Blue screw report

[TheRealAndy]

I almost forgot that I was going to report back on the success. At fraser over christmas i took both sizes, 8 of the larger, 4 of the smaller. The tarp was about 6*4 meters. We used the 2 of the large per corner and they worked a treat, even with 30kt winds. I couldn't screw some of them in all the way, so did it as far as i could and they still worked fine. The smaller ones were not worth a pinch of sh*t, so dont waste you cash. It does say on the packet that the smaller ones are for firm soil and you should follow the advice!

Better than normal sand pegs, definately. Considering they dont cost a whole lot more I would highly recommend them. The only problem is that they take up more space when packing up, but not much more!

I was hoping that someone would report on those Blue Screws. Looks like it will be the larger type for me but I can see the need for the smaller ones for firm soil so will probably get a couple of those as well.

Forgot to add, if you need blue screws then dont forget to pack something to sit under your poles! I forgot to take something to fraser and spent an hour looking for old timber to stop the poles sinking into the sand!
