GROUND DOGS: THE MOST PURPOSEFUL PEGS
HOW DO YOU SECURE AN AWNING IN HIGH WINDS?
Securing an awning is extremely important as it’s necessary for protection, especially if there’s suddenly strong winds as this can place a strain on the mechanism of the awning, and over time this can cause damage. If the winds become dangerously strong it’s advisable not to leave an awning outside and instead place it into a storage position, as it is not designed to offer total stability if the conditions are extreme as it can break, tear or rip the material of the awning, although this only occurs on a rare occasion. It’s helpful to choose materials which suit the design of an awning which can withstand various weather conditions. To firmly secure the awning, anchoring it with strong pegs like ground dogs screw in pegs is normally the best possible method of protection. Another way of securing the awning is by using wind poles which can add additional support and keeps the awning in place, so it remains upright and avoids any damage.
WHAT ARE THE MOST DURABLE PEGS?
The most durable pegs are the ground dogs screw in pegs, as they are marine graded pegs and are made from stainless steel, which is the highest grade available. They are designed for use outside including in wet or coastal environments. The pegs are weatherproof and can remain outdoors without causing any damage, rust or corrosion, making them the most reliable option. They are available in a range of different types including various sizes, colours and wire thickness. The wire thickness is graded according to the requirements. The marine grade offers the most stability and protection from any kind of damage. The sizes are usually either large or regular. The larger size is normally 76mm and are a similar size to the standard size of a plastic peg. They are suitable for heavier duty materials and are comfortable to use. The thickness of the steel used is usually 2mm, so they will not break apart and will withstand different weather conditions.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAND PEGS AND NORMAL PEGS?
Sand pegs are both wider and longer than the normal model of pegs. They are designed with a greater surface area for pulling against the softer sand to prevent them from dissembling from the ground, unlike most standard pegs. Sand pegs are constructed with either polyurethane or polycarbonate. The normal standard pegs are simply not long or wide enough to provide all the necessary amount of grip, although they will be easy to position into the sand, they can still be removed with a simple gust of wind. Sand pegs can be driven more firmly into the ground by using either a hammer or a rubber mallet and can be removed by slacking the rope which is attached to the peg by pulling it from an angle, making them more effective than normal pegs, however they don’t have the versatility of ground dogs screw in pegs.
