I know this is prolly a really girl thing to ask, but, do I need specific tent pegs for winter to hold down my tent in high winds?

Just upgraded to bigger tent

Thanks

Sorry, but I must agree.... I love the (plastic) Delta's.

Only limitation would be if the ground is frozen.

Though there are metal Deltas, Im not sure if they are designed for such conditions.

Best to have a choice of different pegs for different conditions. I am a bit of a rock peg fan too but do keep a few other styles in the bag, I also like those thicker yellow plastic ones.

Never bought Delta's but they do seem popular so I imagine I will get around to buying some at some point.

Hi Finnboy, the stainless steel channel section Deltas are fine for frozen ground. One of our customers has had the same set since we started selling them in 2001 and they show no signs of packing up soon. Is that good value for money?
The Delta Rocks will last forever and as rock pegs are so brilliant, will go into anything.

But of course, the whole configuration makes them much more effective than anything else on the market.
