I use hazel..

 

Cut them 6.5 inch..

 

Use straight bits not to thin not to thick ..

 

Them ones in pic look a bit naff, but will do the job..

6" heavy duty plastic off ebay cheap almost unbreakable and I use tha hook

to tuck under the draw string keeps the net tidy

I get the chippys at work to run me off 500 at a time ,that way theres always a box full in the garage

I have now found holly is a better material , beating sticks from Hazel are handy but to much tapping and they crack split the prefered wood is Holly might give some a whirl I will let you know how they go ,

A shaped Hard wood peg is the best IMO, soft woods just rot or snap and if not shaped, leave you with some pretty sore palms on a frosty morning, unless you have hairy palms like myself

I'm with Sirius,I favour a traditional style, hardwood peg......there is a fair amount of effort involved in making them but its worthwhile as they last years....

For years I made my own, and also bought some ready made,

Recently i sent away on Ebay for 6 inch bright yellow plastic tent pegs.

They were as cheap as chips, hold in all types of ground, they are strong and wont break, and being bright yellow, easy to see.

As you can see by this post im impressed.

I have had some hazel pegs on some nets 7 years..

 

They dont look much different now compared to the first season.. I could not imagine them rotting..

 

Hard would will be stronger, I have snapped hazzel pegs

 

Plus side they are free

 

I am actually making some pegs this afternoon..

Spot on mate I always made my own.

If you want dab a bit of bright paint on the tops to make em more visible or get the coloured nets!

I have some nets with hardwood pegs that I got from a gamefair, but I too prefer hazel pegs. The pointed end is wedge shaped as opposed to the pencil style of the above post. A small hole drilled near the top for the net cord. I also try and smooth the tops off to make it easier on the heel of your hand when pushing the pegs in. It is because they are round it also suits the way I wind my nets up.

i got a load of 10mm nylon for free at work and just cut them into wedges. tough as nails and would take loads to snap 1.
