Blue Diamond Hard Ground Pegs

Bought to use with a gazebo, these are excellent quality pegs.Would recommend

Ground pegs are very good and the screw into the soil is very handy, makes them much more sturdy for anything attached to them.The plastic pieces are also very good quality and NOT brittle so you can get them out without breaking or bending the plastic parts.The downside for me is the case, the one I received is not the one pictured, which looks to have hinged plastic orange tabs. Mine has black plastic that part of the case that clips into place - or so it should! The case is warped at the front and fails to close properly. Not the end of the world but distance selling regulations means you should display what your selling! Still going to give these a 4 despite the box.

For years (and I do a lot of camping) I have made do with standard pegs which you get with a tent and have problems every time trying to get them in the ground without them bending when they hit a stone in the ground. As most of my camping is in the Alps or Snowdonia, you tend to get lot of stones in the ground! With these pegs, you need a good hammer (not a rubber mallet) to knock them in but they sink into the ground quite easily and if you hit something hard just hit the peg harder with the hammer and eventually it breaks it or pushes it out of the way. A good solid 4 start rating (I don't give anything 5 stars).

I ordered these after camping at a site with very stony ground, the original pegs bending easily. Later that day, at a specialist camping shop, I saw similar pegs available at 80p each; those I could just bend with my hands.these Blue Diamond pegs I can't bend, and tested one in the parking area outside my house, in the mortar between the bricks separating the spaces, using a 2lb lump hammer:- 10 medium strikes put the peg in 1/4", but no bend. I assume the pegs are extremely hard, as is the mortar.Shall we say, I'm well pleased, especially as they arrived in very good time.

This is the second pack of these I've bought (for another of our tents). We regularly go camping in areas where the ground is full of flints which easily bends the pegs supplied with tents.I've regularly smashed these into the ground using a lump hammer to get through the flints and not a single one has ever bent.To get them out, I use one of those 75p 'cheap-n-cheerful' peg extractors from the cheap shopsThey come in a nice plastic case, so they are nicely kept all together too.Nothing more to say really because I've already bought the same ones again.

Was heading down to a campsite where the reviews warned of the hard ground - so bought these. And we needed them - the ground was rock solid but these were just the job. Even tho - some of these did bend, but that was when I hit the big stones and concrete around the edges of the awning pitch - but they were easily straightened. And - at the end of the break - they were easily removed.One note however - make sure you have a steel hammer to drive them in, they'll mangle any rubber or wooden mallet used on them.

On a previous trip I had difficulty pegging the awning down on a pebbled pitch in the wind-the plastic and metal pegs I had were difficult to get in or get to stay in. Tried these out on my next trip where part of the pitch had a lot of sub soil rock, so normal pegs would not go in. Tried these and they worked an absolute treat. Went in easy, stayed in and managed to extract them without too much of a fight. The end points remained sharp and so far the plastic ends are fine. Would definitely recommend.

I expected them to be bullet proof but still managed to bend some of themBetter than normal cheap thin ones
