U-Shaped Ground Nail
A U-shaped ground nail, also commonly referred to as a tent peg, is a fastener used to secure objects to the ground, most frequently tents, tarps, and landscaping fabric.
Material
U-shaped ground nails are manufactured from a variety of materials, each offering different strengths and applications:
- Steel: Provides high strength and durability, suitable for hard or rocky ground. Can be prone to corrosion if not coated.
- Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for general camping and softer ground. Less strong than steel.
- Titanium: Offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior corrosion resistance. Most expensive option.
- Plastic: Lightweight and inexpensive, best suited for soft ground and temporary use. Less durable than metal options.
Purpose
The primary purpose of a U-shaped ground nail is to provide anchoring stability. They resist pull-out forces, preventing movement or displacement of the secured item due to wind, rain, or other external factors.
Function
The "U" shape of the nail provides resistance to bending and pull-out. The two prongs are driven into the ground at an angle, creating a secure hold. The curved section remains exposed, allowing for attachment of ropes, cords, or straps. The angle of insertion and the depth to which the nail is driven significantly impact its holding power.
Usage Scenarios
- Camping: Securing tents, canopies, and tarps.
- Landscaping: Anchoring landscape fabric, weed barriers, and plastic edging.
- Gardening: Supporting plants, securing garden netting.
- Outdoor Events: Temporary structures, banners, and signage.
- Construction: Light duty anchoring for temporary materials.
Common Types
- Standard Steel U-Shaped Nails: Commonly used for general camping and landscaping. Available in various lengths and thicknesses.
- Aluminum U-Shaped Nails: Lighter weight option, suitable for softer ground conditions.
- Titanium U-Shaped Nails: Premium option for strength and corrosion resistance, often preferred by backpackers.
- Twisted/Spiral Nails: Feature a twisted or spiral design for enhanced holding power in looser soils.
- Shepherd's Crook Nails: Have a hooked end for easy removal and securing ropes.
- Sand/Snow Nails: Longer and wider designs for use in sandy or snowy environments. Often have a larger surface area to distribute the load.
The declared goods are u-shaped ground nails, typically used for securing items to the ground, such as tents, tarps, or landscaping features. They are made of iron or steel and function as anchoring devices.
The following HS codes are relevant based on the provided reference material:
-
7317006530: Nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, staples (other than those of heading 8305) and similar articles, of iron or steel, whether or not with heads of other material, but excluding such articles with heads of copper: Other: Of one piece construction: Other Cut. This code covers iron or steel nails and similar articles, and u-shaped ground nails could fall under this category if they are constructed from a single piece of material.
- 73: Iron or steel articles.
- 17: Nails, screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, bolts with nuts or screw caps, washers, etc.
- 006530: Specifically refers to other cut nails, tacks, drawing pins, etc. of iron or steel.
-
7317007500: Nails, tacks, drawing pins, corrugated nails, staples (other than those of heading 8305) and similar articles, of iron or steel, whether or not with heads of other material, but excluding such articles with heads of copper: Other: Of two or more pieces. If the u-shaped ground nail is assembled from multiple pieces, this code applies.
- 73: Iron or steel articles.
- 17: Nails, screws, bolts, nuts, screw hooks, bolts with nuts or screw caps, washers, etc.
- 007500: Specifically refers to nails, tacks, drawing pins, etc. of iron or steel constructed from two or more pieces.
-
7326908630: Other articles of iron or steel: Other: Other: Other Hangers and similar supports for tubes and pipes. While primarily for tubes and pipes, this code could potentially apply if the u-shaped ground nail is designed as a support structure.
- 73: Iron or steel articles.
- 26: Other articles of iron or steel.
- 90: Other articles.
- 8630: Specifically refers to hangers and similar supports.
