with the tent for non-essential cosmetic pegging inside the tent.) 

Forgive me Val, I am a man after all and I can only think of one thing...

guys.

Oh, and ground condition.
