  Product Description
The Blue Diamond Heavy Duty Marquee Peg is a 34cm steel ground anchor built for securing large outdoor structures. Made from heavy-duty steel with a smooth shaft design, this peg handles the toughest pitching jobs where standard pegs fail. The integrated ridges running down the length provide exceptional grip once driven into the ground, making it ideal for marquees, party tents, gazebos, caravan awnings and large promotional flags.

Steel pegs like this 34cm Blue Diamond model offer superior strength for large structures and harder ground conditions. The 340mm length provides deep anchoring that won't budge in wind, whilst the ridged shaft design prevents rotation once inserted. Steel construction means these pegs won't snap or deform when driven through firm soil, gravel or stony ground where plastic pegs would fail.

Many caravanners and campers use these as upgraded corner pegs for their main guy lines, giving extra security at critical anchor points. The smooth shaft design allows for easier insertion than chunky alternatives, whilst the ridges engage once depth is reached to lock the peg firmly in position. These pegs work well across grass, soil, and moderately hard surfaces, making them a reliable choice for seasonal tent displays or holiday pitches where you need confidence your setup will stay put through rain and wind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length tent peg do I need for a caravan awning?
A 34cm marquee peg provides the right depth for securing caravan awnings and larger tents. This length gives sufficient ground penetration to resist wind load on larger structures, whilst shorter pegs under 20cm are only suitable for lightweight camping tents. The 340mm length works across most ground types including grass, soil and firmer surfaces.
Are steel tent pegs better than plastic pegs?
Steel pegs outperform plastic when securing large structures or pitching in firm ground. Plastic pegs work well in soft soil and sand but snap when hitting stones or driven into harder surfaces. Steel marquee pegs handle rocky ground, won't bend under mallet strikes, and provide the strength needed for gazebos, marquees and awnings where failure means structural collapse.
How do ridges on tent pegs improve grip?
Ridges running down the peg shaft create friction points that engage with soil particles once the peg reaches depth. This prevents the peg rotating or working loose under tension from guy ropes. Smooth pegs without ridges spin more easily, reducing holding power. The Blue Diamond design combines a smooth shaft for easier driving with strategic ridges for secure anchoring.
Can marquee pegs be used for securing gazebo frames?
Marquee pegs are specifically designed for large temporary structures including pop-up gazebos, party tents and market stalls. A 34cm steel peg provides the anchoring strength needed at gazebo corner points and midpoint tie-downs. Standard wire pegs supplied with budget gazebos often bend in wind, making heavy-duty steel replacements a worthwhile upgrade for events and outdoor trading.
What angle should tent pegs be hammered into the ground?
Tent pegs should be driven at 45 degrees angled away from the tent or structure. This angle maximises holding power by creating resistance against the pull direction. Pegs hammered vertically pull out more easily under tension. Position the peg so the guy rope attachment sits near ground level once fully inserted, then strike firmly with a mallet until only the head remains visible.
