Pack of 6 Lightweight 10g Titanium Rock Tent Pegs
High Quality, Lightweight Titanium Rock/Nail Tent Pegs - 155mm x 4mm, weight 10g each
Titanium tent pegs (or more accurately Titanium Alloy Gr5 tent pegs), have major advantages over other metal tent pegs. Being so much stronger than steel, these titanium alloy tent pegs can be made physically much smaller while still maintaining a high tensile strength. Not only does the titanium alloy make for a strong tent peg, but the smaller physical dimensions also provide a tent peg that is extremely lightweight and indeed on par with lighter aluminium tent pegs. Also, unlike steel tent pegs, titanium alloy tent pegs are extremely corrosion resistant.
So we have tent pegs with the following properties:
For very hard or stony ground you may require these 10g rock pegs (nail pegs). These are thicker than other tent pegs with a flat head - like a nail - that allows you to literally hammer them into the ground with a rock or a hammer. But do bear in mind, if you use a 8lb lump hammer to insert them into rocky ground they can be a real bugger to get out again.
Also bear in mind that nail-type rock pegs do not feature any natural hook in which to loop a guyline over, so the angle you hammer them into the ground is particularly important if you intend to simply loop your guyline around them. If you are just looping your guyline around them, then loop it a couple of times and make sure the tent pegs are inserted into the ground at such an angle that the guyline won't easily slip over and off. You can instead use a tight knot around the nail-type tent peg, such as a Slippery Hitch Knot or attach the guyline directly to the pull loop with a suitable knot. A very useful knot for attaching the guyline directly to the pull loop is a Slippery Half-Hitch Knot or the adjustable Tautline Hitch which will do away with the need for the guyline tensioner or guyline runner.
* Please be aware that he colour of the pull loop/tie loop may differ to that shown in the photos, but the tent pegs themselves are identical.
We do also supply a Lightweight Titanium Tent Peg Combination Pack that features 4 different styles of lightweight titanium tent pegs, with 14 pegs in total - see our other listings or visit our eBay shop.
Titanium Alloy Grade 5 (Gr5)Grade 5 (Gr5), also known as Ti6Al4V, Ti-6Al-4V or Ti 6-4, is the most commonly used alloy. It has a chemical composition of 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (maximum) iron, 0.2% (maximum) oxygen, and the remainder titanium.[5] It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties (excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti).[6] Among its many advantages, it is heat treatable. This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability.
