    That is correct as tanalizing is a treatment but not a fire proofing. I wouldn’t dream of trying to burn it.

    But as we are posting about keeping fire breaks on sites the picture show. is possibly the site staff accommodation which is with the tanalised wood fencing far more fire safe than it seems what has happened on camp sites as I have not heard of one fire in any club site staff outfitswink

    "Please line van up with its offside rear corner to the peg."

    Don't tell anyone but if I miss by 12" or so I usually get out of the car and move the peg to the offside corner.

    No complaints from the the warden then!laughing

    Amazing wood fencing, it makes caravans non inflammable!

    So, the sacred peg?

    what happens on an affiliate site that doesn’t use pegs?

    Do CC members carry their own pegs to use on the rented CC pitches?

    You can only use your own peg if it is tanalized

    What happens on other sites and how they space out their units is really up to the site's owners and what they, and I assume their insurers, think is best to stop the spread of fire.

    The club has decided to follow various fire services or local authority advice/guidance/legal requirements of 6m and 3m and uses a peg to ensure it is adhered to. That is the simple reason for the pegs, nothing more 

    Poster can and do question these 'rules' and/or how outdated they are but at the end of the day it is what the club uses so if you want to stop on a club you have to put up with a peg. Personally I don't think on site many people care?

    If one finds the peg system too rigorous or onerous then there are plenty of other sites out there, but probably many/some of them will have the same spacing but done by a different system than a peg. I don't know but some might let you pitch as close as one wishes? 

    Perhaps other can post about what they have found?

    Maybe you are? but then I must have been really carefull in my 52years of LV ownership as so far I have not had any fires either , or have seen one only the evidence of what damage can. be done to other LVs  even at the fire break distances used by this clubsurprised

    Did you actually read what I posted?

    it appears not in your eulogy to the blessed Peg.

    So once again, on affiliate sites not owned by the CC, do you have to bring your own peg to pitch on a pitch booked via the CC.

    Well obviously I do care or I wouldn’t have posted! I understand the thinking behind the pitching rules, we aren’t complete novices!  Not sure my car being on the periphery of my pitch is going to act as a fire break 🤔 Also until we arrived on site we didn’t know what the pitching arrangements were, how would we? I am going to raise this at some point and find out the thinking behind it, like I say this was a first  on a CAMC site for us.

    I think now, many sites that are tight on spacing  you will find there is add markers that  cannot? be moved even if some one decides to move the coloured pegssmile

    The car has been removed from pitching guide for Hawes, but is shown to the left of caravan on other club sites, so no clue that the peg is in the corner of the pitch

    Re the peg issue that no one wants to answer.

    having recently used an affiliate site, upon asking as to parking to the missing peg, the chap showing my my pitch burst out laughing and said…

    ‘You’re here to enjoy yourself, pitch anyway you like’

    And I’d say @ 50% of the caravans were pitched across the pitches… it seemed the popular choice.

    And no caravans were consumed in a fiery apocalypse.

    To be fair I was replying to HTM about how other sites use, or do not pegs, and not to your OP.

    Not sure my car being on the periphery of my pitch is going to act as a fire break well in either case (car, caravan, awning or caravan, awning, car) your car will be at the periphery of your pitch and the 3m spacing is the fire break?

    I don't quite understand what you are so concerned about? It maybe that your preferences cannot be accommodated on this site.

    Let us know hat you find out.

    So what peg issue that no one wants to answer?

    The club uses pegs, other sites don't, choose whatever method you like by choosing the site?

    But Shirley if I book through the CC website to a peg free site, I should park to a peg, after all, I might trigger a fiery conflagration!

    Lining up to the peg within 6 inches can't be that important if the new 8ft vans can park on any pitch.

    Firstly don't call me Shirleysmile

    You cannot book a 'peg free site' from the club's booking system. And if by a peg free site you mean an AS they can only be booked through direct contact with the site. They are not club owned or managed and can do what they want regarding pegs or anything. Their risk not the club's.

    Ah, so it’s only on CC owned sites caravans turn into mini Hiroshimas if parked closer than 6m!
