OMG there is soooo much choice.  We have just brought a Voyager 6 and will be camping on grass during late spring, summer and early autumn each year.  Do we go plastic, metal, neon, or what? Any help much appreciated.

Thank you Reggiewac, have also just found the article on the site about Delta pegs as I hadn't heard of them (hardly surprising though as we are very new to camping so are still working it all out).  Husband has a broken arm at the moment so haven't even opened up the tent bag to see what is in there or look at the instructions, so assume it has tent pegs in there.  Am liking what I have read about the Deltas though.

I use the screw in type - saves a lot of hammering

Great review on pegs - good to share your findings

I dont go camping without Delta Pegs ,, with the rain and wind here in Scotland ,,, its a no brainer

Paired with Clamcleats,,,, 2 things less to worry about

Love our nylon delta pegs, but just couldn't get them into the dry, hard Norfolk ground a couple of week's ago - so glad that we always carry sufficient rock pegs for the whole tent.

A week later, we couldn't even get all the rock pegs out after an hour of hard work, a claw hammer, large adjustable spanner and hefty screwdriver... The tools gave way before the pegs (although we ended up needing more washers to replace the plastic tops of the rock pegs, which did suffer) - it was certain that the rock pegs weren't going to shift due to wind alone...
