Effective Strategies, Tips and Tricks

Choose the right length: The length of the stake you need will depend on the soil conditions. For soft ground, a 6-inch stake will suffice, while hard ground may require a longer 8-inch or 10-inch stake.

Insert the stakes at an angle: Angling the stakes away from the tent will provide more stability and prevent them from being pulled out.

Use a rock or hammer: If the ground is particularly hard, use a rock or hammer to drive the stakes into the ground.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using too few stakes: Always use at least four stakes, one at each corner of the tent.

Not hammering the stakes in far enough: The stakes should be hammered into the ground until they are about 3/4 of the way buried.

Not angling the stakes: Always angle the stakes away from the tent for maximum stability.
