Tuningdrew Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Having bent a good proportion of my rock pegs pegging out the awning on a hard standing once again I really need to invest in a quality item. Does anyone have any preference? Are screw in pegs any good? TIA TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texterted Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Only if you drill a hole first. Get a decent drill bit then use any cheap rock pegs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Medes Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Be careful with screw in pegs, there was a thread on here a little while ago saying that a chap who was using these pegs caught his finger in the ladder and severed his finger, so be careful 1 Quote Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumdrop Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) I have always used Blue Diamond rock pegs, they do need sharpening and straightening, but they cope with everything I have thrown at them so far. A very reasonable price for 20 pegs at a tenner a box. I also carry a few of the extra long green topped rock pegs that most sites sell, I use these for guys or double pegging in the worst weathers.

lesbunny Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 No idea what mine are called, they have a black pvc hook on them & are available to buy singularly in my local dealers. Hammered in with a lump hammer ( gave up on useless mallets ) they have never let me down so far regardless of how stoney the ground.

David P Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I have an older version of THESE. They have yellow plastic heads and do not glow. The rippled effect goes up the shaft more? I put them in with a lump hammer and take them out with a homemade peg pull which is like a ‘gaffe’ or with a claw hammer. Only ever bent one, trying to get it out of a tree root I had nailed through! Quote Swift Elegance 480, towed by a Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian X series 6.

sulyka Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Screwfix coach bolts. Lump hammer to get them in and claw hammer to get them out. Works every time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
