Max Pegs™

Disadvantages of traditional ‘L’ tent pegs

• In hammering the pegs, you are basically hitting the spring section of the peg. The hammer hops on the peg, so not every strike counts.

• Vibration hurts the hand holding the peg at the end of the “L” portion.

• When the ground is solid the pegs are likely to bend as they are only 5mm spring steel.

• Limited vertical spring action of these pegs supposedly holding your ropes tight.

• The mechanical reaction to the spring action of the “L” peg causes the anchor portion to work itself out of the ground after a day or two in windy conditions.

• “L” Pegs are temporary spot anchors and offer no counteraction from the other “L” Pegs around your tent. This causes the guide ropes to unhook, causing a total collapse of the structure.

• When a slack guy rope suddenly receives a tug of wind, the snap action can cause the tent to tear.

How Max Pegs™ solve the problem

• Our anchor pegs use 8mm hardened steel and come in three lengths: 250mm, 350mm, and 450mm. They perform equally well in solid or soft ground.

• The peg head lets you strike almost directly on the shaft. Each blow drives the peg deeper without “hammer bounce.

• We designed the head hook as a closed-loop system. Once you hook on the spring, neither rope nor spring can unfasten in windy conditions.

• This peg-and-spring combination solves all anchoring challenges. The spring action holds the peg firmly in the ground, giving you a secure fixture that assembles quickly.

• When guide ropes pull on the springs, they spread tension evenly across seams and poles. Since every spring has the same strength, the load remains balanced.

• Since each spring works against another to get back to its original form, it holds the tent firmly in place.

• A strong wind comes from one side of the tent. The springs on the “wind side” will contract, and the springs on the opposing side will release immediately and hold the tent firmly in place. If the wind suddenly changes direction, the springs react immediately and their whole action changes to the side the wind is coming from.

• The ropes cannot be detached and the springs cannot unhook from the pegs. This is basically an “inverted suspension” system for your tent.

• The spring action on every peg prevents any “snap” action experienced with normal tent pegs that would tear the tent and bend the tent poles.

• Tension springs usually lose memory and need regular replacement. We use high-quality compression springs. This spring does not lose memory.
