Tent Accessories

The kit that makes your camp

A tent is only as good as its set-up: accessories keep it standing and extend its life. Pegs suited to the ground, guylines to resist the wind, a groundsheet to protect the floor, a repair kit for the unexpected - these small, lightweight bits and pieces are essential for a successful night under canvas. Forget them, and you risk a damp night or a tent that takes flight.

Pegs for the terrain, guylines and fixings

Your choice of pegs depends on the ground: thin and light for soil, wide for sand, sturdy for rocky mountain terrain. Well-tensioned guylines stabilise the tent against the wind and stop the flysheet touching the inner (a common cause of condensation). It's always wise to carry a few spare pegs.

Protection and upkeep

A groundsheet (footprint) slipped under the tent protects the floor from abrasion and damp, extending its lifespan. A repair kit (patches, tape, pole repair) can save the night if something tears or breaks. A cloth for mopping up condensation rounds off the kit, working hand in hand with your camping tent.

Don't forget a thing

Lightweight and easy to pack away, this kit quickly proves essential, in summer and the shoulder seasons alike. Find everything a camper needs among our hiking and trekking accessories.
