U-Shaped Aluminum Tent Pegs - 31 cm Lightweight Alloy Stakes for Camping and Hiking

Lightweight U-Shaped Aluminium Tent Pegs

These U-shaped tent pegs are pressed from aluminium alloy and weigh just 0.056 kg each, so a full set adds very little to a packed rucksack. The U profile spreads ground pressure over a wider area than a plain round pin, which keeps the peg seated in soft or sandy ground and gives a broad surface for the guy line to bear against.

Dimensions and weight

Each peg is 310 mm long, 36 mm wide and 1.8 mm thick. The straight, 31 cm shank gives enough depth for standard tent guy points, while the 36 mm width keeps the peg from twisting in loose soil. The low weight of 56 g per peg makes the design suitable for hiking and backpacking kits where total pack weight matters.

Why a U section holds better than a plain pin

The flat web of the U section spreads load across the soil instead of concentrating it at a single point, so the peg resists pull-out when a guy line is tensioned. The open channel lets the peg be driven home with a mallet or the heel of a boot, and the top bend gives a clear anchor point for cord. Because the alloy is anodised, the peg will not leave rust marks on tent fabric or guy lines when it is packed away wet.

Colour and branding options

Pegs are available in gold, red, blue and silver, and further colours can be produced to match a brand palette. A customised logo can be applied to the peg, so the stakes can carry a retailer or tent manufacturer mark and be sold as part of a branded accessory set.

Packing and season

Pegs are packed in OPP bags for shipment and are offered as an all-season accessory. The OPP bag keeps the pegs together and protects the surface from rubbing during transit, and it can be combined with other accessories in a single carton when a buyer orders a mixed outdoor range.
