Gelert 3" Plastic Groundsheet Peg From  £0.50

These pegs are much better for holding down the footprint than normal pegs. You don't need heavyweight fixings for this job - you just need the footprint to stay still when it's a bit windy - and you don't want to keep kicking normal pegs as you erect the tent on top. It is a good job that they are not intended to be heavyweight fixings though - they pull out easily when you are packing up - as the holes through the tops are not leage enough for our peg pullers. Well worth buying.

Made life much easier using these pegs in lieu of normal pegs for the 3 ground sheets I use underneath my Velmouth XL, 1 sheet under the main body of the tent, 1 under the extention and 1 under the kitchen section.

this is a good product.
