Any Quest Screen house owners out there?

Good Morning Funsterfans.
Quick question if you own the above screenhouse, or anything similar.
How do you peg down the corners and sides when using such a thing on a hard standing?
The eyelets are big round things, very wide, and a standard rock peg is not really wide enough, plus all my rockpegs I have used are all now very bent, as they are about 9” from point to top hook, and require hammering in a long way down to try and make the top hook hold the big round eyrlets.
The 3 side adjustable tensioners are not so much of an issue, but its been a bit windy on site the last few days, and all the anchoring points have needed to be deployed (7 internal and then the 3 external).
I am thinking about getting some heavy duty hoop-shaped pegs made of a shorter length to go through the internal eyelets one side and other side will the bridge over the eyelet for each of the internal Fixing points.
On grass, I have no problems pegging as the very tough grass pegs supplied by quest are more than adequate, but just willnot do an a hard standing.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Just be aware of the bottom corners rubbing on any gravel or hard surface. I helped someone the other day who had been using on gravel pitches and the wind movement had caused the bottom pockets that hold the rods to wear out.

I use tarp clips (sorry dont know the real name) and peg through the clip rather than the eyelet.

Thanks Tonka.
A very good point and one I had not thought of.
To be honest I just booked a hard standing pitch without thinking, but prefer grass as if using a club site you seem to have very strict dimensions of pitch size on Hard standing, but seem to have more leaway on grass pitches and better orientation.
