I'd go with 30 too. I have no reason to suspect Michael isn't correct in saying 25, but err on the side of generosity.... and you never know when you might need a spare peg. We always carry spares.

I would say it depends on how solid you want it fixing, I have been known to double peg the awning down when expecting very windy conditions, including the storm strap. But on most occations just 1 per pegging point, Other things can require pegging though, some steps can be pegged into place, the Satellite dish I have can also be pegged down to the ground.
Just my thoughts!

I bought screws and washers from Screwfix and use them to hold the awning down in all types of ground using a battery drill of 18 Volts. I bought them to use in hard ground only but due to a serious shoulder injury have used them in all types of ground this year and will do from now on, even though my shoulder is now fixed. I think they were item number 60418 on www.screwfix.co.uk. Best if you have a local store you could look at before you buy but a lot cheaper than genuine screw pegs.

We have enough pegs in both rock pegs and grass (those red ones) pegs..... plus two very large pegs for the tie down strap if it is really windy.
