Seen another thread asking about and had to google them to see what they where, now thinking on getting some look really easy to use and a lot better than the ones that come on the tents. With these and my new Delta's my tent won't be going anywhere

Anyone else use them?

A lot of people have changed over to them. I've just bought a fifty pack, but not had a chance to use them yet. I know the system works perfectly, as I used them on my sailing dinghies years ago, and never had one fail.

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

I thinking 50pk of glow in the dark and reflective guyline should be enough to replace tent, canopy and windbreak ready for next year.

They are brilliant. Such a clever idea and they work really well. Glo in the dark are worth the extra cost as they do what they say.

Delta's are also brilliant. You will be well set up, just like us.

with the deltas and the cleats,it will be snaped guy lines or ripped tent if the wind gets up ,but at least the deltas and cleats will be able to be used again.

I have both the clam cleats and the deltas. The clam cleats make setting up my tent by myself a lot easier, I peg out the back two guy lines on one peg to hold up tent while constructing the front... The cleats make it easier to slide and hold the guy tight or to slacken of quickly if needed.

Best buy ever, deltas and cleats.

I bought some of these a few months ago (small size) along with a reel of Dyneema line.
I changed all the guys on my Kyham Igloo over to this set up and was really pleased......
They didn't creep at all and are very easy to adjust.
Not really an issue with my Igloo, but for you lightweight campers I'm sure it saves some weight and space as well!!!!

Looks like I've made a good choice then can't wait for them to come so I can get set on replacing.

Bought another pack of 50 for my new tent and changed all 33 sliders before my test pitch.

I opted for the normal white ones instead of paying extra for the glow in the dark as they do not stay glowing for long after dark.

Very good bit of kit indeed.

I stand to be corrected, but delta's are good cos they won't pull out? cam cleats are good so they won't shift,? use them together and the only thing that can give is the tent? guy ropes are designed so they will shift in the wind? if they don't give, logically the only thing that can give is the Tent? I would rather lose a pole than the material ripping.I would rather have Delta's in the ground and keep adjusting the guys, than them holding firm and the tent ripping.
