I got by fine last year with the hardened steel knock in ones and a mallet to bang them in. Most of the site is quite sheltered too so with luck there shouldn't be too much of a 'wind tugging' problem [-o<

Not sure how easy it would be to use the screw in (doggie stake is what I have) type :roll:

On previous visits to Hill Of Oaks we have found that these have done the job nicely. Jamie tends to use a lump hammer rather than the rubber mallet though :wink:

I use these on most sites~i knock em in with a claw hammer which i've widened (the claw bit) with an angle grinder then you can pull em out as well.
