We use rock pegs like the ones below: http://www.camping-online.co.uk/tent-awning-accessories/tent-pegs/pyramid-rock-peg-and-hammer-kit.html Didn't get them from here and am sure you can find hem cheaper, but ours came in a bag like this and with a hammer. They get through everything!!! I have heard of Delta Pegs, but don't really know much about them. Perhaps someone could fill me in on their advantages/? Am I ok to continue using rock pegs for all lines/ropes? Many thanks!

Delta pegs are the one's to look out for. Although all the other names seem to do the trick. I suppose the one's that come with the tents are the rubbish ones. Around £1.99 for four is what I'm looking at then. I had no idea what price i would be looking at to spend. Thanks for all the help. Regards.

A question if you please..... a daft one at that, but not worthy of it's own thread, so apologies to the OP for butting in......
I bought a couple of boxes of These on my very first camping-shop expedition, but in all honesty, they haven't even been out of the box, as I just shove in the supplied wire pegs at the Ring & Pins/base of the tent, doubled at the corners, plastics for the skirting elastic loops, and yellow Deltas for all guys. (I have only been on fairly soft ground so far, in half-decent weather, so haven't "needed" to actually use rock pegs)
It has, however, just dawned on me..... surely that little swivelly plastic hook isn't going to keep the guy attached? And why the hole? Is that just for extracting? It seems a claw hammer is better than a puller for these, from what I've read on here?
Just seems a very small hook, although like I say, I haven't given them a try yet!
Obviously, with the T Bar type, the guy would loop right over the peg, but if I did that with these, then where does the swivelly plastic bit come into it?
I know..... Sorry!!!
PS:
I have tried to find a (close-up) pic of something similar in use, but have had no luck. So if anyone has one of their own.....
