DAC J-Stakes

Size S This is the stake that comes standard with all our lightweight tents besides the NFT. It's a durable, anodized aluminum stake from DAC, the maker of our tent poles. Includes a hole for installing a pull loop (our Dyneema guyline works great for this). The small size provides a decent balance between weight and holding power and work well in a variety of ground types, but they're best in medium to firm ground. If you want something a little bigger, check out the size M stakes. For even better holding power in soft ground, try the size L stakes. For sand and snow or anchoring our domes, we recommend the size T stakes. Length 6.3" (160mm) Weight 0.38oz (10.7g) Size M This is the next size up from our standard stake. It comes standard with the NFT. It's a durable, anodized aluminum stake from DAC, the maker of our tent poles. Includes a hole for installing a pull loop (our Dyneema guyline works great for this). The medium size provides additional holding power compared to the small size for looser ground, while still keeping weight low. For even better holding power in soft ground, try the size L stakes. For sand and snow, we recommend the size T stakes. Length 8" (200mm) Weight 0.56oz (16g) Size L This is DAC's largest tent stake for anything smaller than domes. It's the same length as the size M, but wider for additional holding power. It's a durable, orange-anodized aluminum stake from DAC, the maker of our tent poles. Includes a hole for threading a pull loop (our Dyneema guyline works great for this). The large size provides excellent holding power in many conditions, including loose, dry ground and firm, consolidated snow. Also works great as a dead man anchor in snow. For sand and unconsolidated snow, we recommend the size T stakes. Length 8" (200mm) Weight 0.71oz (20g) Size T This is the big mama of tent stakes. We don't know what "T" stands for, but we do know these are the stakes you want if you want serious holding power for big tents in any conditions. It's a durable, clear-anodized aluminum stake from DAC, the maker of our tent poles. At whopping 12", this is DAC's largest tent stake. Includes a hole for installing a pull loop (our Dyneema guyline works great for this). We include these with our Arctic 6 tents and we recommend them for all our big domes. These stakes are serious business! This size is what you want for anchoring domes in most conditions, for slaying vampires, and for smaller tents in sand or snow. In unconsolidated snow, it's best to use these horizontally as deadman anchors. Length 12" (300mm) Weight 2.26oz (64g)
