Peggy Peg Fix and Go Canopy Anchor Plates set

[Moped]

I Purchased this set on the back of a recomendation from a dutch camper who I was speaking to who demonstrated the benefits of the set.

It has made a massive difference to our canopy use and I would highly recommend that anybody who has a Thule or Fiamma canopy purchase this set.

We no longer use storm straps as the ground anchors secure the support feet in place and there is no need to keep banging pegs in and removing pegs when rolling the canopy out or away.

Even without storm straps we have no issues now leaving the canopy open when we are away from the van.

OK its a £60 investment for the kit but well worth it IMHO.

Having looked at their range of products I plan on buying a few more Peggy Peg bits and pieces when I visit the NEC show in October.

They look great but that is some investment especially when you add on the real heavy duty pegs at 40 quid plus, for a pack of 4!

They do look good;

Images of the set up. Ground here is hard so hammered the metal pegs in which can be unscrewed with the peggy peg fixing tool when time to move on. On softer ground the plastic pegs are screwed in with lock nuts locking the plate to the ground.

I seem to remember that one of our members manufactured some ground plates for awning feet a while ago

I use similar and rock pegs to fix them.

I carry a 2.5 lb lump hammer and will use that as long as I am able. I haven't been defeated by hard ground yet but when it gets too much I'll consider the peggy peg set up. Hopefully not for many years though!

The only worry is that when the legs are so well secured a strong gust of wind could damage the gears in the winding mechanism

I use these as they were in the van when we bought it

Canopies should be good for wind speeds up to 25mph. Generally if the forecast wind speeds exceed 20mph our canopy remains shut. Ours is a 4.5m wide canopy so a larger example. Smaller canopies can probably be left open in stronger winds.

What I like about the simplicity of the Peggy Peg system is that it does not rely on standard pegs but their patented screw in screw threaded versions which are easy to remove with their bolt heads in all ground types which permit pegs to be used. Removing traditional pegs in hard Spanish ground can be hardwork but yes you can soak the ground first. And the base plates are secure in all types of ground so no need for storm straps. And finally you just open the feet holders to free the leg to enable the canopy to be wound in quickly or wound out quickly and secured without constantly pegging or peg removing.
