michael flatters 2 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 12" pegs made from 8mm rebar with a nut welded on the top.Disposable ground anchors on more permanent sets. Quote Link to post
unclemicky 3 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I like to attach mine to a fence with para cord , failing that some 12inch stake's well into some solid ground , as they need to be solid due to any opportunistic fox coming round and pulling the fenn about trying to get the rabbit fenns are too expensive to loose like that , Quote Link to post

darbo 4,774 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 using a snare wire trap to stakes. Quote Link to post
heritage 202 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 There are several options available for use with fenns.....either use a nice wooden peg attached onto the split ring or a similar wooden stake thats driven through the center of the ring itself, you also have the option of using steel trap pegs and extentions (available from fourteenacre) There initial purchase price can be a little off putting but they were designed for the job and will last a lifetime under normal use.I dont like paracord as its easily chewed through and straining wire is to ridgid to match the natural contours.....atb Quote Link to post

heritage 202 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Theres nothing wrong with either a bent u shape pin or a carbine hook......i always use a snap hook if theres a fence within reach,i dont use a u shaped pin though as ive never had the need.,i was merley listing a few worthwhile options....

trapperman 474 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I attached eye bolts to my mk6, about £1 each from screwfix and you can smash them into the hardest ground with your hammer no probs, for mk4 i had a load of small threaded bar that i cut and welded into t bars about 8" long.

moxy 617 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I weld an 8" bar of stainless to the rings but always leave the rings on, these come in usefull if you have to clip an extension on. The stainless rod doesent suit all ground types though, no matter how hard you bang them in, so a wooden peg can be slotted through the ring just to be on the safe side. Quote Link to post
lamaha 7 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yep, old tent pegs for me! Quote Link to post
