Have tried them and am converted.

The problem of storage with the plastic ones has been overcome and go in like a dream.

We attach a bungee to the delta loop and the guy, which gives a greater element of flexibility for the whole unit.

Anyone else tried them out?

Was that a green one? It did look good but didn't shine for as long as I thought. I will ask again about additives though.

Hi Rob,

This might be a daft question but on your site you are selling the peg puller are these for ordinary pegs only, or can it be used on the delta pegs as I cannot see any holes to pull on only on the rock pegs

You can use them on any peg because the hook is short and strong and only bent just past 90 degrees.
There are a number of methods for removing Delta pegs.

OK, I think I am being a bit dense here......

I have yellow and steel deltas which I have used religiously with my tent, with great success.

I have just changed to a trailer tent, and am about to invest in some rock pegs. I now realise that these are just the "plate" and that "200 mm rock pegs are not included"

Can I use any rock pegs with these, or is there a specific one which is recommended/ fits? I can't see any rock pegs on Rob's site, so can anyone suggest a rock peg which would work well with these?

Thanks

I believe Rob keeps and sells the rock pegs, sourced them from China allegedly!

Hopefully, he'll be here to answer the question himself soon!

You can get rock pegs in most camping shops. They're mostly 8mm in diameter but to keep the balance with DeltaRocks they should be 200mm or 8" in length.

I have the yellow deltas.  I think they are really good.   I looked at the website but cant tell exactly what the rock anchors are for?     it says canopies - is that any tent canopy or something else like at tarp?  Are they better than the others or just different.
