These 12g V-section titanium tent pegs are extremely good in softer ground where their V-shape enables them to grip and hold much firmer than any of the other titanium tent pegs that we supply.

A smooth round tent peg will much easier pull out of soft ground than a V-shape peg which is designed to hold more ground. However, V-section tent pegs can be much harder to push into firmer or stony ground. Whilst V-section tent pegs are less prone to bend or kink than round tent pegs, bear in mind that any tent peg can be bent or destroyed by applying too much brute force or abuse. 

Generally speaking you will find that the tent pegs that come as standard with your tent will be quite adequate in most situations. Only extreme situations may call for a different type of tent peg. For example, camping on a beach would certainly require a tent peg that could hold a lot of ground. In such circumstances the Superlite titanium shepherd’s crook tent pegs that we also supply would likely be totally useless, and this would be where large, wide V-shape tent pegs would come into their own.  

* Please be aware that he colour of the pull loop cord may differ to that shown in the photos, but the tent pegs themselves are identical.

We do also supply a Lightweight Titanium Tent Peg Combination Pack that features 4 different styles of lightweight titanium tent pegs, with 14 pegs in total - see our other listings or visit our eBay shop.

Titanium Alloy Grade 5 (Gr5) Grade 5 (Gr5), also known as Ti6Al4V, Ti-6Al-4V or Ti 6-4, is the most commonly used alloy. It has a chemical composition of 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (maximum) iron, 0.2% (maximum) oxygen, and the remainder titanium.[5] It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties (excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti).[6] Among its many advantages, it is heat treatable. This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability.
