I did buy some like that many years ago. Fine on grass but on a CC hardstanding I had problems getting them in. Some people bang them in with a hammer and then use the drill to get them out. Personally I found it easier to just use normal rock pegs and bang them in and pull them out normally.

I have rock pegs the solid steel curly ones which don't have any plastic on the tops. I bought these many years ago but cannot find where to buy more from. I was thinking about how easy these would go into a CC hardstanding pitch. Save using
the lump hammer.0 -
Brian I use them all the time in the forest (Setthornes) and use a 2Lb hammer to bash em in, there the only way sometimes cos of the gravel type hard standings, I have friends who bash em in with a club hammer, but with the club sites your pretty well ok
with a gentler approach, but deffinately keep em in your armoury.0 -

I tried using screw pegs at Nth York Moors last week and failed miserably, so resorted to the rock pegs and lump hammer and ended up buying another 10 from the site to replace the ones I had bent. Next time I'll try using a small Kango to see if that improves
things, I think even the Hatton Garden gang would have had problems if the vault walls had been as hard as CC hard standings.0 -
We used screw in pegs a few years ago, but I never really took to them. Mind you, ours were plastic and had quite a large 'thread'. We tend to use rock pegs and a small lump hammer. Perhaps I ought to try them again and look at the steel ones. As far
as I'm concerned, the biggest pain in putting up an awning is pegging out.David
