Bunnings Heavy Duty Screw In Tent Pegs and Sand Pegs

If you’re searching for heavy duty screw-in tent pegs or sand pegs, chances are you’ve looked to Bunnings — and rightly so. Bunnings has long been a go-to for camping gear, hardware, and general outdoor supplies. But when it comes to purpose-built, drill-driven ground anchors designed for extreme performance, GroundGrabba offers something a little different.

While our products aren't currently available at Bunnings, GroundGrabba anchors are engineered specifically for tough outdoor environments. We’re not talking repurposed coach bolts or generic steel stakes — these are Australian-designed, carbon steel or glass-reinforced nylon anchors that screw deep into soil, sand, or hard-packed ground for superior hold.

Every GroundGrabba comes backed by our lifetime replacement warranty (on Pro series) or 12-month warranty (on Lite), and a 100% risk-free purchase policy — you have up to 12 months to return it if it’s not right for you. It’s the kind of peace of mind you won’t often find on the hardware store shelf.

So if you’re serious about anchoring — whether on the beach, in the bush, or at basecamp — take a look at what makes GroundGrabba the trusted name in drill-driven tent and shade anchors.

Pro Kits

A dependable all-rounder for general camping, this kit includes 4 x GroundGrabba Pro anchors and 4 x Closed Hooks. Designed for medium-duty use in firm ground types like clay or hard-packed soil, these 315mm carbon steel anchors screw in fast using a cordless drill and hold strong.

Pro I Kits

Step up your anchoring game with deeper reach. The Pro I Kit includes 4 x 465mm GroundGrabba Pro I anchors and 4 x Closed Hooks — ideal for looser ground or higher tension loads like gazebos, awnings, or medium structures. Great for when standard pegs just don’t cut it.

Pro II Kits

Built for serious grip and heavy-duty demands, this kit includes 4 x 615mm GroundGrabba Pro II anchors with hooks. Whether you’re braving coastal winds or setting up large shade structures, these long shafted anchors offer maximum ground bite for ultimate holding power.

Closed Hook

Wind on to any GroundGrabba anchor shaft to create a secure loop for guy ropes or straps. Made from powder-coated steel, Closed Hooks provide fast, reliable attachment and are easily removed when packing up.

Multi L Bracket

For rigid mounting needs, the Multi L Bracket provides solid structural anchoring to your GroundGrabba. Great for awning poles, fence posts, or temporary structures where fixed alignment is critical.

Looking Beyond Bunnings? Try GroundGrabba for True Performance

When it comes to buying camping gear in Australia, Bunnings is often the first stop. They’ve got a range of tent pegs and general-purpose outdoor gear that gets the job done for many weekenders. But if you’ve been searching Bunnings for heavy duty screw-in tent pegs or sand pegs designed specifically for tough terrain and extreme conditions, you may have noticed something missing—GroundGrabba.

At GroundGrabba, we specialise in drill-driven screw-in ground anchors that are engineered from the ground up for performance, not just adapted from other hardware. Our range isn’t currently available at Bunnings, but what we offer is a purpose-built solution with true holding power—tested in Australia’s toughest conditions.

Whether you’re camping on red dirt, coastal sand, or rocky inland soil, our GroundGrabba Pro, Pro I, and Pro II kits deliver secure anchoring that traditional hammer-in pegs can’t match. These carbon steel anchors are galvanised for rust resistance and designed to be driven deep into the ground using a cordless drill. With proper technique and optional pilot holes, they’ll outperform and outlast most other pegs—especially in difficult substrates.

We also offer specialist accessories like Closed Hooks for guy ropes, Multi L Brackets for structural tie-downs, and masonry drill bits for pilot hole preparation in compacted or rocky soil. Every Pro Series product is backed by a lifetime replacement warranty. Our nylon GroundGrabba Lite is a favourite for sand and soft soil, and even it comes with a 12-month manufacturer’s defect warranty.

We understand that buying online can be daunting, especially when you can’t touch and feel the product before purchase. That’s why we offer a 100% risk-free guarantee—try our products for up to 12 months and if they don’t perform, return them.

Bunnings may have the basics, but if you want gear that’s been designed, tested, and trusted by serious campers, 4WD tourers, and event crews across Australia, GroundGrabba stands a class above.

 

Bunnings for Tent Pegs

If you're in the market for tent pegs, Bunnings has a decent range to choose from. But if you're looking for specific screw-in tent pegs or sand pegs then you may want to consider GroundGrabbas which currently are not to be found at Bunnings.

GroundGrabba have five types all made specifically for purpose. These are not just adaptations of wood screws like some on the market. Although Bunnings have some heavy duty hammer in tent pegs, you will find that these old hammer-in varieties have been overtaken by the drill driven variety. These drill-in, screw-in tent pegs have taken the camping and outdoor industry by storm.

GroundGrabba make three heavy duty steel drill driven earth ground anchor screw-in tent pegs, one screw-in tent peg and one light weight in special blend nylon.

Bunnings also do not currently sell our range of commercial augur designed ground anchors. Click here to view our commercial range.

review of drill in tent pegs versus the old hammer in ones.... see and extract of the article here.

Both GroundGrabba Pro, Pro I and Pro II are made from 1008 carbon steel that has been hot dipped galvanised. We have no hesitation in calling them heavy duty because they are.

We also have a light weight recreational grade glass reinforced nylon GroundGrabba Lite, perfect for loose soft grounds and the beach.
