 ie .... me!

This has probably been explained loads of times already, but if Delta pegs are so very very hard to shift, how do you get them out of the ground when its time to take the tent down?

I have been wondering about buying some but am slightly worried about not being able to extract them from a pitch! MT

MT.

They pull out easier than normal pegs due to the straight edge on them that you can grip, you dont need an extractor for them, the reason they stay in the ground is due to the shape of them, the more they are pulled from the guy rope the more they go into the ground, maybe Rob can explain it easier for you lol.

Hopefully these pics might help MT

Thats if we can see them lol.

Oic!

Brilliant, thanks. MT

Hi Merry Terrier,

tension on the peg creates a tiny space at the back of the spike. This means that the peg itself is sitting in a slot or hole slightly bigger than itself. You will find a little bit of drag on removal. You can still use extractors to save you bending too far.
The pegs lay totally level with the ground when in use but is easy to push an extractor under the lip.

They look fab, never really understood them before, are they expensive?

Hi Tilly,

Not really expensive at 99p each (nylon composite). They could save your tent.

Thanks Chris. Tilly, don't forget 10% UKCS discount = 90p

That's fab, thanks Chris.

Do you replace all your pegs with them or just a few? I was thinking of ordering 10, is that enough?

Last year we had wonderful weather everytime we went camping but I just know this year we'll get some of the windy/rainy stuff
