tent pegs

Canvas shelter fasteners

Tent pegs are the stakes driven into the ground to anchor a tent's guy lines and corners.

They range from simple metal spikes to specialized designs for different soil types.

Also called tent stakes.

We forgot the tent pegs and had to use rocks to hold down the corners.
