FAQs
How many pegs do I need?
The number of pegs required depends on the size of your groundsheet. As a general guide, use one peg per loop or fixing point on the groundsheet. The pack contains 5 pegs.
Can I use these pegs on all types of ground?
These pegs are designed for use on soft to medium ground. They may not be suitable for very hard or rocky ground.
What is the best way to remove the pegs?
Use a peg extractor tool or simply pull the peg straight up from the ground. Avoid twisting the pegs, which may damage the groundsheet.
Are these pegs reusable?
Yes, these pegs are reusable. Clean them after each use and store them in a dry place.
What material are the pegs made of?
The product description does not specify the material.
What is the purpose of the flattened top?
The flattened top prevents the peg from tearing the groundsheet when stepped on.
Troubleshooting
Pegs are difficult to insert into the ground.
Try using a rubber mallet or similar tool to gently tap the pegs into the ground. If the ground is too hard, consider choosing a different anchoring method.
Pegs are bending or breaking.
Avoid using excessive force. If the ground is too hard, find a softer area, or use a more robust peg designed for harder ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Position the groundsheet where you want your tent. Align the groundsheet's loops or fixing points with the ground.
- Insert the peg through the loop or fixing point, angling it slightly into the ground.
- Ensure the flattened top is flush with the groundsheet to prevent tripping hazards.
- Compatibility: These pegs are designed for use with Vango groundsheets but can be used with other compatible groundsheets. Ensure the loops or fixing points are suitable for the peg size.
