We use plastics ones like the red ones shown here:

They are cruciform (X shaped) in section. We bought ours from camping shops a few years ago, paying considerably more than this. Only found this website recently and the prices are really good

Never had any problems with them. They don't bend, only managed to damage the head of one whilst hammering into stoney ground. they also don't rust and wash quite easily.

Rock pegs, simple very strong and do the job where ever you camp just one word of advice don't bother spending the extra for the glow in the dark ones as the sun fades them within a few trips so just not worth the extra money, or is that just me being a sad "oh gotta have them" gimmick freak !!!

Delta pegs on the guys are also a good move but be warned you can get carried away and end up with a rather large and heavy peg bag.

We use delta pegs for the guys, and they are as good as people say. We just use the normal pegs for the restt of the tent but are concidering investing in some other ones.
