BareFour BareFour Tent Stakes, Heavy Duty Camping Stakes 12-Inch/8-Inch- Forged Steel Tent Pegs Unbreakable and Inflexible - Available in Rocky Place Dessert Snowfield and Grassland

I use these when I can't get smaller tent Stakes to stay in the ground. These are extremely good. We just slip a piece of cord under the hook when we go to pull them out of the ground. We have no problem.

Good quality steel, even if it's made in China. These would work great for about anything. Sure you can use them for camping, but I bought 2 sets to start off with for my Christmas lights in the yard to keep the strings off the ground. I wrap the wire around the head of the stakes and it works great. Bought a third set this year after seeing I could use more due to more lights! After being contacted by the seller asking how they were working (great), they offered me a 20% discount for another purchase. So I bought another set of these for next year. Good product and great customer service from the seller.Update: Jan. 2021. After buying the last set it was "undeliverable" according to Amazon. I contacted them after NOT receiving my refund for several weeks. In the meantime, I contacted this seller, explained the situation, and asked for the discount code again so I could once again purchase another set. They ignored me for a week and then asked what item I wanted to buy. Duh.... All the email correspondence had the exact item in the subject line and body of the emails. Duh again!! Once they gave me a new code, I went to buy another set and BAM!! The price had jumped up over $5. So my discount code they gave me was basically useless. I looked on Amazon, found almost the exact stakes and they were $12 cheaper. Ordered them and they arrived today. Better case and even comes with rubber caps for the pointy ends. So....the stakes are great, but they lost a star due to the customer service and raising the price. And better and cheaper stakes are there. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NS77PDQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I now use only these stakes for our young trees here on Lake Huron. We get high winds off of the lake from time to time and have lost several trees to the elements prior to staking with these. Coupled with sturdy green strapping these stakes hold very securely when applied at an angle to the tree. Haven't lost a tree yet since switching to these over conventional wooden stakes. Attractive in the landscape as well. Well pkg'ed and fast to ship. I highly recommend this seller.

I bought these stakes as a replacement for the ones that came with my tent. These are NOT coming back out of the ground unless you want them to. They are definitely not light weight and I do not recommend for someone who is backpacking. We camp at state parks and close to our car, so weight does not matter.

I needed some stakes to keep my tarp from constantly blowing away.These fit the bill nicely. They're sturdy enough to hold down pretty much anything in any wind, save a hurricane. They're quite long and they secure the tarp with how deep they penetrate the ground, giving mea sense of security that whatever my tarps are covering it'll always stay covered.
