Marquee pegs, stakes or pins

What ever you call marquee pegs they form the most important structural part of a traditional marquee. It is both important to understand that the angle of the peg and the length are very important on determining how stable a marquee will be in windy conditions.

Most pegs are made out of steel as these last much longer than the traditional cleft wooden pegs. However great care must be given to guarding against people tripping over metal pegs as they have sharp edges.

Normally a guy rope would be attached to the peg with a larks foot (a type of knot) The peg is angled away form the direction of pull, this will greatly increase the amount of force required to pull the peg out of the ground.

The normal size for the marquee pegs I use are 30"x1" or 760mmx25mm. Pictured in the middle. However as you can see I can provide many different sizes.

The largest peg on the left hand side is a 40"x1"1/4 and is used for very large marquees. It have a double washer on the top this is to stop a 2" ratchet strap from sliding off the top of the peg.

Some times it is impractical to use a very long peg, because they are very difficult to knock in and then remove. In such circumanstances several pegs can be used together to provide more resistance to pull out.The two main methods of doings this are to make a plate or bar in which you can attach two or three pegs to one guy rope or alternatively you can attach the guy rope to the first peg. Then place another peg behind the first peg and join the top of the first peg with a rope to the second.

The wooden peg on the left is a brailing peg and is used to attach marquee walls to the ground, simple but very effective as depending on where you twist the loop of rope around the peg you can alter the depth that the peg goes into the ground.

Type A pegs refer to the middle peg without any washer on it and type B has a washer on the top of the peg to stop the guy rope sliding off.

There are two common ways of driving pegs into the ground sledge hammers and wackers (or simmilar machine).

Sledge hammers come in different sizes and the best size for a beginner is usually 7pds were as a stronger person with some skill usually prefers 13pds.

A new wacker complete with a peg driving cup cost £2600 +vat and a second hand machine costs £1200 +vat and carriage.
