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

Product Information

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! We now have a GroundGrabba Junior for lower loads and harder grounds available with great holding power but not to the same degree as our Pro, Pro I and Pro II. Don’t take our word for it, see what RV Daily says

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. 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. http://www. caravantalk. co. uk/community/topic/119191-pegging-down-the-awning/?hl=%2Bscrew+%2Bpegs&do=findComment&comment=1400706 The video below shows how to stand with your legs slightly apart with the drill handle braced on the inside of your right leg as you penetrate the stake into the ground. This brace method could help reduce injury to your wrist if the stake hits an obstruction and sends the force upwards into the handle, causing the drill and your hand to violently twist – your leg will stop the drill from spinning and twisting your wrist. The Aldi pegs are very good but you do need to remove the plastic T and open up the holes so the T spins freely. I use 8mm long coach screws and penny washers now. I’ve found the best technique to driving pegs into hard standings if they won’t screw in is to strike them firmly but not too hard and ease them into the substrate rather than trying to get them in with one Thor-like blow.Screw in tent pegs are great for regular sand, really soft sand and loose earth, and for your standard camp ground earth. Instead of hammering your tent pegs in the old way, just screw these into and out of the ground in seconds with your rechargeable drill.

Like with anything new, it takes a few goes to learn how to use it. Test it out at home a few times before setting up your camp. 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. 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)! 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. Kim Rasmussen I Just wanted to say thankyou for your fantastic service, fast delivery and top product.
