Mallet for plastic gazebo pegs (1 Viewer)

[Fontie]

Got a Quest Screen house 4 which has plastic pegs, what would you recommend to bash them into the ground. Or get rid of the plastic pegs and get what ?

 

[Madcaravanner]

Rubber mallet will work fine

 

[pappajohn]

Get some steel pegs.
Plastic don't go into stoney ground too well.
Rock pegs are best as all ground types are covered.

Rock pegs and a claw hammer. to get them back out easier.

 

[Landy Andy]

On a camp site in Nice,many years ago, the ground was so hard, the site gave us 6" nails to use

So I always took a few on future camping trips

Been through the lot over the years and those Kampa rock pegs are brilliant, you can buy cheaper ones individually from many camper shops. Best to put them in is a lump hammer which is essential for XL pegs for storm straps.

we use a variety of most of above rock pegs, but the weakest part is the plastic hook bit on top, I put in with a lump hammer and remover with either puller or claw hammer, which might be why I break so many of the tops

We do have some with much more heavy duty plastic tops was trying to find them for you but failed, but have found these

so thanks for the thread, I now can replace my broken tops in the absence of finding the chunky topped ones

I have use a Thor nylon faced hammer for years, great for plastic or metal. With regard to pegs It’s now spring so ALDI will be selling their metal hard ground ones soon no doubt, great pegs and very cheap they are what I use for our Quest Screen House.
