Toughstake Sand or Snow

When you're at the beach, you're there to have fun. Nothing puts a damper on said fun like discovering that your tent has blown half a mile down the beach while you and your friends were out enjoying the waves. The Toughstake will ensure that that doesn't happen. At up to 10x stronger than conventional stakes without any additional bulk, the Toughstake won't let your tent move until you're ready to go home.

Small Toughstake Guy Wire Installation

Anchoring the Toughstake™ in sand and snow is a simple process. First, the guy wire must be inserted properly into the Toughstake™. The swaged cyclinder on the guy wire is placed so it nests in the CONCAVE side of the stake. Next the Toughstake™ is inserted into the sand or snow. Normally when placing the stake in the ground, you have already laid out your tent or awning and have a good idea of the stake placement. Simple work the stake into the ground with your hand, or gently tap the stake into the media with a rubber mallet, piece of word, boot, etc. During this process, if the stake hits a barrier (like a stone or root), simply pull the stake out and try a different location. Toughstake™ is not designed to press through solid objects. It will bend before it can slice through a rock. During the process of setting the stake, the guy wire is continued to be pulled forming a straight line between the stake and your hand. Many times the stake will slightly move up when pulling on the line. If this occurs, simply tap the stake back into the sand, and reset the wire. For maximum efficiency, the stake should be at the top of the sand. Last, attach the ring of the guy wire to the guy line from your tent or awning. Toughstake™ is now set for maximum load capability. Remember, Toughstake™ is for sand and snow only.
