Awnings on hardstanding

You need steel pegs & a large hammer ☺

I have some of These but others use screw in pegs & use their battery steady winder to put them in/out

Thanks MollysMummy, Are all hardstandings capable of taking steel pegs? I really have no experience of these. Only ever pitching on grass.

You will definately need steel pegs Aldi may still have some left from their promotion and a good lump hammer,to remove i have found if you twist the peg it is easier to pull out

Thanks for your advice. I will give them a look. Sounds like I will need something a bit stronger than what I have got at the moment.

The trouble with various hard standings is that some are that compacted you have trouble getting  the pegs in & some are the complete opposite and the pegs won't stay in. Given the choice I'd have grass .... I loath hard standings.

I prefer a good claw hammer which also makes extraction simple. Dog ears under pin and tread on striking side of head and up comes the peg.

DT, I use an impact driver & coach screws. They do less damage to the surface, are more secure & take less trouble to put in.

Been using  THESE for a couple years now, Can be screwed in with the cordless or bashed in with the widely available special tool #Hickory 2LB if the ground is too compacted.

MTD, the coach screws cost £4.98 for 20, they’re stronger & last longer👍🏻😊, yup, that’s my Yorkshireness kicking in😂😂
