Glad it's not just me. On some sites takes longer to peg out than erect the awning! Unfortunately with the weight of my caravan hardstanding pitches are the order of the day but must say I prefer "half and half" where awning is on grass.

Prefer to use drill and metal screw pegs as have a bad back but often that is not up to the job so have also bought a big hammer.

Going by another forum this appears to be common place. This raises the question of why awning manufacturers still supply plastic pegs with their awnings when the plastic pegs are not fit for purpose?

We always use CC hardstandings and have never been unable toerect the awning, at least oh hasn't!

Personally i don't see the point of having half h/stranding and half grass and then put the awining on the grass bit. Surely the point of having h/standing is that when its wet you don''t get the problme of the grass turing to mud. But with the awning on the grass that is exactly what will happen.
