Hi there,
Usually only the first 4 - 5 Inches of the ground is hard, so putting in pegs isn't too difficult.
Use a Cordless Drill & a Masonery Drill first.
A good Lump Hammer, job done.
Tar Trekka.
Any day above the ground is a great day

Re: Only The First 4 - 5 Inches Is Hard
Really???
I find invariably that all the pegs go in easily till I get to Mr Murphy's aka the last peg where 80mm under the ground there is a disused concrete slab left after some earlier demolition....

Re: Only The First 4 - 5 Inches Is Hard
I've been using 200mm decking screws and a cordless drill. Soooooo easy to get them in and just as easy to get them out. They grip really well in 90% of the camp sites we've landed in. Only softish sand makes me drag out the old tent pegs.
Cheers, Gerry

I use all my old long screwdrivers as pegs.
They go in easy, come out easy and are harder to loose.
