The tent peg is further provided with means to resist its pulling off the ground. These means include teeth on the body and the fact that in one embodiment of the peg, the body has a V-shape cross-section tapering towards its ground-engaging pointed end, whereby trapping earth, which resists pulling. The peg is provided with means for attaching tent cords, tent metal eyelets to further maintain the tent in erected position.
