10-Piece Galvanized Steel Tent Pegs - Garden Stakes

You know, its difficult to say that I "love" these galvanized steel tent pegs. But clicking 5 stars is tantamount to saying "I LOVE IT" so I guess I have to live with that. I have used my tent pegs to anchor my three outdoor holiday lighted dog lawn ornaments to the ground. In previous years despite using the stakes that came with these lawn dogs, they have have fallen over or had their heads knocked off during wind or snow storms. So far these dogs have stayed upright and we've had some pretty heavy winds since I put the stakes in two weeks ago. So, that is my 5 star criteria. If I find that they don't keep my lighted pups safe over time, I will amend this review. But for now, that my view. They seem sturdy.BOTTOM LINE: I have no idea how they'd do in a tent but judging by how well they do with wind and large lawn dogs (see photo to get an idea), I'd say they'd be fine.

I used these stakes to anchor some black plastic edging that came in a long roll. I used the edging around my garden. These stakes are perfect for the job and seem to hold the edging down and in place. They are much less expensive than other altenatives, most of which are much bulkier and are made out of plastic. I don't expect the the edging will lift up, as it would without the stakes to hold it down and in place.For GARDEN stakes, they are great. I suppose they'd also work for TENT stakes, but it seems to me that they would pull out of the ground fairly easily if there were any force on them (note, they are very smooth, round metal). For a tent, I'd get something heavier and with something on them to prevent them from pulling out of the ground.

Already used them once and they worked much better than my homemade ones that I made out of the old wire clothes hangers . They worked great , I just cut them all to short. These were much longer and worked much better being so much longer . My tent did not come up during the rain storm that we had but with my homemade ones , half of my tent was collapsed and my spikes came up and I lost a few.I love these tent stakes and they are just what I needed. I would recommend these to anyone and everyone that needs some.

These are decent price for the $ paid but are alittle flemsy overall. In purchasing, for the use intended, these are a "dispensible item" that we intended not to last over multiple uses with youth and tents. With that in mind, we are happy with our purchase. Just be nice if they were of a bit thicker material so they would not bend as easily when inserting into the ground and did not require frequent replacement. Will work nicely in soft clays, etc. Rocky or harder material and these bend very easily when hitting an obstruction below the surface.

Worked well for beach tent. I liked that they were long and could sink deeper in the sand to stay put. Also they are sturdy, not cheap or chintz and well made so they hold up well. I don't have a camping tent anymore but they would be excellent for that as well. Really anything you want to stay put I would recommend these.

Definitely got what i paid for with these... I always go with steel stakes because they don't chip or snap in half like the plastic ones. These ones however, are very thin gauge. I bent a couple of them in soft dirt... Their slender style makes it less likely for you to hit a small rock, but more likely to bend when you do. Pros: steel, long, cheap, light. Cons: easily bendable. Overall, does what its supposed to do when its in the ground, just pay a little extra attention to resistance when hammering them in and you wont bend them.

Great deal

They work just fine for their intended purpose. After reading some negative reviews I have to say yes they are cheap. They are light. They may bend easy in hard soil, but they work if used properly. If you want something more sturdy go buy another product. If you want something inexpensive that works and just heavy enough without unnecessary weight or expense these are great. They have been on many backpacking trips and they held up tents, tarps and whatever else needs to be staked. These are actually heavier gauge than the stakes that are supplied with some tents.
