Star pickets cut to about 300mm, cut to a point at one end with a hook welded on the other, are the way to go. Cheap, easy to make - I've been using them for years.

I've got a bag full of big black & little yellow sand pegs and another bag full of ropes and springs. Then there's all the poles and ridge poles but once setup it's quite nice to sit under. I've also just bought a heap of those 'glow guides' for the ropes so i'll test them out on the next trip. The black sand pegs even work well in hard ground but i wouldn't recommend doing it regularly:

Get the Supa peg ones you cant break em and get as big as you can its easier to dig them out than put up a fall down tarp/tent in the middle of the night

[MOPAR or NO CAR]

make your own out of star pickets as said before or angle-iron with a peg welded on top.

Jeeps,
Were you expecting a cyclone that night?
Could a pulled the pasha bulka out to sea with that amount of rope and pegs!!

LOL, nah mate that's just my gear that's kept in the trailor. It was mostly set up for use at the beach and it's so good, never comes down, so i use it everywhere we go. They're all black Supapegs, checkout the one on the far right, it's a 60cm on hammered in half way. I'd have gone the star picket route but that was too much work for me and they're much heavier to cart around ;)

I tell ya what though, that spot in the above pic has sooo many bloody possums they were everywhere! They were clambering all over the ropes and tarp and when i was making a cuppa later on at the kitchen, one climbed up on the Drifta and sat there watching me make it :) i had to shoo them away like houseflies!
