Product Information
Full details
The Outwell Halfround U-Peg 30cm is an essential accessory for campers who frequent beach environments or areas with soft, loose ground. These steel stakes are engineered to provide maximum surface area for grip, ensuring your shelter remains stable even when traditional wire pegs fail to hold. While their U-shaped profile offers superior anchoring in sand, they are significantly heavier and bulkier than standard tent stakes, making them less ideal for lightweight backpacking trips.

FAQs
Can I use these pegs in rocky ground?
No. The wide U-profile is designed for soft ground and will struggle to penetrate rocky or hard-packed soil.
How many pegs come in a pack?
Each pack includes 10 pegs.
Are these available in other sizes?
Yes, the Outwell Halfround U-peg range also includes 18 cm and 24 cm options for different terrain needs.
Should I use a hammer to drive these in?
It is recommended to use a rubber mallet. A metal hammer may cause damage to the top of the steel peg.
What is the length of these pegs?
These specific pegs measure 300 mm (30 cm) in length.
What material are these made of?
They are constructed from durable steel with an aluminum-colored finish.
Troubleshooting
Peg will not go into the ground
The ground is likely too hard or contains rocks; relocate the peg or switch to a thinner, hardened steel rock peg.
Peg pulls out of soft sand
Ensure the peg is buried deep enough and angled at 45 degrees away from the tent; you can also bury the top of the peg and cover it with sand for extra resistance.
Signs of rust appearing
Gently scrub with a wire brush to remove oxidation and apply a thin coating of gear-safe oil or silicone spray before long-term storage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior holding power in soft ground and sand
- Durable steel construction resists deformation

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Use a rubber mallet to drive the pegs into the ground, as using heavy metal tools may damage the steel top or cause unintended deformation. Ensure the hook remains accessible for your guy lines.
- Compatibility: These pegs are best paired with family-sized tents or large gazebos that require robust anchoring. They are not intended for use in rocky terrain, where the wide profile will prevent them from fully entering the ground.
- Care: After use in sand or wet soil, wipe the pegs clean with a damp cloth to remove grit. Dry them thoroughly before storage to prevent corrosion, and store them in a durable carry bag to avoid puncturing other gear.
