Tent Peg Buying Strategy 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.

When choosing the best tent pegs, the surface area and length are important features to focus on. Typically, the holding power of the pegs is directly proportional to the length and surface area. 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.

The wire tent peg is the most popular type. This is because it is included in most tents you buy as the standard peg. Typically, wire tent pegs are designed to cater to most types of grounds. However, since there are a myriad variety of tents in the market too, wire tent pegs aren’t always the best choice. If you're off camping, you'll need some camping equipment to help you along the way - read our buyer's guide to find out more. Knowing how to choose the best tent pegs for your needs is highly crucial. You want your tent pegs to offer adequate stability and hold on to your tent to ensure it performs the way it should. Depending on the height, V tent pegs are a more versatile type. This is because they work great for all ground types. Typically, V tent pegs are ideal for the more crucial parts of the tent such as the main pegging points – four corners and main guyline. Due to their design, V tent pegs also deliver great strength to your tent. 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!Blue Screw offers two plastic pegs at 310 and 580mm long. They are ideal in sandy environments with exceptional high-hold abilities. Blue Screw suggest its pegs work well in snow, sloppy mud and underwater too, which would be ideal for a boat mooring. The rope hook on top is large enough to attach multiple guy ropes. This product is aimed squarely at sand and soft soil use; forget trying to twist it into hard ground – it simply won’t work. As the Blue Screw is so flexible and long, you need to ensure it’s wound all the way in if pulling it at an angle, but works equally as well if screwed in line with the rope pull instead of at an angle, which could bend or twist the shaft beyond its limits.

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. If you often set up camp with a canopy tent on the beach or other areas with soft sediment, the Orange Screw Ultimate Ground Anchor is the stake for you. Its screw design, flexible plastic material, and length are the perfect recipe for a lightweight, durable, robust holding power machine in loose sediment where other stake designs struggle. Another bonus is that these screws do not require a hammer or an awkward balancing act to install by foot. Rather they use a plastic tube that threads through the top of the anchor for extra leverage to screw in by hand. Even if the anchor can only be installed 50% into the ground, the natural flexibility of the plastic and effective traction of the screw in the ground still provides an awesome hold.

Ratings & Reviews

A rubber mallet or a camping hammer with a flat striking surface can help you apply more force without damaging the peg. You will come across a wide selection of tent begs. Thus, you want to understand how effective each tent peg type is. 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. 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.
