 Best beach vacation ever, thanks to these metal tent stakes!Sep 07, 2011
By Christopher Eric Wright
My recurring problem every year is providing ample shade on the beach for my family of four, including our 6-year-old boy and 1-year-old girl. We have tried the 2-3 umbrella route and a "pop-up" beach tent with the plastic tent poles with cord inside. Umbrellas are ok, but need to be closed when it's windy, run the risk of flying out of the sand and becoming a weapon, and constantly need to be re-adjusted with the moving sun. A beach tent with plastic tent poles is worse and completely impractical. The one I bought last year for $75 was destroyed on our first windy day. So this year I decided to use my 10' x 10' tailgating tent (this is the exact one I own: [...]). My fear was, despite its heavy metal skeleton, the wind could catch it and send it flying like Dorothy's house in the Wizard of Oz. What I needed was long metal stakes I could drive into the sand with a mallet. I am happy to report these fit the bill perfectly. I used two on each corner and one on each rope, totaling 12. Even on the windiest of days leading up to and following Irene, when everyone else on the beach had to close their umbrellas, our structure never moved an inch. I did not raise the tent higher than its lowest setting because it provided the most shade that way. It required me, at 6' 2", to duck to get under the tent, but once inside I could almost stand up straight and sitting in my beach chair was perfect. Needless to say, we were the envy of the entire beach and the "hot spot" for all of the kids my son's age. I set-up our "condo" every morning at 9:00 AM and we spent a solid 7-8 hours a day enjoying the shade and real estate it provided. I will undoubtedly be doing this again every year in the future. One note, the stakes lasted two weeks for me, but started to bend after being hammered in and removed a dozen times. I am not unhappy with this fact, for $8 bucks, it's more than a worthwhile annual investment.

 Works well for soft ground tent stakingMay 26, 2011
By Sean

We used these as well as 4 other stake types on our last trip to assateague. The clear winner were the 12" plastic stakes for strength but these were a close second. I can see where many others think these are weaker than they look online. They are very thin and if hammered into hard ground they would bend. I used a rubber mallet into sandy ground and they worked well. They are easier to pull out than the plastic stakes too. For sand they have a good amount of surface area and if put in the proper direction they seemed strong enough to hold a tent down in a good wind.

 Good for soft groundApr 30, 2011

We used these stakes at the beach to fasten down our tent and an EZ-Up 10'x10' canopy. Neither shelter budged in the constant seaside wind, which reached some fairly significant speeds, (20-30 mph).
I would never attempt to use these stakes in any kind of rocky ground. They aren't meant for that kind of terrain. I did break the head off one of the stakes when pulling it up, but I should have known better.
Bottom line, use them in soft ground (no rocks), and use care when extracting them.
