That sounds like a good idea but if the T is right at the top won't it just get wrecked like the pastic ones?

Speedcamp:

I had exactly the same experience in Norflok at half term - never exprienced pitching on such hard ground before in the last 5 years!    It was bending normal steel pegs at about a third way in, nylon deltas wouldn't go fully in either.   Ground not rocky, just been so dry.  Had to buy rock pegs, but then getting them out - what a struggle, though reassurring if it had been windy!  Luckly I had claw hammer, and this with a few taps from my other hammer got them out (pushed the plastic bit on the peg out of the way).  Now need to order some steel rock deltas and buy more rock pegs! [Deltas are great!] - need to be prepared for future as Norwich Camping will not be 10 mins down the road next time!  The kids pup tent (a force 10) had lightweight aluminum pegs - well they were completely useless - looked like spaghetti after the kids had tried hammering them in!
