Expert Advice on Mallets, Guys & Pegs
Tent Peg Guide
Tent Pegs are a camping essential. We all use them to secure our tents and awnings,but with there being so many variations avaliable, do we know the tent pegs we actually need ?
Well here at World of Camping we have a tent peg range to suit everyone’s needs (Don’t get too excited!). I shall run through the options campers have when it comes to selecting the right tent pegs.
Steel Pegs
All too often World of Camping hears stories of broken pegs and frayed tempers of campers who bend and break pegs in hard or stony ground. These traditional hard steel ground pegs will glide through the toughest ground. A no nonsense way to ensure your pitching experience remains calm! Steel pegs are considerably heavier than other peg alternatives, which leads people to using lighter aluminium tent pegs. Ideal for larger family tents and awnings.
- Comes with plastic carry case
- Peg length 20.5 cm
Aluminium Pegs
Aluminium tent pegs are great for hiking and on the move camping, this is due to them being extremely lightweight. Aluminium tent pegs are very affordable and widely available. On the negative side, tent pegs made from aluminium are more prone to bending and snapping when comparing them to the stronger steel peg. Many people opt for a steel peg if they are going to be stationary for a longer period of time. Ideal for smaller tents and wilderness camping.
- Lightweight
- Inexpensive
- Come in a wide range of lengths and styles
Biodegradable Pegs
An Eco friendly alternative to standard pegs. If these accidentally get left behind in the ground when you've packed up and left, they won't cause long-term problems underfoot for pets and children. Also a great option for festivals where land is used for farming the rest of the year - avoiding harm to livestock and damage to machinery. Perfect for festival goers.
