Coghlan's Tent Pegs

While these ABS plastic pegs are durable, they are best suited for softer soil or sand. If you are camping on rocky terrain, metal stakes are generally a better choice to prevent the plastic from bending or snapping during insertion.

Each pack contains six 12-inch tent pegs, which is typically enough to secure the main guy lines or corners of a standard-sized tent.

ABS plastic is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making these pegs an excellent option for humid environments or sandy soil where metal might rust. They also tend to be easier to handle and pack without adding significant weight to your gear.

At 12 inches long, these pegs provide significant holding power compared to standard 6-inch stakes. They are well-suited for larger tents or shelters that require deeper anchoring to withstand wind.

Yes, the 12-inch length provides good surface area for grip in loose soil or sand. However, for extremely loose beach sand, you may still need to angle them deeply or use a deadman anchor technique for extra stability.
