Our cotton/polyester Nordic tipis are supplied with our own specially designed hard ground stakes as the main pegs. Our lightweight Nordic tipis are supplied with lightweight pegs which have also been designed by us and which we believe are the best on the market.
Our super-strong hard ground stakes are made out of hardenable steel (very rigid and strong). Each stake is forged from a single steel rod and has an unhardened stake body to retain toughness and a hardened tip. Grooves, machined along the stake body, further increase holding power. Available without grooves as a Winter edition in size 30 and 45.
The pegs which are a standard part of our lightweight tents combine low weight with maximum strength. They are designed so the ground strap can be loosened without having to extract the peg – great for pitching in a hurry. We combine three types of pegs to optimise weight and function. These are manufactured specially for Tentipi with three quality categories. Our simplest Base pegs are comparable to similar good quality pegs on the market. The level of performance and quality of our pegs in the Comfort and Pro categories are much higher, through our choice of materials and manufacturing techniques, which include hardening.
“T6” is a treatment which increases the strength of the alloy, often more than twice as much. We apply this treatment to all three quality categories.
Base (silver) – pegs made out of AL6061–T6, an alloy that is often chosen for its combination of high strength and good price.
Comfort (blue-grey) – pegs made out of AL7075–T6, “aircraft aluminium”, which is even stronger than the Base material.
Pro (gold) – pegs made out of AL7001–T6, the strongest alloy available with extremely high breaking strength.
Thanks to our unique design, Tentipi’s Y-pegs have about 25 per cent more flexural strength than other Y-pegs of the same material and weight.
Made out of AL5251-H22, 1.6 mm.

stakes AND PEGS
The Sami are a nomadic, indigenous people in northern Scandinavia. They are known as the people of the sun and the wind. Some Sami still work as reindeer-keepers. Traditional Sami clothes are decorated with colourful, woven bands and bands like this used as shoelaces.
Tentipi® Nordic tipis are designed to be used with an open fire or stove; it is this feature that makes them a home from home in all weather conditions.
But please check local regulations, read and understand the instructions provided, and make sure you are fully competent to deal with the risks involved, before striking that match.
