Summer is upon us in the UK and with many campers and holiday makers hoping to get away with their tents, it’s worth considering the essential tent accessories.
Many campsites and camping grounds have rough stoney soil, take a look at your old tent pegs for proof, you can almost guarantee there will be bent and damaged pegs from hitting stone and rock.
The other problem is that all metal pegs can get lost in the grass or become hard to see when pulling out of the ground. They nearly always get lost en route back home as well, usually due to being shoved in a bag.
One solution is to consider in this respect is to invest in a quality brand of tent peg such as Blue Diamond.
Blue Diamond have a great range of easy to find orange ‘hard ground’ rock pegs. They come in cases of twenty, Ideal for hard ground. They are steel pegs with orange nylon heads. The peg length is a useful 20.5cms and they come in a handy carry case to keep them safe when in transit.
While it may be considered an extra unnecessary cost to invest in tent pegs such as these, it is actually quite inexpensive at around £9.99 per box of twenty.
The time and hassle this will save when fiddling around with bent tent pegs or rooting around on your hands and knees in the grass will be well worth the effort. Don’t forget your rubber mallet too!
