Delta
Ground Anchors...the test
The strongest plastic pegs on the planet
DELTA
Ground Anchors are made from stainless steel which
is both very tough and corrosion resistant, They are formed
from channel section which makes the peg very rigid.
The unique design ensures that the tension in the guy line acts
approximately at right angles to the base member, spreading the load
and eliminating leverage. The base member itself has a much
larger surface area and therefore much greater resistance to the
forces acting upon it.

Stainless Steel Anchor
Composite plastic anchor
Made to the same very high standards, strength and rigidity, but having a
greatly reduced weight.
|
DELTA
Ground Anchors
have been tested by Marlift in Plymouth.
The stainless tent pegs were tested up to an incredible
200kg in compacted ground and only then did the tongue start to distort.
That's 31.5 stones. In dry ground they withstood 70kg. Overall, they have
an advised rating of 115kg. The nylon composites weigh a mere 42g yet have
been tested to 65 - 72 Kg. by Exeter University on average that's over
1600 times their own weight.

DELTA
Ground Anchors are most effective when used to
fasten guy lines upwards of 30°
to the horizontal, but because of their unique shape, still work
extremely well when holding down vertically.
All pegs are made from 1.5 mm 304 grade stainless steel channel
section ( 12 x 18 x 12 mm ) set at 60°
Satin finish.

I have had a set of these DELTA
Ground Anchors on test over a
period of several months.
I have tested them on several occasions on very wet and sodden ground as well as
on 'hard standing' which consisted of compacted stones.
The DELTA
Ground Anchors proved to
be very efficient and when tested side by side with a conventional plastic peg
stayed in the ground for much longer.

Ground Anchor completely inserted |
Testing was done by using two guy ropes each the same length and at the same
distance from the awning. A peg was used for one and a DELTA
Ground Anchor for the
other they were both pulled on at the same time.
The tent peg started to move first, as it did so the slack was taken up on the
guy rope to make the pull even again. The pull was repeated and the tent peg came almost out of the
ground, but the anchor was still in it's original position and had barely twitched a
bit. |
|
|
After a tug, the Anchor is still in the ground,
unmoved, but the peg is all but out. |
|
Easy to extract by simply sliding the guy rope along the peg and
pull out
|
When used to hold down the awning, the Ground anchor proved to be much better than a normal peg,
eliminated the need to keep banging the pegs in and re-tensioning the guy ropes,
when the ground is wet and the weather is windy, a must
for every Camper and Caravanners kit.
One set is all you need.
Because the anchor lays flat with the ground you are less likely to trip over it
too.
Other comments on
the Anchors include;
Phil, from Cornwall. He
said that they were the best pegs he'd used in twenty years. He has also
had four men yo-yoing on six pegs?!!
Repeat order: from a
doctor in Staffordshire who was absolutely over the moon with the product.
He has a large family tent and is paranoid about it going anywhere,
that's five packs he's bought now.- That's one tent that wont be
moving very far in a hurry
