Delta Ground Anchor pegs for Long Aluminium Pegs

[Dave]

I have too many of these Delta Ground Anchor tent pegs, and not enough TI/Snow pegs

I dont think you can get a more reliable peg than the delta ground anchor for high winds.
Even using just two of them with your tarp or tent will make them a lot more secure.

Want to trade a few Ti pegs, or snow pegs, for a few delta groundhog pegs?

These any good?
20cm neon, with glow-in-the-dark tops. Pretty lightweight too. Set of 6, used once.

Anyone want to trade a few Ti Pegs or snow pegs for a few Delta Ground anchor's?

Are these the plastic Deltas?

alpkit are doing their ti tikes for £17 set of 10 with free delivery.

Probably a silly question, but what type of snowpeg do you want? Kifaru for example sell snowpegs that are either 18" or 32 inches based on their extensive experience in snow/high wind conditions. https://kifaru.net/shelteraccessories.html

Last month, in the Sale they were selling 10 Ti Pins for £7.50! Unfortunately, I missed it by a day!

I'll take either AndyBB. 18" would be fine. [Its only a silly question if you have neither.] Lol

*My understanding is the shorter ones are better suited for compacted snow.

 

[Andy BB]

For compacted snow, Id have thought that the broader-type pegs (like the ex-army alu ones) would be better than the nail type (sort of equivalent of boggy ground). For the looser stuff, I think the logic is the deeper you go, the likelier it is to hold in a breeze.

And no, I don't have any of the Kifaru ones - not at that price! If I meet those conditions I'd go for some wooden branches, as long as I could find.

:twak:

still looking for a few TI Pins or Snow Pegs.

a few of these Delta's are handy to have in your kit.

Wont pull out even in the fiercest gales

You may/may not have seen these?

[Dave]

I hadnt seen them. Have you used them? Have you any to trade?

My new Y beam Alpkit XL pegs bent, just pegging out my new Tarp, yesterday, in the garden to seam seal it.....

Pulled the cord tight, and two bent!

I've half a mind to send them back.

 

[The Big Lebowski]

Not tried them, but I may invest in some for an overseas exped next year.

I would contact Alpkit, they are a great company to deal with if you are having problems. The Ti tikes are rock solid.

 

[Dave]

I have 4 ti V pegs, same as their tikes, which Ive only used a couple of times, but seem good. Was after something for hard frosty ground. The TI-Pins look ideal.

 

[The Big Lebowski]

For hard frosty ground, i would be more inclined to go with these. Thats just me though

Aye maybe...Trying to save the pennies, [and the pounds] hence the trade...

I got a trailstar from MLD a couple of days back, which arrived six weeks earlier than I expected.

I had planned to take advantage of their peg offer...

Five 9\" Easton Stakes .5oz ea for high wind and main stake points.
PLUS
Five 6.5\" .28oz ea Titanium Skewer stakes for side stake points.

for $29......

But it completely slipped my mind,

I would happily trade 4 Alpkit Ti Pins and 2 Tikes for 4 of your Deltas?

Jolly Good. PM incoming. How do you find the ti pins? Are they nice and strong?

Great,
Well I can bend them but they are much better than ally and much lighter than steel. They are also a lot more use than the Terra Nova pins which, in most conditions, is like trying to staple a guy line to the ground. The Tikes are a really good compromise between weight, strength and a solid anchor IME.
