Hi,

Just bought a new tent (well second hand one) and as i am a newbie to camping i wondered what are the best type of pegs to get. It comes with the bog standard ones, but i am sure i read somewhere that its best to buy some good quality ones.....any suggestions ??........anyone ??? :-)

you need different pegs for different reasons!

groundsheet pegs - so the kids dont hurt their feet when they are walking inside

bright ones for outside - so the kids (or you) dont fall over them

thick metal ones like screws & v shaped ones for important guys that hold the whole tent up

deltas - for the tail end of a hurricane!! (believe me - i've been in one in the gower with the deltas & they really work) search for them on this site

which leaves you the little metal ones they give you with the tent to peg the bottom down!!!

good luck!

Reading that i think i need all the luck i can get !! lol

I didn't realise there were so many different types, thanks very much for the info.

Rock pegs are a good bet too as some ground can look soft, till you realise your pegs are just not going in.

Cool campers use Delta Pegs.
