Anchorage pegs

[Yorky1]

Can anyone suggest an effective way of anchoring a rotary clothes dryer with a cover? It blows away when the wind gets underneath it. At present there is a guy-rope on each arm attached to a peg (a hook-headed smooth metal rod) which are pushed in to the lawn.

When first affixed the pegs are secure but become loose and unsecured after a while.

Would ribbed metal rods make much difference or can you suggest another method?

Thanks in advance.

Try the camping shop for some decent tent pegs.

I'm using rebar pegs at the moment - smooth-sided ones. The builders' merchant bent the ends to hook the guy-ropes on to. Is is possible to spiral them ( similar to a corkscrew) ?

Or would ribbed ones be more effective

Plastic spiral tent pegs, ideal for moist ground, like most of Ireland.
