Weve used em, they are great, but are a bu&&er to get out. I haven't read all of this thread, so don't know if anyone has said it.

hi guys,

seems like i`m the only one to have had problems with the deltas, used them a couple of weeks ago in Hawes, blew a reet good gale through the night but i was confident, i had my delta pegs in, in the morning found 4 had pulled out, the ground was quite soft but i had fitted them properly i am not stupid, and it did blow hard, but they came out!, any one else had this problem? thanks Shep.

Hi Shep, I am sorry and suprised to hear about your pegs. On which guys did the pegs come out?

Are we talking about the same 'Delta' pegs here?  I have just remembered that Teloz pointed out the difference between two 'Delta pegs'.

We have legal protection over our name and design

I have looked on our data base and have not found a purchase from Widnes.

Maybe it's something we've overlooked Shep, but I hope you get back to us soon.

hi rob,

     i dont think theres a problem with someone taking your design as i ve moved to st helens now and i purchased your pegs while living there, the pegs that came out were the side guys along the side of the tent into the wind, as i said the ground was soft and it was a very strong wind never mind i just use different pegs now, thanks for your concern shep.

Hi shep,

Fortunately, and quite rightly, the law does think there is a problem when somebody else's design is taken, especially considering the time, money and effort put into that design.

However, I think we were talking 'same name' not 'same design'.

I'm still stunned to think all four pegs came out. The hoops on the Lokon Vario 5 look as if they would need to move about a foot for the pegs to come completely out.

Anyway, glad to hear you've solved your problem.

 

Rob,

i did not means theres no problem taking your design, you are right that should not be allowed what i meant was theres no problem, i don`t think anyone has copied your design, i think you misunderstood what i was trying to say, anyway lets hope theres no harm done, as an engineer i think your principle is great, i just think maybe the ground was too soft, keep up the good work, shep.

Cheers, Shep. I hope you can understand why I get a little protective.
