FAQs
What type of ground are these rock pegs best for?
These pegs are specifically designed for rocky, hard-packed earth, gravel, and compacted surfaces where standard pegs struggle to hold.
How many pegs are included in this pack?
This pack contains 20 heavy-duty rock pegs.
Are the yellow handles purely for aesthetics?
No, the bright yellow handles are designed for high visibility, making the pegs easier to spot on the ground, reducing trip hazards, and aiding in retrieval.
Can I use these pegs on soft ground like sand?
While they can be used, their specialized threaded design provides maximum benefit on harder surfaces. They may not offer superior holding power on very soft or sandy ground compared to wider, flatter pegs.
What is the material of the pegs?
The pegs are made from sturdy, durable metal.
What are the dimensions of each peg?
Each peg measures 7mm in diameter and 200mm in length.
How should I maintain these pegs to prevent damage?
Clean off dirt after use and ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent rust. Store them in a dry place.
Troubleshooting
Pegs are difficult to drive into the ground.
Ensure you are using a rubber mallet or hammer. If encountering extreme resistance, check for unseen rocks or obstructions. Try a slightly different angle or a pre-drilled starter hole if feasible, though the threaded design should overcome most resistance.
Pegs are bending during insertion.
This usually indicates an exceptionally hard or obstructed surface. Try a different spot or a slightly softer angle. Ensure you are driving the peg straight down. If bending persists, the ground may be too hard for even these heavy-duty pegs.
Pegs are difficult to remove.
Grip the peg firmly with pliers or by hand if possible. Try wiggling it gently from side to side while pulling upwards. If firmly lodged, carefully lever against the peg base with a tool if necessary, being mindful not to damage the ground excessively.
Pegs show signs of rust.
Metal pegs can develop surface rust over time, especially if stored damp. This is typically cosmetic and does not affect performance. Ensure pegs are dried thoroughly after each use. Light surface rust can often be removed with a wire brush.
