Product Information
Full details
The Blue Diamond Eco Plastic Pegs are ideal for campers, festival-goers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable anchoring solution for soft ground conditions. These heavy-duty pegs offer superior stability due to their specialized cross-section shaft design, making them a dependable choice for securing tents, gazebos, or groundsheets. While they provide excellent grip in soil, users should note that they are not suitable for rocky or extremely hardened ground, where plastic may be prone to snapping if forced.

FAQs
Can I use a metal mallet to drive these in?
It is not recommended. Use a rubber mallet or your boot to drive them in to prevent damaging the top of the peg.
Are these suitable for winter camping?
They are designed for soft ground. They may become brittle in extreme sub-zero temperatures and are not suitable for frozen earth.
What is the best way to clean them?
Simply wash them with warm soapy water and a brush to remove soil, then allow them to air dry before storage.
Will these rust if left in wet ground?
No, being made of plastic, they are completely corrosion-proof and will not rust regardless of moisture levels.
Are they reusable?
Yes, they are designed for long-term repeated use, provided they are not forced into surfaces that exceed their structural limits.
Troubleshooting
The peg will not penetrate the ground
You have likely encountered a rock or compacted earth; reposition the peg a few inches to the side.
Peg is difficult to pull out
Use a peg puller or a spare peg hooked through the eyelet to lever it out vertically to avoid snapping the plastic.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Lightweight construction is perfect for backpackers
- Cross-section design provides superior grip compared to round pegs

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Blue Diamond pegs, follow these guidelines:
- Installation: Always push the peg into the ground at a 45-degree angle, pointing away from the item being secured to maximize tension resistance.
- Removal: To remove, pull the peg out by its hook. Do not twist the peg excessively, as this can fatigue the plastic structure.
- Compatibility: Ideal for securing standard tent guy lines, windbreaks, and heavy-duty groundsheets.
- Care: After use, wipe away excess mud or grit using a soft brush or damp cloth. Store them in a dry, shaded place; while they are durable, long-term exposure to intense UV rays can eventually make any plastic material brittle over several seasons.
