Tent Pegs & Anchoring – Secure Hold for Every Tent
Reliable anchoring determines whether your tent or tarp survives a storm or blows away at night. High-quality tent pegs, robust guy ropes and thoughtful accessories like cord locks and bungees ensure your shelter stands firm even in wind and rain. Our range covers every ground type – from hard alpine soil to soft sand and snow.
A particular highlight is the Swiss brand SwissPiranha: the RT series is made from recycled plastic, is extremely lightweight yet remarkably strong. The pegs are manufactured in Switzerland and offer a sustainable alternative to conventional aluminium or steel pegs. The range is complemented by proven products from BCB International, Snugpak and Nordisk.
Buying Guide – Anchoring
Tent Pegs (SwissPiranha RT Series)
The SwissPiranha RT series comprises four sizes: RT90 (9 cm, ultralight), RT120 (12 cm, all-round), RT150 (15 cm, standard) and RT220 (22 cm, heavy duty). All are made from recycled plastic, extremely lightweight yet robust enough for most ground types. The Y-profile provides high holding resistance at minimal weight. For ultralight trekking, the RT90 or RT120 are ideal; for larger tents and windy conditions, choose the RT150 or RT220.
Guy Ropes & Paracord
Paracord is the most versatile rope in the outdoor world. BCB offers two variants: 50 kg breaking strength (lightweight, ideal for guy lines and repairs) and 250 kg breaking strength (for heavy loads, hammock suspension and emergency scenarios). Both variants are 15 m long and available in olive. Nordisk also offers a polyester guy line with 2.5 mm diameter, specifically designed for tents and tarps.
Bungees & Cord Locks
Elastic bungees from BCB are excellent for tensioning tarps, covers and tent flysheets. The 1 m cords in packs of 4 are available in olive and yellow/orange. Nordisk cord locks (in S and L) enable quick, tool-free adjustment of rope tension – indispensable in changeable weather.
Snow & Sand Anchors
On loose ground such as snow, sand or fine gravel, conventional pegs fail. The SwissPiranha snow & sand anchor set was designed specifically for such conditions. The broad anchor surface distributes the load over a larger area, providing reliable hold – even on winter tours and at sandy beaches.
Areas of Use
Tent pegs and anchoring accessories are essential for every outdoor overnight stay: from lightweight trekking tents in the Alps to family camping tents at campsites and tarp setups in bushcraft camps. Paracord also serves as a universal all-purpose rope for washing lines, repairs and emergencies.
Tip: Always carry some spare pegs and a few metres of paracord. A broken peg or snapped guy line is nearly impossible to improvise in the field – a spare set weighs only a few grams.
