Superlite Titanium Tent Pegs (155mm x 3mm, 6g each)


Classic Shepherd's Crook Superlite Titanium Tent Pegs (available in packs of 5, 6 or 10)
​
Titanium Tent Pegs (or more accurately Titanium Alloy Gr5 tent pegs), have major advantages over other metal tent pegs. Being so much stronger than steel, these titanium alloy tent pegs can be made physically much smaller while still maintaining a high tensile strength. Not only does the titanium alloy make for a strong tent peg, but the smaller physical dimensions also provide a tent peg that is extremely lightweight and indeed on par with lighter aluminium tent pegs. Also, unlike steel tent pegs, titanium alloy tent pegs are extremely corrosion resistant.

​So we have tent pegs with the following properties:
  • High Tensile Strength
  • Extremely Lightweight
  • Corrosion Resistant
Just to put things into perspective, two of these tent pegs weigh only the same as a £2 coin. And whilst you can get Ultralite Titanium Tent Pegs that weigh a mere 2g each (or even 1g), in our experience the weight saving that these lighter tent pegs offer is to the severe detriment of their effectiveness in holding in the ground, and hence their usability suffers significantly. There are always compromises, but we strongly feel that our 6g Classic Shepherd's Crook Superlite Titanium Tent Pegs offer the best all round performance. 

Titanium Alloy Grade 5 (Gr5) Grade 5, also known as Ti6Al4V, Ti-6Al-4V or Ti 6-4, is the most commonly used alloy. It has a chemical composition of 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (maximum) iron, 0.2% (maximum) oxygen, and the remainder titanium.[5] It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties (excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti).[6] Among its many advantages, it is heat treatable. This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability.
