removing rock pegs ?

I used to use a claw hammer, but now have got a mini crow bar (just over 1 ft long). I still break some of the plastic bits off, though. 🙁

Ummm... did you report it to the warden before you left??
Dont fancy driving on that pitch and getting a puncture!
Had one the same couple of years ago but I persevered with a hammer and eventually got it out , but like WC I now have a crow bar, mines bigger that his though :lol: :lol: :lol:
Bigger isn't always better 😉 :lol:

When we were on a site last week i struggled to get a few in , a gravel pitch to , was hammering away at one and I bent it , but I just twist and pull them out , no hammer or crow bar - yet !

You need to treat your self to a proper hard standing pitch where a lump hammer is required to persuade the rock pegs to go in..... when we were at Rivendale with the Woosies in the old Quarry i had to pre drill the holes with a 6.5mm long reach masonry bit before some of them could be persuade to enter ....
:lol: never ! Keilder was like that on one of their pitches , didn't even get the awning up if you'd seen the way the ground sloped down , front legs fully unwound and rear legs hardly moved and ground it was solid , I'd post a picture showing yous but let's not go there !! 😗
As well as a claw hammer and a very large flat head screwdriver I use a large pair of pliers to grip the head and twist the peg. Twisting the peg seems to make removal just that bit easier.
Just put up the porch awning and will need to take it down on Saterday and I am not looking forward to it as I had to use the large claw hammer to get the pegs in.

I use and old pair of wire stripping pliers similar to these to grip, turn and pull out rock pegs; works very well.

If you give them a knock back and forwards, side to side, the hole they're in will increase in size. This makes them easier to remove.
