Just a note from a different point of view...

Although delta pegs are undoubtedly great (I don't have any) and I do actually have some line locks to put on one of my old tents that needs new guys, don't think for one second that either are essential!

Having said that, a lot of cheaper tents don't come with great pegs - I have invested in a load of rock pegs (£10 for 20 from Aldi) and some long plastic pegs for softer ground (about £3 for 4 from Amazon).


Yeah, I'm just sticking with rock pegs unless hurricane force winds are forecast. At that point i'm getting those Deltas shipped overnight
