These orange anodized aluminum tent stakes, which feature a three-sided design, are durable yet lightweight weighing only 1/2 ounce each. WYSIWYG : What you see (in the photos) is what you get.
I'll start by saying I've tried them all fomr thick, 11" spike to fancy helical stakes costing nearly $15 each. These stakes have never failed me. Whether the ground be compacted, red Georgia clay, Blue Ridge Mountain crushed gravel or straight up play sand consistency ground, these have always worked. I was even caught in the middle of a tornado & thunderstorm in the North Georgia mountians & the tent stayed put through the 75+ winds & downdrafts!
The aluminum, 3-sided construction is very strong. Notches in the stake heads help secure rainflys, tarps or tiedowns. Also, the strings make extraction much easier.
Spend or save your money however you like, but my hard earned money is on these stakes.
