You'll have to let us know how you get on with your new pegs and if you are finding their not holding as well as you'd like in windy conditions.
A point to remember, certain types of peg will hold twice the pulling force of a rock peg (which hasn't loads of surface area TBH), so by that theory a double crossed rock peg will hold the same pulling force, where as a 12" plastic peg with more surface area, cross pegged will (in theory) hold a far more.
So just a thought to bear in mind in very windy conditions, if you want peace of mind when the wind picks up, bang an extra peg in across the existing guy rope pegs which should (in theory) give you the same, if not more holding power than some other types of peg.
Thanks for the thoughts.
The lack of surface area of rock pegs is something I've given thought to and is why I only use them when the ground is likely to damage or restrict the use of other pegs in my collection. I will only be using my new rock pegs (yet to be ordered!!) together with my newly-acquired Delta Rocks (you need regular rock pegs to go with the plate section of the Delta Rocks); this, I believe, should deal with the issues you raise for although the rock pegs themselves do have limited surface area, combined with the Delta Rocks their ability to hold firm in windy conditions should be greatly enhanced.
