I don't think you have to actually try a piece of equipment personally to decide whether or not you like it. Campers, being the community they are, tend to speak to each other about products and see for themselves what their friends and aquaintances are using and how the products are used or how they work and how they survive in action. I think it would be a very stupid person with more money than sense who goes out and buys a product they have seen in use and don't like just to confirm they don't like them. I have friends who use deltas and I simply don't like them...personal choice (the pegs not the friends).

I don't think I have read anywhere that Deltas don't do the job they are supposed to do. I think we would soon hear about it if they continually failed, but other pegs do the job they are supposed to do as well so it's horses for courses.

Until very recently I always used the ordinary wire pegs that come with most tents with no problems (except for bending). I more recently tried the blue plastic pegs that come with Outwell tents and didn't like them either for various reasons...they still do a good job of holding the tent and guys down though.

I tried a few rock pegs out because I had to when I ended up with a particularly rocky pitch and liked them so much I bought the company...no I didn't that was a lie...I changed all my pegs to rock pegs and now use them permanently. They simply rock my boat, do what I want them to do and I have every confidence in them. I am sure deltas rock other people's boats although I have to say I rarely see them in use except by UKCS members so there must be a big market out there hungry for them

my delta's came to today they are bigger than we thought they would be oh is please thinks they are a great idea, will let u know how we think they work once we have used them so far so goo tho :)

thanks Rob Orr

Hi Rob we've just returned from a camp in Devon, and one camper in the next tent was asking how he could get hold of some Deltas without being on-line.

Have you a postal outlet?

(He was impressed with our stainless steel ones and their performance after a very windy night!)

Hi Steve and Sheila, I guess this would be fairly difficult unless you are in contact with that gentleman in which case you could pass on our details. Some people are on-line but don't like to use it for payment. He could telephone us though.

Floggitt, thank you. We're happy that you're happy with the product.

Used Delta pegs for the last 4 years, and just bought another set of 10 as I have now got a larger tent and canopy so need extra pegs.

Decided that this time I didn't want the 10% discount as you deserve to keep the cash.

Thanks.

Rob et al,

I am glad Rob is an active member on here, his views like everyone elses are valid regardless of whether you agree with them or not.

I keep a pack of 12 rock pegs in my tent bag on the off chance that the ground is too hard for the delta pegs that I prefer to use every time.  If my tent tent rips I will return it to the manufacturer. It is designed to be anchored to the ground and that is what I do to it, there is no wind speed rating on my tent therefore I expect it to survive. I lost a tent in the scottish highlands due to extreme weather, it was not the weathers fault, nor the tents, it was my lack of knowledge and p**s poor wire pegs as supplied by tent OEM, next time it will not be the pegs that let me down!
