tent peg

Canvas shelter securer

A tent peg is a pointed stake, usually made of metal, plastic, or wood, driven into the ground to anchor the ropes or corners of a tent.

Also called a tent stake, it keeps the structure taut and secure against wind or shifting.

Make sure the tent pegs are hammered in at an angle for better hold.
