Howdy all, last minute "Bunnings trip" whilst out at Lake Burrumbeet... I've never had decent light weight soft turff/sand pegs and needed some this weekend...
It's all the little things the weigh up on our travels, so I've been replacing the old iron stakes with M10 200mm gal wood screws with the cordless impact drill for the rocky stuff... Thing is, I left the old 10" and bigger heavier pegs at home ....whoops! I ALWAYS forget stuff! Always something! So off into Bunnings at the last hour of thier day and grabbed some 30x30 x3mm alloy angle, a 7mm drill bit with a Hex head fitting for the impact and were away...
An hour on the hacksaw, drill and for $50 I ended up with x12, 250mm alloy pegs.. most at the camping shops are light weight so I thought it was a fair trade off for roughly $4 ea... They work well, but I'm still looking at those pig tail plastic jobs for the really soft beach camps, the length you need for sand it's the way to go weight wise ..
