How do you get tent pegs in to hard ground?

Getting tent pegs into hard ground can be a challenge, but there are several techniques and tools that can help:

  1. Preparation and Positioning:

    • Look for areas where the ground might be slightly softer, like near vegetation or under fallen leaves.
    • Avoid rocky or extremely compacted areas if possible.
  2. Use a Mallet or Hammer:

    • A rubber mallet or a camping hammer with a flat striking surface can help you apply more force without damaging the peg.
  3. Angle the Peg:

    • Insert the peg at a slight angle (around 45 degrees) to the ground. This can help it find a path around rocks or hard spots.
  4. Wiggle and Twist:

    • Instead of trying to force the peg straight down, try wiggling and twisting it as you apply pressure. This can help the peg find a path through the hard ground.
  5. Rock the Peg Back and Forth:

    • Rocking the peg gently while applying pressure can help it work its way into the ground.
  6. Soak the Ground:

    • Pouring water around the area where you want to insert the peg can soften the ground, making it easier to drive the peg in.
  7. Use a Tent Peg Puller:

    • If you have one, a tent peg puller can be used to provide extra leverage when pushing the peg into the ground.
  8. Upgrade to Stronger Pegs:

    • Consider using heavy-duty or specialized pegs designed for hard ground conditions. These may have more robust designs or special features to help them penetrate tough soil.
  9. Avoid Sharp Bends:

    • Avoid using pegs with sharp bends, as they can be more difficult to insert into hard ground.
  10. Use Anchors or Weights:

    • In extremely hard ground, consider using alternative anchoring methods like sandbags or heavy rocks.

Remember to always be careful when using tools to avoid injury. If you encounter particularly challenging ground, it might be worth carrying a small selection of pegs suited for different conditions.

Are Vango tents good?

Yes, Vango tents are widely regarded as high-quality and reliable. Known for their innovative designs and durable materials, Vango tents offer excellent weather protection, stability, and ease of setup. They feature technologies like the TBS® (Tension Band System) for added stability in windy conditions and use high-performance fabrics that are both waterproof and breathable. Vango offers a variety of tents, from lightweight backpacking models to spacious family tents, making them suitable for a range of outdoor activities. Their tents are popular among campers, hikers, and festival-goers due to their balance of comfort, durability, and affordability.

Are Vango tents waterproof?

Yes, Vango tents are designed to be waterproof. Most Vango tents come with a high Hydrostatic Head (HH) rating, which measures the fabric's ability to withstand water pressure. Typically, their tents have a rating of 3000mm to 5000mm or higher, meaning they can easily handle heavy rain without leaking. Vango also uses durable waterproof materials like ProTex® fabric and incorporates features like taped seams and waterproof zippers to ensure full protection against rain and moisture. These elements make Vango tents highly reliable in wet conditions, keeping campers dry and comfortable.

Do Vango airbeam tents come with a pump?

Yes, Vango AirBeam tents typically come with a pump included. The pump is specifically designed to inflate the AirBeam structure, allowing for quick and easy setup without the need for traditional tent poles. Most models include a double-action pump with a pressure gauge to ensure you inflate the beams to the correct pressure for optimal stability and performance. This makes setting up AirBeam tents fast and convenient, even for large family or group tents.

Can you wash a Vango tent carpet?

Yes, you can wash a Vango tent carpet, but it's important to do so with care to avoid damaging the materials.

How long will a Vango tent last?

The lifespan of a Vango tent depends on several factors, including how often it's used, the conditions it's exposed to, and how well it's maintained. However, with proper care and regular maintenance, a Vango tent can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more.
