If you’ve room, use your vehicle to shield the car from the wind. Windbreaks may also help (although we struggled to even get ours set up due to the wind this time) if they’re in securely – add guys if possible for extra stability. Pitch the tent in a sheltered place but not in line for flying items like breaking trees or branches. 10. Take a storm kit with you, just in case
As the storm straps are approximately 1m to 2m in length and are secured across the ground, they can be a tripping hazard. To keep yourself and others safe, we advise getting brightly coloured storm straps. For a middle ground between the best soft ground pegs and proper hard ground pegs, there are metal v-shaped pegs. These pegs have a greater surface area than proper hard ground pegs.
What are the best tent pegs?
We’ve all become increasingly aware of climate change in recent years, so many Mumsnet users rate wooden clothes pegs as a more sustainable and eco-friendly choice for hanging their clothes. That’s why we’re recommending Smith’s Strong Wooden pegs are a plastic-free alternative. Another thing that can cause trips or falls is the use of dull coloured storm straps. Now, you may think that the darker colours suit your awning better, however, they can be quite dangerous. Either take additional guy ropes with you, or take a long length of guy line on a roll, and cut to length as needed. You can add these to double up the guy lines from the same guy line points. If doing this, rather than using one guy rope to follow the line of the frame or pole, you take each outwards to be 45 degrees apart. You can also add extra guy ropes to other points on the tent if you have them. 8, Take down unattached items But I still think the theory I came up with last year and not tested would be the best way to secure a dome or tunnel tent in a storm,and that is a net, that fits over the tent to a depth of the tents guying points.You could then fit as many extra guys on all round the tent by tying or with the use of Clingons this would act like two big hands holding the tent.if you think about it imagine the tent all guyed down and then two large hands covering the tent and holding it down onto the poles it would still move with the gusts but it would be more stable. But I have not tested it as I do not have the sort of tent that requires it. If you’re looking for clothes pegs that will work well for larger items such as duvets, bed sheets, towelling or blankets, these larger-sized soft grip pegs from Lakeland are ideal.
Outside I guy each corner with to guys pulling away from each other so which ever way the wind hits there is a guy taking the strain of course this is on;y suitable for frame tents. I second the hurricane pegs. Brilliant as far as clothes pegs go.” (Loved by Mumsnetter Justmuddlingalong) Our verdict A third party company handles our deliveries and we cannot offer a 100% guarantee that deliveries will arrive on time(Please Note that the couriers will allow 15 minutes past the hour to complete the delivery). Protect your tents, marquees, and gazebos even in the windiest conditions. These tie down kits are designed to keep your structure firmly in place, ensuring peace of mind during unpredictable weather. Perfect for pairing with our best rotary washing line - parents raved about Lakeland’s Soft Grip Pegs on the Mumsnet forums, with many users praising their high-quality design and secure hold. Outstripping all other recommendations by a country mile, they easily won our top spot as the best overall clothes pegs.They are made from synthetic rubber, which provides a bit of stretch and flexibility. However, they do snap. You can only pull a spring half of its length with your hand strength which leaves enough spring action should the wind come up. A compression spring’s push and pull strength gets progressively stronger as it is being pressured. Weather suitability: Can the pegs cope with extreme weather and windy days? Will they fade or become discoloured or brittle if left outside?
