hi guys i have 24 delta pegs for my vermont xl and extension

i have used these in very hi winds and guess what they stay put

however they are a complete mare to remove from the ground even with a tent peg puller

PS.I AM NOT A DELTA PEG RETAILER

Hi Chris, I can imagine that there may be times when Delta pegs could become wedged in between stones. Also, sharp or flat stones could act like the barbs on a fishing hook making their retrieval difficult.

In good soil, extraction should be simple. As Brainhertz says, you must pull back on the peg at the angle it went in.

How can you tell if Delta pegs are genuine ? What is the imprint Rob refers to ?

It would be difficult Sheryl. I have one in front of me that was made in China (with permission) for a manufacturer of a golf training aid called 'Glideball'.

It's very easy these days to copy an existing piece and produce a mould. This pseudo-Delta has a very smooth surface though, whereas ours has a finely pitted surface due to the mould being made by 'spark erosion'.
The font is also slightly different in the wording and there are tiny amounts of 'skin' around the ejection points. All in all though, a very good replica. Ours will have our website, registered design and a small diagram.

There should only be one mould in this country though.

I find that you have to pull them at an angle - usually about 45 degrees back away from the tent.

I can see me falling flat on my harris doing this.

 

We'll have to sell tickets.

Hi Helen, I'm not completely sure but looking at photos I would imagine around 16.

Thanks Rob! Just placed an order.

I think I have been a bit stupid in ordering, for some reason I thought 4 pegs would be enough for 4 man tent ( my logic was one for each corner)

 Duhhh oh well at least I get to have a test run with them before ordering more

Feel I just have to put my five pennyworth in -

I bought some delta pegs for when we put our new tent up for the first time - the ground was soft and I used them to peg everything down.  That first night, it blew - (30 mph it was forecast) and nothing moved.  After that I know I wouldn't choose to use anything else, in fact I'm going to order some more and use one to add some clout to the useless tether I bought for my GSD!

Out of curiosity I pegged a spare rope in with one of the pegs we got with the tent, I only needed to tug on it gently and the thing came straight out!  If we'd used those, I don't think the tent would have been there in the morning! 

There's been a lot of talk about these Delta's but surely it's got to the proof of the pudding ...
