For anyone who hasnt got the message about Delta pegs.....
Polycotton tent,
No sig,
Tarp over the front of the tent as a canopy
Much wind.
A huge guest of unexpected wind took down our tarp that was being used as a canopy that did NOT have Deltas.
The fibreglass poles bent further than I thought they could without breaking and we thought the tent was going to take off !
But the tent was not without Deltas and she stood strong.
So if you think Deltas are a little expensive or not necessary think again... they really are the mutts nutts,
Angie
Thanks Angie, talking about poles bending, here's a photo that a gentleman sent me a little earlier in the year. Looked a bit blowy . He did say that he would have lost the tent if it wasn't for Delta pegs.

Hi Rob Did you get email about Deltas and rock pegs?
Yes, thank you. Sorry I haven't replied but I have been both busy and unwell. I will certainly be looking deeper into this project.

Hi Angie,it was man flu actually but only a mild form.
I got away with three blood transfusions and a steam clean.

As soon as I put up my Khyam at Lands End, I knew I'd made the right decision. They really have no business supplying piddly little pegs with large tents.
It was the poles that failed - not a single guy gave way - or even needed much adjusting for that matter.

Hope you dried between all your bits after the steam clean lol
Lucky really considering that the tent is a cheapie Obelink polycotton thing and their stuff has, apparently, questionable quality but we were pleasently surprised and more than happy with our cheapo second hand tunnel :)
Hubby refuses to camp under poly now and we got a few poly tents including a brand new weathermaster ... MEN !
Sam,hope you managed to salvage your tent! even with the cover the vehicles gave (if any) that's one hell of a knock down.
in all honesty,--------- how can people hope to have peace of mind even when they purchase what is thought to be a respected make and that happens? perhaps your pic should be sent to KHYAM!
again "Delta's" show there worth,a product that I and many more endose to the full.
Sorry to hi-jack the thread a little,Sam have you returned or contacted khyam over the pole failure.Step son had same problem with his tent,got full refund and wont be buying one of these again.No good being able to put up quickly if it comes down as quickly due to poor poles.
We've just got back from Flamborough. The Monty 6 was pitched in what ended up being about an inch of water with Delta's on all guys and the blue Outwell pegs on the ground sheet. We suffered severe wind and rain but the tent was solid and stayed put. When it came to taking the tent down the Outwell pegs came out of the saturated ground REALLY easy, but the Delta's were still firmly in there. Good gear!
