I prefer to use a rubber mallet to drive in my pegs. My pegs still look like new after years of use, if I hit a guy rope or the edge of the tent it doesn't cause any damage and it hurts a lot less if you hit a finger. I have never come across a situation where I couldn't bash the pegs in even in hard ground.
Thanks for your feedback, Paul, rubber mallets are certainly more forgiving, I must have been using the wrong type in the past as there were some situations where I didn't feel like a rubber mallet was doing anything. ~ Ben
Great instruction. Were those awning poles extended to their full height? In other words, does it make a "flat" awning roof, level with the front of the tent? Would it not make sense to have a higher awning front so that the whole thing slopes back along with the tent roofline, allowing water to run off? I know you get a peaked awning kit with longer poles for the middle holes, but is it possible to just insert one set of taller poles into the front of the awning, rather than making a peak in the middle? Hope this question makes sense.
It does make sense @the_katman. Theres no reason why you couldn't make the awning pitch higher at the front, although I dont think Ive eve see anyone set up like that. The only thing I can think of is wether or not it would make it more susceptible to wind? ~ Lauren
Excellent instructional, this guy is always clear and to the point, well done
Glad it was helpful!

@@SnowysOutdoors Thanks. That's a good point. It probably would catch a fair bit more wind that way.
Can you please do a video on the Darche Ridge dome
