I use heavy duty 8 inch metal eyes, used for fencing, ones with the threads on and used grinder to hone a bit of a point on.

Hope this helps

i use a broom handle cut down with a point on the end or bivvy pegs bought them from army navy store

[darrell jnr 16]

as terrier central says broom handle shanks cut down , works for me too mate...atb...darrell.

I use bits of broom handles too, but with this hard frost they are impossible to use.

 

It took me 40 mins to net a 15 holer yestarday, ground is like concrete, very glad i didnt have to dig.

 

I have 3 nets with stainless steel spikes, and they went in a treat, i am changing all mine to steel pegs.

 

They dont hold as well in normal conditions, but all mine are double peggers anayway, so they should be alright.

 

Cheers FTB

cheers lads for all replys but as ftb says netting up in these conditions is ridiculous with wooden pegs so looking for usefull hints on metal ones the frost is almost a ft at the moment and temp round here is set to get worse shame iv just gone back to work bring on the weekend.

All i can advise mate is dont go for tent pegs or anything like that, they bend and snap. Dont get aluminium, go for stainless steel as they are tough and wont rust.

If you know any handy folk (even a farmer from your permission etc) shoud weld you up a few.

 

I feel your pain, i put a rock straight through the nail on my thumb yestarday trying to mash wooden pegs into frozen ground. By f@ck that hurt

Bad times lol.
