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

Product Information

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. Durable, strong and extremely practical, the Screw Pro Pegs from Blue Diamond feature a 20cm screw-in steel shaft with a tapered steel spike to drive into any ground type and keep your tent or awning safe and secure. Featuring a 13mm bolt head on each peg, you can drive these into the ground using a cordless drill to achieve optimum holding capacity. A must-have for any camper.

Being a screw-in design, a hammer is replaced by a 12V drill, although a shifter, spanner, ratchet or a hand brace (like your caravan leg winder) can be used to insert and extract the pegs. We said it earlier, however, it’s super important. Always carry spare tent pegs – because you never know! At Winfields Outdoors, we can’t express enough to customers how important having better quality or the correct peg for the correct ground is for your tent, shelter, or awning.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. 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. 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. We're currently on a Big Lap of Australia living out of our 4WD and Hybrid Camper Trailer with our two young boys.

I had a couple of guys who doubted how secure these pegs would be until I challenged them to join forces and pull them out. Compared to large, traditional pegs, these drill in tent pegs are much lighter, and you get away with much smaller pegs as they provide far more grab into the ground than a traditional peg. I’d have no issues using half size screw in pegs, as long as the ground is solid. Using Screw in Tent Pegs The major issue with traditional pegs is that they can be a mission to pull out. Sure, you can use another peg to make it easier, or a peg removal tool, but sometimes you still struggle for a long time, and that’s not much fun. The screw in pegs simply unwind, and cause you no stress or issues at all. Light weight 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. Over the couple of years that we had it the corner that you hit got so flattened down that they would snap off, and you’d be left with just a piece of straight peg. Easy to take outAfter several years of using these, I finally broke a couple. 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.

We are dedicated to exploring all that touring has to offer, ensuring excellent service is provided to our membership. 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. 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.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 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.

Delivered Monday to Saturday 8am-8pm, excluding bank holidays. Once despatched you will receive updates from the courier. I have seen people make these up using long tek screws and washers welded to the top, but for the price that you can buy them I really don’t see why you would. I’ve snapped and bent a couple

If you drive tent pegs into the ground at a 45-degree angle towards your tent, it’ll help to create more grip and overall strength.
