hi guys i have 24 delta pegs for my vermont xl and extension
i have used these in very hi winds and guess what they stay put
however they are a complete mare to remove from the ground even with a tent peg puller
PS.I AM NOT A DELTA PEG RETAILER
Hi Chris, I can imagine that there may be times when Delta pegs could become wedged in between stones. Also, sharp or flat stones could act like the barbs on a fishing hook making their retrieval difficult.
In good soil, extraction should be simple. As Brainhertz says, you must pull back on the peg at the angle it went in.

How can you tell if Delta pegs are genuine ? What is the imprint Rob refers to ?
It would be difficult Sheryl. I have one in front of me that was made in China (with permission) for a manufacturer of a golf training aid called 'Glideball'.
It's very easy these days to copy an existing piece and produce a mould. This pseudo-Delta has a very smooth surface though, whereas ours has a finely pitted surface due to the mould being made by 'spark erosion'. The font is also slightly different in the wording and there are tiny amounts of 'skin' around the ejection points. All in all though, a very good replica. Ours will have our website, registered design and a small diagram.
There should only be one mould in this country though.

I'm interested in getting some deltas but don't know how many I'd need?
We've got Vango Aspen 700dlx, we've not put it up yet so no idea how many guys -can anyone help?
Hi Helen, I'm not completely sure but looking at photos I would imagine around 16.

I bought some delta pegs for when we put our new tent up for the first time - the ground was soft and I used them to peg everything down. That first night, it blew - (30 mph it was forecast) and nothing moved. After that I know I wouldn't choose to use anything else, in fact I'm going to order some more and use one to add some clout to the useless tether I bought for my GSD!
Out of curiosity I pegged a spare rope in with one of the pegs we got with the tent, I only needed to tug on it gently and the thing came straight out! If we'd used those, I don't think the tent would have been there in the morning!
There's been a lot of talk about these Delta's but surely it's got to the proof of the pudding ...
I also bought some last week as used a couple this weekend, no bad weather to test them but they sure held steady under normal conditions, I normaly find with other pegs I have to adjust them and check them every so often, these just stayed where the were and never needed adjusting, my normal pegs did as the ground was soft, delta's for my guy's from now on for sure.
I will also say i used them for the first time in Anglesey at the weekend. It was very windy on the hill we were on and the canopy didn't budge an inch. We only had 8 and used a couple on the tent, the rest were needed on the canopy. Were we only had the metal pegs, the guys constantly needed adjusting! Well done Rob they are brill
