Very reliable, especially in windy conditions

By Tyler Ranked #160 - Tents September 2, 2011

I've used these pegs twice. Once when I set up a 12'x16' tarp as a rain fly for scouts that forgot their tents. It was fairly windy at night with wind gusts I'm guessing upwards 25+ mph. I woke up due to the sound of the tarp flapping, concerned that the wind would yank the stakes out of the ground. They held all night and didn't budge. The second time was staking down an 8 man tent - again in windy conditions. No problems or concerns.

You do want to be aware that the pegs won't fit in standard tarp holes nor some tent holes. I was able to get around this by either using the attached rope and slipping it through the hole and putting the peg through the rope on the other side, or by getting creative with extra pieces of rope I had to fasten it with. Not too big a deal. The only problem I had was getting them out of the ground - but a kick and a yank usually did the trick.

Simply put, VERY durable, VERY reliable, and well worth the money.
