Product Information
Full details
The Outwell Halfround U-Peg 18cm is designed for campers who frequently set up tents or shelters in challenging, loose terrain such as sand or soft soil. These sturdy metal anchors provide a reliable hold where standard thin stakes often slip or pull out, though their specialized U-profile design makes them less suited for extremely hard or rocky ground.

FAQs
Can I use these on gravel or rocky campsites?
These are not recommended for rocky ground, as the U-profile can bend or deform when striking stones.
Are these pegs compatible with all Outwell tents?
Yes, they are universal tent anchors compatible with any tent system that utilizes standard peg loops or guy lines.
What is the total weight of the set?
The set of 10 pegs weighs approximately 272 grams.
Are longer versions available?
Yes, Outwell offers the same Halfround design in 24cm and 30cm lengths for even greater holding power.
Should I sharpen the ends if they get dull?
The ends are designed for optimal penetration out of the box; sharpening is typically unnecessary and can weaken the metal structure.
Troubleshooting
Peg keeps pulling out of the ground
Increase the insertion angle to 45 degrees or bury the entire peg deeper if the ground is very loose.
Peg is hard to drive into the ground
The ground may be too hard or contain rocks; try moving the peg slightly or using a standard steel nail peg for that specific point.
Surface rust appearing on pegs
Clean thoroughly with a wire brush or abrasive pad and apply a light coating of machine oil before storage.
Pros and Cons

- Sturdy stainless steel construction prevents deformation

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To insert these pegs effectively, use a rubber mallet to prevent marring the metal surface. Avoid using a metal hammer, as it can deform the edge of the U-profile over time. After use, clear any stuck dirt or sand from the U-channel before storing. While they are made of durable stainless steel, wiping them down with a damp cloth after a trip to the beach will prevent salt-induced corrosion. Store them in a dry place to ensure they remain in peak condition for your next excursion.
