Blue Diamond Screw Tent Pegs - 20 pack, Purple, One Size

Product Information

With my drill I just wind the appropriate peg into the ground and the job is secure until I need to move. If you’ve not used them before, know that everyone who has them raves about them, for good reason. Over the years, camping has become so much easier, and more comfortable, and little inventions like this go a long way to making this happen. https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Screws+%26+Fixings/d90/Coach+%26+Roof+Bolts/sd1670/Coach+Screw/p78511 The first pull was set to be pulling the peg out of the ground at a 45° angle, replicating use on a tarp, awning or tent – in effect, trying to bend the peg as well as pulling it free from the ground, and that’s a no-no for some of these pegs. Made from Aluminium Alloy, the Big Dog screw in peg is 35cm long, and has a left aggressive thread, which allows the peg to secure awnings etc. in gravel, or soft ground.

No doubt there are a couple of best screw in tent pegs, but for us the Bunnings Whites option works just fine. Simple, easy to use and strong as Should you get a set of screw in pegs? We havn’t had an opportunity to use the guy ropes and anchors yet, it bought them on my Eder brother’s recommendation so I am sure they are fine.These heavy duty steel tent pegs make light work of hard ground. This Blue Diamond Screw Tent Pegs come in a box of 20 and can be used with a cordless drill for minimal effort when pitching. But maybe my insertion technique is wrong. I'm using a cordless drill and even at low speed they don't grip and screw in. So I ended up banging them in. I have seen them successfully used but only as R2B suggests - by starting off with a hammer first. Pagination: Showing 1 - 10 of 36 Peggy Peg can even supply long masonry bits to pre-drill holes into ridiculously hard ground. A combo tool can be used to help twist the pegs into the ground should your drill not do the job and there are purpose-designed anchor plates that accommodate up to seven separate pegs for extra ground-hugging force as well as slots to take awning legs. Peggy Peg offers many different lengths and diameters, as well as aluminium and UV reinforced fibreglass pegs. A great design feature is the rope clips that slot over the hex-shaped head onto the main shaft. The clip can be used anywhere on the shaft meaning the peg doesn’t have to be drilled all the way in to still allow a pull from ground level, which will reduce potential peg damage. Attaching to the clip is a guy rope ladder, which replaces the steel spring on most guy ropes.

These are a great choice for use on all ground types, depending on the length of the peg. We would recommend that ‘V’ pegs should be used on the main pegging points i.e. four corners of your tent and main guyline/storm straps. It is easy to sweep because it is taught across the ground and it is no longer a trip hazard as it was before.

The first one snapped from too much torque on the drill, trying to go into seriously hard ground, and it basically just twisted the steel off.Just bought some of these, what a great idea. Many years ago we were setting up a tent in a caravan park and bending pegs due to the hard ground, finally found a soft spot only for the peg to go straight into a poly water pipe less than 8 inches deep. After drying ourselves and confronting the park manager, they were very easy going, we helped them repair the pipe, even gave us a beer for our trouble. Gotta love camping

We are very pleased with our Bunnings Screw in Pegs, and have recommended them to a heap of people already. Lastly, always follow the seam of your tent when pegging guylines or ensuring pegging points are taught. We said it earlier, however, it’s super important. Always carry spare tent pegs – because you never know!

Peggy Peg also do a plastic fibre glass version but I suspect they would disintegrate in a typical hardstanding pitch.

We're currently on a Big Lap of Australia living out of our 4WD and Hybrid Camper Trailer with our two young boys. You can manually install some of these, but it takes more time, and unless you are very limited with what you can take, a drill is well and truly worth throwing in. A mallet is usually needed if you’re planning to pitch a larger sized tent (e.g. a family tent) or setting up a home on particularly hard ground, as it can be near impossible to secure tent pegs in place in place by hand in these scenarios. The slightly smaller ones for all the general securing of the walls and the smaller diameter ones for securing the floor matting. Anyone found any pegs that screw in with minimum effort and hold? Or can someone explain how they manage with the common screw pegs?

Most pegs are hammered in, the advantage with the bolts above is that they don't bend and last forever, even when you get a bit enthusiastic with the hammer.With our previous soft floor camper trailer, we had to put pegs into the corners of the tent as a minimum, and I had some big 12mm steel pegs that were about 400mm long. So, better safe than sorry! Even if your tent does come with pegs, take spares with you to avoid having to end your camping holiday early. Where can I buy tent pegs? To install them, just use the drill to wind the screw into the ground, at a 45 degree angle, or a little more vertical and hook what you need onto them. The main reason for the drill driven tent pegs being so good is they can be used in hard ground. This means crushed limestone, gravel or even compacted dirt is no issue at all.
