Supa Peg Single Rope & Light Trace Spring

G'day Danielle,

Yep, they sure do.  This is the combo I have in my camp kit, so no issues.

G'day Lesley,

Yes, trace springs are an awesome addition to guy ropes in windy weather. As they take up some of the tension and movement it significantly reduces the chances of your ropes becoming loose.
Generally, though no tent is designed to withstand continued horrible weather.  If the weather is looking to be more than a short period of wind and rain, and rough conditions are settling in the best option is to pack up and head home.
If you have some time it might be worth listening to our podcast episode on Unexpected Wind & Rain when camping, which has loads of info and tips, you can find that HERE

G'day Mel,

Great question!  The classic wooden sliders were the staple on guy ropes when I was growing up, however, they're not around as much these days.
Having used both types the plastic ones would probably have the slight upper hand in situations like camping in winter with lots of rain around, and also I remember the wooden sliders smoothing off and having little friction polished sections after a time, so the guy rope would slip.  I think it's very much dependent on the circumstances though and how much you'll be using them.

G'day Dave,

For a 3 x 3m Gazebo we'd recommend the Single Rope & Marquee Trace Spring.
