What Exactly Are Screw-In Pegs?

For years, the traditional straight, thin & light tent peg was your best friend for securing your camping setup. It was a must-have in your camping kit, and a must-have in your spares kit for when you lost/forgot/broke one.  But when it comes to versatility, strength and durability tent pegs often fall short. Don’t get us wrong, the classic tent peg has it’s place; think quick trips, low-wind weather, backyard projects etc. 

A screw-in peg is a modern alternative to traditional tent pegs, designed to provide superior grip and ease of use when securing tents, awnings, mats, and other camping equipment. Unlike standard pegs that require a mallet to hammer them into the ground, screw-in pegs feature a spiral design that allows them to be drilled or twisted into the ground for a stronger, more secure hold. 

Why Choose Screw-In Pegs Over Standard Pegs?

When it comes to securing your tent, awning, or ground mat, the right pegs can make all the difference. Traditional tent pegs can be frustrating—bending, slipping, or failing to hold firm in tough conditions. That’s where screw-in pegs step up as the superior choice. If you haven’t made the switch yet, here’s why it’s worth the investment, along with a breakdown of our high-quality screw-in peg range.

Screw-in pegs provide unmatched holding power compared to traditional hammer-in pegs. Here’s why:

  • Stronger Grip – Their spiral design allows them to anchor deeply into the ground, resisting pullout even in high winds.
  • Easy to Use – Simply drill them in and out with an electric or manual driver—no more struggling with a mallet.
  • Versatile – Ideal for use on a variety of terrains, including sand, grass, and firm soil.
  • Durable & Reusable – Made from high-strength materials, they last longer and won’t bend or warp like standard pegs.

How Do I Know Which Ones I Need?

We get it – picking the size, type and style when there are so many different use cases can be hard. We’ve broken down each peg into the three main areas that matter most when looking at what to buy

  • Size. Select this based on your storage allowances but also consider what you’ll be screwing into, i.e. a softer ground needs a longer peg with more surface area. More surface area = more grip.
  • What the pack includes. Select this based on how big or small your set up area is – do you have a mat with 12 eyelets? or just 4?
  • Ideal Use. This is the key factor. Where are you using your pegs? Each peg has different ideal uses, but don’t stress over this point – they often cover a wide range as they are designed to be as versatile as possible.

TL;DR

Here’s a summary of our detailed breakdown if quick visuals are more your thing

Screw-In Sand Pegs Kit: Perfect for Loose & Sandy Terrain

Are you a beach camper? Or do you often find you are setting up in soft, sandy terrain? 

Sand pegs have a larger surface area, so you get deeper into the ground – meaning tighter grip. When dealing with a soft soil this is what you need to ensure it’s not going to pull out with a breath of wind!

The kit comes with 6 of the pegs (40cm), a drill adaptor and a handy carry bag. Check out the Screw-In Sand Pegs Kit
