The award winning
German made Peggy Pegs are a range of tent pegs that screw into
the ground
using a
cordless drill or by hand rather than hammering
in the usual way. Made from
UV reinforced
fibreglass or aluminium, they come in various sizes and in kits depending on
your needs.
They are suitable
for all ground types from soft sand through to hard packed or rocky
ground and are typically five times lighter than a conventional metal peg
and with
around
ten times the grip. The pegs are
slightly flexible with good torque resistance. They will twist through
approximately forty-five degrees before breaking. When you feel the peg twisting,
you know that it's securely anchored in place.
Pete and Di Browne
of Lock Down Fixings live in
Sydney and are the importers and distributers of Peggy Pegs.
They are keen camper trailer owners and after one windy night looked at
a better way to anchor the awning. Following enquiries from friends,
relatives and fellow campers, Pete and Di approached the manufacturer to
supply the Peggy Peg range in Australia and New Zealand.
There is also a
range of accessories available including awning ground plates and tarp clamps.
