Tip, if buying pegs, get the ones that drive in with a drill, I invested in some and they are great. They weren't expensive from go outdoors.

Even cheaper to buy from Screwfix!

I brought 2 boxes of them ok on grass, on hardstanding they are no use. I use rock pegs and a lump hammer.

We found our screw pegs worked best on hard standing, but we bought the metal pegs from Screwfix. They are known as coach screws.

Not long ago i posted a photo of some super long J pegs made out of steel spiral reinforcing bar. I’ve used similar and from my experience they hold anywhere, even very fine soil/sand pitches.

Viewing them, would they not be difficult to drive in, at least with a lump hammer, simply because you can't strike them in line with their shanks?

I never had a problem driving them into a the ground on a pitch. The only problem I have with reinforcing bar is emotional, as I lost a part of my right thumb to a bar as a guillotine came down in Cardiff GKN steelworks where I was working on production shifts. Ruined my bonus for that days shift!!!!
