Sea to Summit Ground Control Light Tent Pegs 6-Pack

The Sea to Summit Ground Control Light Tent Pegs are ultralight 7075-T6 anodized aluminum tent pegs sold in a pack of six, each weighing 7g and measuring 15cm in length. A TriPoint cross-section with a wide front face and short spine maximizes grip in varied ground conditions while keeping weight to a minimum. These pegs are standard equipment on Sea to Summit Alto and Telos tents and are also available separately for use with tarps and other ultralight shelters.

Ultralight Without Compromise

At 7g per peg, the Ground Control Light Tent Pegs deliver a meaningful weight saving over heavier steel or thicker aluminum pegs without sacrificing structural integrity. The 7075-T6 alloy (an aircraft-grade material) is significantly stronger and more rigid than the 6000-series aluminum found in many camp pegs, so the slim TriPoint profile holds its shape under load rather than bending on a hard strike. For a six-peg set the total peg weight is 42g, leaving more of a pack's weight budget for other gear.

Designed to Stay Put

The TriPoint shape gives the Ground Control Light Tent Pegs a wide front face that bites into the ground and resists rotation, a common failure mode for round or Y-beam pegs in firm or mixed terrain. Multiple notches along the shaft let guy cords attach closer to the ground rather than riding up near the peg head, which lowers the anchor point and reduces the leverage that wind load applies to the peg. The result is a more secure hold in rocky soil, packed dirt, and mixed ground, where ultralight shelters are most often pitched.

Easy to Find, Easy to Pull

Each Ground Control Light Tent Peg includes a reflective pull-cord. Looping a finger through the cord pulls the peg free without digging around a flush peg head, and the reflective material catches headlamp or torch light, making pegs easier to spot in low-light conditions when striking camp after dark. The cord also serves as a visual marker so pegs are less likely to be left behind at a site.

Features

• 7075-T6 anodized aluminum: aircraft-grade alloy chosen for high strength and rigidity at ultralight weight
• TriPoint cross-section: wide front face resists rotation and maximizes grip in varied ground conditions
• Multiple notches: allow guy cord attachment closer to the ground for lower, more secure anchoring
• Reflective pull-cords: aid extraction and improve peg visibility in low-light conditions
• 15cm length, 7g per peg: compact and ultralight for backpacking and lightweight camping

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Ground Control Light Tent Pegs suit ultralight backpackers, thru-hikers, and camp travelers who need a reliable, low-weight peg for use with Sea to Summit Alto or Telos tents, tarps, or other lightweight shelters pitched in firm, packed, or mixed-terrain ground conditions.

This listing is for tent pegs only and does not include a tent, tent poles, tent fabric, or any shelter. The 6-pack provides six pegs; buyers who need more than six anchor points for a larger shelter or additional guy-line runs will need to purchase multiple packs.

Common Questions

What alloy are the Ground Control Light Tent Pegs made from?

The Ground Control Light Tent Pegs are made from 100% anodized 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, an aircraft-grade material chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio. The alloy is stronger and more rigid than the 6000-series aluminum used in many standard tent pegs, allowing a slim TriPoint profile without sacrificing durability under load.

How much does each peg weigh and how long is it?

Each Ground Control Light Tent Peg weighs 7g (0.25oz) and measures 15cm (5.75in) in length. The six-peg pack has a packed size of 4 × 4 × 15cm (2 × 2 × 6in), making the set compact enough to slip into a tent bag or pack pocket.

What is the TriPoint design and how does it improve holding power?

The TriPoint cross-section gives each Ground Control Light Tent Peg a wide front face that bites into the ground and resists rotation, and a short spine that increases rigidity along the peg's length. Together these features improve grip in varied terrain, including packed dirt, rocky soil, and mixed ground, compared to round or simple Y-beam profiles.

What do the multiple notches on the shaft do?

The notches on the Ground Control Light Tent Peg shaft allow a guy cord to be attached at a lower point on the peg rather than at the head. Attaching the cord closer to the ground reduces the leverage that wind load applies to the peg, which improves holding security particularly in firm or hard ground conditions.

Which Sea to Summit tents include these pegs as standard equipment?

The Ground Control Light Tent Pegs are standard equipment included with Sea to Summit Alto and Telos tent models. This listing is for the pegs sold separately, for buyers who want spares, replacements, or additional pegs for tarps or other ultralight shelters.

How many pegs are included in this listing?

This listing includes six Ground Control Light Tent Pegs, each with a reflective pull-cord. Buyers who need more than six anchor points for their shelter setup should purchase additional packs.
