    Have you seen the price of these if you buy 4 or more £11.04 each. 10 pegs will cost £110.40. So god knows how much for the pegs for a full awning. I would expect a free drill as well as the bit

    Agree, we use HS mainly, but its never that difficult once I have sussed out how compacted the base is. And the pegs always come out a lot easier than they went in.

    Choose the pack size in the drop down menu.  Your getting confused with the pack quantity.

    Ah right I didn’t do it as if I was buying just looked at prices in the squares. Not a bad buy then

    Have found them to be very good, can be screwed in or if the ground is really hard they can be started with a hammer. They always come out without any effort with the cordless.

    Alongside a couple of boxes of the screw pegs described above, we have another, home made, adaption of thinner timber screws. We bought a box of 150mm long ones with flanged heads, then added a nylon roof washer to each one. I recall 100 costing under £15. Their benefit is the flat profile of the head, when used around the mud wall and carpet. They need a smaller nut spinner than the bigger commercial pegs, which we still use for ladder straps and corners. Being thinner, they drive in more easily too.

    No, we used an ordinary claw hammer an it was hard work on occasions.

    If you have a ground sheet that is sewn onto the outer ( or maybe if you have an loose ground sheet ) , it is worth having a heavier under sheet to stop the handstand punching holes into the top sheet.

    its not so much walking on the top sheet but sharp edges , or point loads, from tables, chairs etc.

    Having a dirty sheet ( mark the bottom ""Down / Dirty ) to show which it was down last time, has all sorts of uses, and can be bundled up as the last item to be first out next time.  I keep it in a dustbin liner, and air it if need be when we get home.

    You will need rock pegs and I favour a steel shafted claw hammer to drive them in and to lever out.

    I have never had much success with screw-in pegs and usually resort to plain rock pegs and a 2lb Birmingham spanner. To remove I use a 50 year old Mole grip, give the pegs a twist and out they come. Failing that, a trick learned from a fellow caravanner in Florence is to soak the pegs with a watering can and leave for five minutes (after lifting the skirt out of the way.)

    Pegs usually respond to a tap side side to side with a 2 or 4lb knocking stick to allow them to be pulled out.
