Product Information

Full details

The Vango Alloy Pin Pegs (18cm) are designed for campers and hikers seeking strong yet lightweight ground anchoring solutions. Their primary benefit is providing reliable hold in various ground conditions without adding significant weight to your gear. A potential consideration is their specific 18cm length, which may be less suitable for extremely loose or sandy terrain where longer pegs are preferred. These pegs are crafted from durable alloy, ensuring they can penetrate most ground types effectively, making them a versatile choice for securing tents and awnings.

FAQs

What material are these pegs made from?

They are made from durable alloy, offering strength without excessive weight.

How many pegs are in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 Vango Alloy Pin Pegs.

What is the length of these pegs?

The pegs are 18cm in length.

Are these suitable for all ground types?

They are versatile and penetrate most ground conditions well, but may be less ideal for very soft sand or extremely rocky terrain compared to specialized pegs.

How should I clean and store the pegs?

Clean off dirt with a brush or damp cloth and ensure they are dry before storing to prevent damage or corrosion. Store in a protective bag.

Can I use these with any tent or awning?

Yes, they are compatible with most tents, awnings, and tarps that use standard guyline loops.

Are they heavy?

No, their primary advantage is being lightweight while still providing good strength.

Troubleshooting

Pegs bending during insertion

Ensure you are inserting the peg at an angle, not straight down. Use a mallet or hammer with controlled force. If the ground is extremely hard or rocky, try a different location or a more robust peg type.

Pegs not holding securely in soft ground

For very soft or sandy conditions, longer pegs or pegs with a wider profile might be necessary. Consider using two pegs crossed or in a V-shape for increased holding power, or supplement with larger stakes.

Difficulty removing pegs

Use the loop at the top of the peg to lever it out gently with a mallet or a multi-tool. Avoid excessive force that could bend the peg. If stuck, try wiggling the peg slightly before pulling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and easy to carry.
  • Durable and resistant to bending.
  • Versatile for use in various ground types.
  • Pack of 10 provides good value.
  • Simple and effective design.

Cons

  • 18cm length may not be sufficient for very soft or sandy ground.
  • Can be harder to hammer into very hard, rocky ground compared to thicker pegs.
  • Alloy can potentially be scratched or marred with heavy use.
  • Requires a mallet or hammer for insertion, not hand-pushable in firm ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Insert the Vango Alloy Pin Pegs into the ground at an angle, ensuring the pin end is securely in the soil. Use a rubber mallet or hammer for best results, especially in firmer ground. Attach guylines or tent loops to the top of the pin.

Compatibility: These pegs are compatible with most tents, awnings, and tarps that utilize standard guyline loops or eyelets. They are suitable for use with Vango products and other camping shelters.

Care: After use, clean the pegs by removing any soil with a brush or damp cloth. Store them in the provided bag or a separate compartment to prevent scratching other gear. Inspect for any significant bends or damage before storing them for extended periods. Ensure they are completely dry before packing away to prevent corrosion.
