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

Product Information

I carry a rechargeable SDS drill with an 8mm masonry bit for the really tough hard standings. Useful to wind the pegs out afterwards and spin the steadies up and down. Daniel Marron Brought a set of these bad boys at the camping show Feb 2018, the best set of pegs ever. We have a camp trailer and I set the misses up with the cordless drill and away she goes. Super easy to go in, easy to drill out. Great product. Depending on the density of the ground and the speed you use to drive the stake into the ground, you will feel the GroundGrabba bite/grip or just spin. If you drill too fast, you may end up boring a hole and the GroundGrabba won’t actually bite into the ground. Go slower and use more downward pressure until you feel the tent stake ‘hold’ the ground.

No, we are men -the more power tools the better! I've often wondered if I could convert my framing gun to fire awning pegs .... The constabulary might not like it much though Save time and effort setting up or taking down camp with these Australian designed and made pegs for tents or annexes. Read the independent review RV daily conducted on our GroundGrabba ground anchors and see how they compare to other ground stakes on the market. They test them against traditional tent pegs and measure the load that they can withstand before pulling out of hard ground and beach sand. A little hint – our steel stakes can withstand the most tension out of all the tent pegs, at over 700kg (over 1500lb)! We’ve all been there – hammering in a dozen or more traditional tent pegs and being utterly exhausted afterwards. Not to mention how it feels when one or two slip out in high winds and you’re off trying to catch your tarp and secure it again. See our demonstration on how our ground anchor stakes compare to hammer-in tent pegs by watching the video below. Sometimes the ‘new way’ is simply better!

The Kampa ones are good on grass but useless on hard standings. I use the giant nail type with a good lump hammer. I also carry a crowbar to remove them easily. The Wing Collar is used with a Ground Dog screw in peg, when using the Anchor Plate Kit to secure the awning leg vertically. I bought some screw in pegs from Aldi, last year. Tried them once - absolutely useless. Even starting them with a lump hammer (defeating the object of them, IMO) they wouldn't go in. Just spun around and I agree that there is a danger of catching fingers / awning ladders as the top spins round. I hate putting the awning up on a hardstanding - which is why we invariably go to places where we can have a nice grass pitch! from the drill, which is battery powered. I do have an air powered one which needs the compressor, but hat maybe is slightly over the top. I have never understood the shape and usefulness of the plastic top on these (any) pegs and they are usually broken easily by a misplaced hammer blow (ouch!). I now put a penny washer under the top, it holds the ladder strip much better.

Take your point about it being dangerous though so may just go with some of the above and maybe a few extra long ones just in case.

At last you can securely anchor an awning leg vertically when detached from the side of a Caravan/Motorhome, with a Caravan Rollout Awning Anchor Kit. Coach bolts & coach screws are made of steel and offer different finishes or coatings, including stainless steel, Bright Zinc Plated, and Passivated Hot Dipped Galvanised, to name a few

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. The idea of screw in sounds fine, and on something soft, where the point can continue straight down, they're fine, but so often it just comes up against a stone and there isn't enough grip behind it (even with me leaning on the drill) to go any further, so it just spins. 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. I have moved on to the big nail type, as long and as big as possible, big club hammer (4lb) and pull them out by gripping the top with a pair of Mole grips, straight pull and Robert is your Dads brother. I have a few bent ones but I have never been beaten by a hard standing yet. Even on soft ground if you use the longest you can find (seem to be green topped) you can usually get some decent grip. http://www. caravantalk. co. uk/community/topic/117475-bit-of-a-basic-question-but/?hl=%2Bscrew+%2Bpegs&do=findComment&comment=1370899I realise that some are "less able" and so have to try anything that may help but gadgets and labour saving devices are not for me just yet. Or, you could use our new GroundGrabba Junior which has threads that do not protrude out from the shaft making them easier to screw into harder grounds. But be awaare they do not hold the same loads as the Pro series. Screw-in tent pegs make camping so much easier. If there’s one thing you need in your camping equipment, it’s a screw-in tent peg that you know will keep your tent, caravan awning or annexe in place.
