With regard to using Deltas in sand. I use mine all the time for beach day camping.

The only difference is (perhaps I'm lucky in my beach having plenty of large stones) I just push them into the sand, and place a large stone on top. I've never had one pull out, on a very windy beach.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

I'm a delta user and do love them. However there are times when the winds blowing a hooly and the delta is holding firm that I think the only weak point is the connection of the guy to the tent or the surrounding areas. Sometimes I wonder whether it'd be best to have a flapping guy or a hole in the tent... just a thought that runs through my head but I still use them and it hasn't happened.... yet 17

My husband now whispers 'Delta Pegs' to me as he think that this is seductive - don't ask......!

We use deltas. Not sure how they'd be on a dry, stony pitch but on "normal" grass pitches there's definitely a difference to the hold strength over pretty much anything else.

Another word on Deltas that i didn't mention earlier, i have had to replace dozens of steel pegs (usually bending in hard ground) haven't had to replace a Delta yet (hammered into the same ground).

One point for storage while travelling, put them in a carrier bag and they fit perfectly under a seat, a space not much else will fit into.

To be fair, you'd be hard pushed to bend a proper hard ground peg.
