Dear Amazon: The top of the stake has a hole through which you can pass a rope. br>And another rope for attaching your canopy rings and other items. br>With best wishes,br>Eurmax USA.
These stakes were purchased to replace the thin aluminum stakes that came with our tent, which we use mostly in fields with the Scouts. They're quite resilient. If necessary, a hammer can be used to pound them in. Small rocks pose no problem, but a large rock may cause damage to the peg. You have no idea what the surface of your prepared camp pad site is like.
They're too heavy to carry in a bag if they're packed in a box.

I bought these on the spur of the moment. I bought it mostly because I'm a sucker for camping gear, especially when it's not too expensive, but we were going to Guadalupe Mountains National Park in far West Texas, and the area is known for high winds, so I figured an $18 impulse buy could easily be disguised as peace of mind. We were extremely happy with our purchase. To the person who claimed that these aren't tent stakes: I'm guessing he's never slept in a national park in west Texas on a windy night. br>br>As the week progressed, the winds grew stronger, until my wife and I were pretending to sleep one evening with sustained winds of 40 to 50 miles per hour. 45 miles per hour with gusts up to 55 miles per hour. This was our first night in our tent with our kids on a windy night, so I was a little nervous. Every few hours, nelly self double-checked the straps and guy lines to make sure our Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8 didn't roll over. We had a total of 30 people. br>br> The stakes remained stationary at 45 mph for about 20 hours. The guy lines' slack never loosened, and I worried (as a father should) for no reason. These things have been rock solid since I hammered them into the ground, and they're strong enough to not bend when struck with a regular tent stake. I think this is the best $20 I've ever spent on camping gear!.
The hole in the top of the crossbar is about 11 mm in diameter. The actual stake measures around 8 mm in diameter. The distance between the stake's tip and the crossbar is about 11 inches. My stakes have a black coating on them. BONUS: I was surprised to find rope in my package. For my holiday inflatables, I purchased these stakes. I broke all but one of the plastic stakes that came with our inflatable dragon last year, and I needed to replace them. These stakes were ideal for the job. It was extremely simple to use them. When they were installed, the ropes were long and heavy enough that they didn't pull them out of the soft ground. After a month, it was simple to remove from the frozen snowy yard. After a month in the ground, there was no rust. These stakes come highly recommended by me.
After using the black set for the past year, I recently purchased an orange set. I'll be able to use these thick, sturdy spikes for everything now. I wish I'd bought the first set in orange because it's more visible, but the black set is still ideal because I frequently go camping on rocky ground, and using the ones that come with the tents results in some seriously deformed metal. br>br>Because they're thick and long, they always get the job done; occasionally, we'll use a hammer instead of a mallet, which works fine but scratches the top coating a little. br>br>I took a photo of the tip and included it. The tip is wedge-shaped, with one side being wider than the other.
These are the stakes to use if you need to stake out a tent or canopy in strong winds. I drove these in flush with the ground with a regular hammer. The tent refused to budge. Stakes were removed with a hammer. After pulling the stakes out of the ground, I checked to make sure they weren't bent or damaged. Take note of the weight of the product. Backpackers and thru-hikers will not enjoy these.
Stakes are bound to get lost, and there are always more uses than one realizes, so a stake supply must be replenished on a regular basis. Unfortunately, just because you've discovered a favorite stake doesn't mean it'll always be available. For field work, I use stakes. deployments, hunting camps, canvas tents, improvised and planned shelters, antenna structures, and a variety of other improvised and planned structures ad hoc requirements As a result, having a well-designed, heavy-duty vehicle is advantageous. It's critical to have a duty stake that can be used for a variety of purposes. These stakes are perfect for the job. Just keep in mind to buy one set more than you think you'll need!.
These stakes aren't the lightest on the market, but because they're made of steel, they can be driven into much harder, rocky ground than aluminum stakes can. I needed a second set of ten for our camping setup, so this is my second set of ten. Using a framing or machinist hammer, these are easily driven in. However, if the ground is extremely hard, you'll need to use a pry bar to get them out. The best way to get them out is to tap them with your hammer for several minutes, side to side and front to back, to vibrate them loose inside the ground. Pulling them out by hand is sometimes possible, but using a pry bar makes the job much easier. Well worth the money!! br>br>.
Any tent or canopy should have these. I guess tent manufacturers have simply decided that everyone will buy upgraded stakes so that they can include the worst ones with their tents, even if they are high-end and expensive. br>br>Benefits: br>br> Super strong, simple to use, and great for holding guy lines. br>br>Con: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is not the place If you're backpacking, the metal ear can come loose and slide up to the head; the guy is still held in place, but it's more difficult to pull. They have to be hammered in; you can't just step on them to force them in. br>br>Works best when camping in a car.
These things take the most difficult part of setting up a tent and turn it into a disaster! They're incredible; they go in without a hitch and stay firmly in place in almost any terrain. I'll admit that removing them was a little difficult until I started hitting them back and forth to open up the hole they were in, and then they came out easily; once removed, you can see how the big point on the end of some of them cut right through rocks and roots. If you're going camping, get these! You won't be disappointed!.
