Max Storm 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.

• Hammer blows send harsh vibrations through the “L” portion, causing hand pain or injury.

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

• The limited vertical spring action fails to keep 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. These temporary anchors require periodic inspection to maintain a secure hold.

• “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.

• A sudden tug of wind snaps a slack rope and rips the tent.

How Max Pegs™ solve the problem

• Forged from 8mm hardened steel, these anchor pegs come in 250mm, 350mm, and 450mm lengths to master any ground condition.

• The peg head aligns every strike directly with the shaft, eliminating “hammer bounce” and ensuring every blow drives the peg deeper.

• Our closed-loop system secures your spring and rope so they won’t shake loose during a storm.

• With this peg and spring, we have addressed all anchor issues. The spring action cannot work the anchor out of the ground. You now have a solid fixture that works and is easy to assemble.

• When the springs get pulled up with your guide ropes, the tension on your seams and poles is proportionally spread as all the springs have the same strength.

• You can only pull a spring half of its length with your hand strength which leaves enough spring action should the wind come up. Compression springs’ push and pull strength increase as it is pressured.

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

• If 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.
