Troubleshooting
Pegs are difficult to insert into the ground.
Ensure you are using a hammer or mallet. Try moistening the ground with water to soften it. If the ground is too hard, consider using different pegs designed for harder surfaces.
Pegs are not holding the tent securely.
Make sure pegs are inserted at the correct angle. Check if the ground is too soft or sandy and consider using longer pegs or pegs designed for specific ground types. Check that the guy lines are properly tensioned.
Peg extractor is not working effectively.
Ensure the extractor is properly aligned with the peg head. If the peg is deeply embedded, try wiggling the extractor while pulling. If necessary, use pliers to assist in the removal.
