hi peeps, I have been sprting my camping equipment out, as I will be using the tent and selling the TT

but I cant find the tent pegs, can someone recommend some good but not to pricey ones, I have only ever had pegs that came with the tent (metal ones)

and can I buy online, I dont want to risk a drive to a camping/caravaning store, sheesh I would over spend!

and if I am on the wrong board move me pleaseeee

the wee wire pegs that come with tents are only okay for points that dont bear a lot of stress. this is what i use with the awning/tents

delta pegs for guy ropes
rock pegs for hard ground and stress bearing points (the corners mainly) http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/product/9441-Hard_Ground_Pegs_(Case_of_20)
plastic awning pegs elsewhere, they grab a good grip of the ground http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/product/1176-8_inch_Plastic_Awning_/_Tent_peg_-_Pack_of_10
wee wire pegs for bedrooms, groundsheets and anywhere that doesnt bear much weight http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/product/1966-9_inch_Wire_Awning_/_Tent_Peg__(Pack_of_10)

pound shop rubber mallet for knocking them in and a good extractor for getting them out

These are very strong and held my guy ropes fast under severe storm conditions this year. They are much cheaper and at least as strong as the Delta pegs, which I have also used.

Deltas a must with any outfit! in my opinion.Unless you know the ground you will need a selection of pegs
