SE Heavy-Duty Metal Tent Pegs Stake Set (10-Pack) - 9NRC10

The stakes that came with my tent were terrible and bent every time I tried to hammer them, so I needed new ones. These stakes are adequate for the price; they can be hammered straight without bending and are relatively inexpensive; however, they can be difficult to remove; they should have had a rope attached to the top for ease of removal. This modification was made using a constrictor knot on the bottom and a fisherman knot on the top, as shown in the photo. This is a time-consuming effort, and it would have been nice if it had been done at the factory.

Stakes that are quite long. For my 10'x10' canopy, I bought these. I use two per leg and have never had a problem keeping the canopy in place on the ground, even during some very exciting windy thunderstorms. br>br>One night in particular, a thunderstorm struck around 4 a. m. , and I had my tent pitched near the canopy's edge. Before sacking out, I had already lowered the canopy to its lowest point. In its lowered position, the Caddis Sport Rapid Shelter does not lock. The canopy was raised to its full height by a gust of wind, and the spring-loaded spring-loaded spring-loaded spring-loaded spring-loaded spring-loaded spring-loaded spring-loaded spring Detainees are loaded and secured in their positions. After a significant amount of rain, however, these stakes did not come out of the ground or even loosen. When I was startled awake by all the noise, I decided to record video, thinking it would be the last record of what had happened to me. To keep the canopy from being picked up by the wind, I lowered it once more. br>br>This photo depicts the carnage that occurred following the day's events. The canopy next door (on the left) was destroyed during the break. br>br>While there are many options available, these are well-built, heavy-duty, and have no flaws to date.

After our first camping trip went so smoothly, I picked up a few extras in case our subsequent trips didn't go as smoothly, including a pack of these. br>br>Little did I know, I'd be in desperate need of them on the very next camping trip. The State Park where we visited had these gravel areas with extremely hard packed ground beneath them. When we arrived, it was raining, and I was worried that we wouldn't be able to set up our tent in time to stay dry. br>br>That's when things got out of hand: as I inserted the metal tent stakes that came with my teepee tent into the ground, one by one, they bent horribly. I'm not an idiot, and I know how to properly hammer stakes into the ground, but unlike the first campground, this one was giving me fits. That's when I took these babies out. br>br> I'd just gotten them a few days before leaving, thinking to myself, "Well, maybe I won't need them, but just in case. " " They were a lifesaver, to say the least. They seemed to pound into the ground like a hot knife through butter, at least in comparison to the stakes that came with my tent. We were in our tent, dry and warm, in less than 5 minutes. br>br>When it came time to pull them out two days later, my wife thought it would be impossible. The little lip things on them, on the other hand, allowed me to grip them and pull them out without torquing or yanking them. Even if your current stakes have served you well, do yourself a favor and pick up a set of these. It's preferable to have them but not require them than to require them but not possess them.

Let's just say it didn't go as planned. We couldn't even get the stakes into the ground without bending them up and creating a ruckus. We finally got them in, but getting them out was a nightmare, and the majority of them were mangled when it was time to leave. We threw them in the trash right away. br>br>ON GRAVEL, THESE STAKES PERFORMED SO MUCH BETTER. Using a rubber mallet, we hammered them in at a 45-degree angle to the tent. They went in without a hitch and emerged perfectly straight and hassle-free. br>br>I would highly recommend these to anyone camping in gravel-over-dirt sites in state and national parks - They were absolutely fantastic.

At 10. These heavy-duty stakes are 5" long and will work well for piercing into some of the more rocky ground we encounter on our camping trips. The galvanized steel is extremely durable, and the length of these will aid in completely securing it. The heads have a thick PVC hook and hole where guide lines can be attached. Because this is where you'll be pounding them into the ground, these will always get abused, whether they're plastic or metal. Although the PVC appears to be thick and durable, it is not impervious to damage. I recommend using a rubber mallet, and if one breaks, a flat washer can be used against the head to wrap the rope underneath as a backup. I like these because they are a little thicker and longer than some of the others I have.

For the past few years, I've been camping with friends. At least twice a year, we go there. The spikes on some of our original equipment tents were flimsy and bent on rocky ground. I ordered a few new varieties to try out on this trip. These stakes are by far the best option; they're extremely sturdy, so we didn't hesitate to drive them into the ground. Our tents aren't the kind that pops up. As a result, when the tent is full or during a storm, it can exert a lot of pressure on the spikes. One or two spikes will usually emerge from the ground. These were simple to put in and stayed in place. What a stark contrast! We're going to buy a second set as a backup! These are a little heavy, so they're not ideal for backpacking. In addition, there is no carry bag. However, what a bargain! Pulling them out of the ground did not cause any breakage. Simply put, we were cautious. I wish I had purchased these earlier.
