Pegs?

[Hob&Jill 258]

Suppose the peg is a simple thing and not talked about much but was just wondering what you have on your nets? and why?

 

All the best, H&J

I use triangular hardwood pegs because they are easy to obtain and make. I make them in differing sizes and thicknesses for different types of ground. I.E. If the groung is sandy i use a long thick peg and if it is hard i have nets with thinner pegs on them

I only bothered with tent pegs untill this season, but they are too findly and keep coming off. So ive started making my own Hazel pegs for this coming season

I use hard plastic tent pegs seem to work well on all grounds. Even use slightly bigger ones on my fox nets.

I use tent pegs as they suit the ground i normally work, hard rocky type ground

[Hob&Jill 258]

Do you not find tent pegs bend or snap in hard ground? I

cant say i do mate, they tend to slip in between boaulders or rocks that are just under the surface, after a bit of prodding about that is !

[Hob&Jill 258]

Oops double posted, what type of tent peg do you use?

 

Quite surprised at the results, I thought the triangle pegs would be on top.

 

I use Natural pegs, Hazel mainly.

what amazes me is the size of peg some people put on a net. 4-5 ins is plenty , a net only needs to be in the ground about 2" in firm ground to hold.

 

i use hazel or privet, but last year a mate of the site came out with me( rob reynolds ) and he uses metal tent pegs they were the sort a bit like very thin angle iron.

 

have to say i was impressd very easy to get in the ground

I use the hooped type metal tent pegs, never failed me yet. They're long enough to get a hold in the ground, and narrow enough to get between stones and roots, and go straight in more or less in frozen ground.

I use plastic tent pegs, only cos Im tight,lol

they were on offer 20 for £1-00

bright yellow with large palm friendly top so well easy to push in, and then doubles as a visual aid when collecting in the nets
