Made from strong, corrosion-resistant alloy, SMC Sheet-Aluminum Tent Stakes provide excellent holding power in soft ground or snow. The rolled lip holds the tent cord and provides a solid striking surface. The perforations in our Snow Stakes not only reduce weight but they also help allow the stakes to freeze in place, providing added holding power in soft snow. The light-weight of these stakes make them ideal for use in the backcountry or on mountaineering adventures.
