I now use screw-in pegs that you drive in with a battery drill. They should hold a lot more than conventional pegs.

We got 40cm marquee pegs from our local camp/caravanning shop for the awning storm straps, and carry a lump hammer for installing them. They are made out of rebar, and show no sign of shifting even in a gale.

how long are the pegs?
Not sure, I don't have them here. I think they are about 10 inches, but all I remember about them is that you can't pull them straight out, you have to unscrew them.

Meany, your image link is broken, so we can't see piccy you posted!
I used the screw in type pegs with a battery drill for my air awning and storm straps in a real beast of a storm last year (should really have taken awning down, definitely never meant to be left erected in gale force winds like that, but no opportunity, wind just came up without warning, so it took it's chances!), and it was fine.
Not that expensive if you shop around, typical here:

Hi Meanie
I have used these marque type pegs (12 inches long) for the last 3 years on our seasonal pitch never move.
I didn't purchase them from here I got them from a place in Wolverhampton (The Trade Counter) but cant see them on their website now. but found this site on ebay similar sort of price to what i paid for about 30 pegs.

Cheap and they do the job I use a claw hammer to put them in and to remove them and I have never had a problem with them and I have an array of other specialised pegs which I only use on hard standing if the ground is hard

i use a mix of screwpegs and rockpegs, infact the only sudden bad wind we have encountered in france pulled the awning rail away which had been screwed to our unit that the awning was attatched to so had to repair that but the pegs held the awning to the ground firmly. We had had the awning rail put on our unit rather than use the fiamma type awning that was on the unit
