Getting Started
• Bungee cords for flexible, wind-absorbing tension
• Screw pegs or steel stakes for ground anchoring
• Tarp clips for extra or replacement attachment points
• Trace springs to reduce wind stress and prevent tearing
As a general rule, the heavier your tarp, the more robust your anchoring should be — a Super Heavy Duty PVC 680GSM tarp in a marine environment needs far more securing than a Medium Duty PE 160GSM temporary cover.
Pro Tip: Combining two or more accessories always delivers better stability and longevity than relying on a single tie-down method.
| Tarp Rating | Material & GSM | Recommended Accessories |
|---|---|---|
| Medium Duty | PE 160GSM | Bungee cords, screw pegs |
| Heavy Duty | PE 220-260GSM | Bungee cords, screw pegs, tarp clips |
| Extra Heavy Duty | PE 320GSM | Steel stakes, tarp clips, trace springs |
| Super Heavy Duty | PVC 680GSM | Steel stakes, tarp clips, trace springs, bungee cords |
Then match your pegs to your ground type:
| Accessory | Best For | Ground Type |
|---|---|---|
| Ball Bungee Cords | Flexible tie-downs, bundling gear | Any |
| Screw Pegs (Plastic) | Soft ground anchoring | Sand, loose soil |
| Steel Stakes | Heavy-duty anchoring | Hard or rocky ground |
| Glow-in-the-Dark Screw Pegs | Night setups, soft ground | Sand, loose soil |
| Cricket Pegs | Sports field anchoring | Grass, soil |
| Tarp Clips | Extra or replacement anchor points | N/A |
| Trace Springs | Wind load control, large tarps | Any |
Pro Tip: Combining accessories ensures maximum stability and tarp longevity, even in strong wind.
Individual Accessories Explained
Bonus Tip: Bungee cords also work well for bundling and tying up tarps or equipment when not in use — keeping your gear neat and easy to store.
Pegs & Stakes
| Peg Type | Best Ground | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Screw Pegs (Plastic) | Sand, loose soil | Deep spiral grip, drill-compatible |
| Steel Stakes | Hard, rocky ground | Won't bend, maximum holding power |
| Glow-in-the-Dark Screw Pegs | Sand, soft soil | Visible at night, spiral grip |
Note: For heavier tarps (PE 320GSM and above), always prioritise steel stakes on hard ground — lighter plastic pegs may not provide enough holding power under load.
• Locate pegs quickly in low light
• Avoid trip hazards around your campsite
• Adjust or remove pegs after dark without a torch
Their spiral screw design also provides strong anchoring in sand and soft soil — making them a smart dual-purpose choice for camping, beach trips, and canopy setups.
Use Cases & Applications
• Camping tents & gazebos — PE 160-260GSM
• Boat covers & marine setups — PVC 680GSM
• Pool covers — PE 220-260GSM
• Trucks, trailers & commercial transport — RPE 275GSM
• Caravans & camper trailers — PE 320GSM
• Construction site covers — PE 320GSM or PVC 680GSM
• Outdoor events & markets — PE 160-260GSM
• Heavy-duty bungee cords to absorb load stress
• Steel stakes for firm anchoring in hard soil
• Trace springs for ongoing wind absorption
• Tarp clips for extra tie-down points where needed
This combination protects hay, crops, and equipment from weather damage while maximising tarp lifespan.
• Heavy-duty bungee cords to maintain tension across the load
• Tarp clips to create extra anchor points along the tarp edges
• Rope or ratchet straps through reinforced eyelets for maximum load security on the road
The RPE 275GSM's reinforced abrasion-resistant wear zones handle the friction of truck edges well — the right accessories keep it firmly in place and extend its working life further.
• Heavy-duty steel cricket pegs (350mm) for grass and firm soil
• Bungee cords for flexible tension during wind
• Tarp clips for quick extra anchor points
• Screw pegs if setting up on softer ground
Combining these keeps sports covers stable, wind-resistant, and easy to pack down quickly.
Weather & Wind
| Duty Rating | Material & GSM | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Medium Duty | PE 160GSM | Light use, temporary cover |
| Heavy Duty | PE 220-260GSM | General outdoor & camping |
| Truck Tarp | RPE 275GSM | Trucks, trailers & commercial transport |
| Extra Heavy Duty | PE 320GSM | Prolonged exposure, harsh conditions |
| Super Heavy Duty | PVC 680GSM | Industrial, marine & extreme weather |
Then follow this checklist for a wind-resistant setup:
• Anchor all corners firmly — steel stakes for hard ground, screw pegs for sand and soft soil
• Reinforce tie points — double-lash corners with rope or bungee cords
• Add tarp clips — create extra anchor points along edges
• Use trace springs — absorb gusts and reduce stress on the tarp fabric
• Keep tension even — uneven tension creates weak points
• Angle into the wind — slope the tarp so gusts slide over rather than underneath
• In extreme winds — remove the tarp entirely to prevent damage or injury
Pro Tip: Glow-in-the-Dark Screw Pegs + steel stakes + bungee cords + tarp clips + trace springs is the ultimate combination for safe, wind-resistant setups day or night.
