Swiss Piranha – Beach Anchor Set of 4 – 43g

Secure Anchoring in Sand!

The BA Sand Anchor from SwissPiranha is specifically designed to provide a stable hold in sandy ground, such as beaches or dunes.
Unlike traditional tent pegs, which often struggle to grip loose sand, this anchor ensures reliable stability in challenging conditions.

The sand anchor is made of a lightweight yet durable plastic (UV-stabilized), ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion. Its flat and wide design, with curved edges, allows it to dig deeper into the sand while providing a larger surface area, increasing its holding power.

Anchoring Principle

Surface Area Expansion: The broad and flat shape distributes pressure over a larger sand surface, preventing the anchor from sinking too easily and keeping it stable in the ground.

Angled Insertion: It is crucial that the anchor is not placed vertically but at a slight angle to the pulling force. The sand anchor should be inserted at a 30° to 45° angle to the ground. This way, the force applied to the anchor (e.g., from wind or tension on a tent) is better transferred to the sand.

Attachment: At the top of the sand anchor, there is an opening or hook for attaching ropes or tent lines.

Advantages Over Traditional Pegs

• Lightweight: Plastic anchors are significantly lighter than metal pegs, which is especially beneficial for camping.
• No Rusting: Made of plastic, they are resistant to corrosion from saltwater or moisture.
• Eco-Friendly: SwissPiranha focuses on sustainable materials and environmentally friendly production.
• Easy Handling: Their shape and low weight make them easy to transport and use.
