Tent Pegging Guide

You may have the best car in the world but it will only be as good as its tyres.

The same goes for a tent. To keep it firmly on the ground it needs to be fully pitched correctly using the right pegs for the job so build up a collection of pegs to meet all ground and weather conditions.

Eight great pegs to pack

Skewer – Use for footprint and groundsheet 

Wood – Four big wooden stakes are great for main guys in soft conditions

Plastic – Long for main and side guys, shorter for tent walls, ideal for soft to medium conditions with few stones 

Metal – Use for any pegging point when on medium to hard ground but V-profile perfect for main guys and U-profile for general guylines

Tarzan rock pegs – Nail that stony ground

Top Tips

1. Ask the site owners what pegs they would recommend using on their site

2. Always fully peg out a tent in case the weather suddenly turns

3. Always use a mallet to hammer in pegs to prevent accidents

4. Always use a peg extractor to remove pegs to prevent accidents and damage

5. Clean and repair your pegs when you get back. Replace any missing and store separate to avoid potential damage to the tent fabric.
