Screwfix it is i will look at some pegs it nearer to home 🙏
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.

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!!!!
Don’t forget things like rebar may have sharp ends which in the wind may cause damage to the canvas and loops. For decades the screwpegs have served us well. Both the oem s and the Screwfix ones described by Buckman. The originals have sharpless tops that hook onto the canvas securing bands. No chance of damage in the wind.
Installation for years has been the hammer. Removal the claw hammer nail extractor.
Looking at the rebar is it easy to pull out of the ground🤔

Yes no problem removing them using good quality claw hammer. Wrt your comments I would use them on storm straps, and/or just at the corners of an awning in periods where bad weather was forecast. Sometimes would use them with extra guys on the awning. I first bought some when the standard awning pegs even with storm straps and guys just would not safely hold the awning at Freshwater East. CMHC. The hard pitches were sodden and composed of very fine aggregate/sand. After a sleepless night during a storm holding down the awning I went out to buy the J pegs. Normally though I’d use ordinary rock pegs with a spiral scroll down their length. I was never aware of the long J pegs made from reinforcing bar doing any damage to the awning or its loops. But you can get smooth variants too.

They look good for a. Storm
We are about to be erecting an awning on a seasonal pitch, it will potentially be staying up for 9 months, we are not allowed to use the grass. So hopefully these will do the job.
Just what we had and used in a likewise manner to yours.
They look good quality. and easy removal ,and they should do the job
Do you think they are as good as your rebar ones🤔😉
You can buy J pegs similar to rebar ones, but which are smooth, thus addressing one of your concerns. The Towsure link in #34 gives details.
That are smooth surfaced.
The screwpegs with their serrated surface probably add more resistance in bad weather.
The Isabella storm pegs are long but L shaped adding to security in the ground.
As we are interested in seasonals the pmut be strong and robust enough to remain fastened in the ground no matter what.🤞
The J pegs can also be serrated offering better grip. Our Isabella L shape storm pegs were only used on the inside of the awning as the strap goes over the corners so hard to angle them into the ground.
I must say I’ve never had any problems with my Izzy storm pegs. Dare I ask if you bend over or kneel down🙉😁
They have never been a problem as they are quite long and stood firm in high winds. If I bend over I will probably be airing my views! 😆
My Magnum had a set of additional tie down points low down on the outside faces. Very effective but a bit of a bind to set up. Think they may not be fitted these days. See post #11 in the link below

Just wondering if anyone has the above porch awning and could give me your experiences,reviews etc. After 2 trips away with our Kampa Rally pro air.....I'm not impressed with it. No problem threading through awning rail. Main fault was condensation in the mornings. Not just a little,quite a...
