Does anyone know why the position of the pitch peg has been changed? (Is it on all sites?) I don’t really want to look out onto my car from my awning and would much prefer it was behind my caravan with the caravan in the middle of the pitch. It also means the grassed area to the side of the pitch remains unused or a s that the intention?

Posted on 17/08/2021 20:58 by davetommoThat is correct as tanalizing is a treatment but not a fire proofing. I wouldn’t dream of trying to burn it.

But as we are posting about keeping fire breaks on sites the picture show. is possibly the site staff accommodation which is with the tanalised wood fencing far more fire safe than it seems what has happened on camp sites as I have not heard of one fire in any club site staff outfits

what happens on an affiliate site that doesn’t use pegs?
Do CC members carry their own pegs to use on the rented CC pitches?

What happens on other sites and how they space out their units is really up to the site's owners and what they, and I assume their insurers, think is best to stop the spread of fire.
The club has decided to follow various fire services or local authority advice/guidance/legal requirements of 6m and 3m and uses a peg to ensure it is adhered to. That is the simple reason for the pegs, nothing more
Poster can and do question these 'rules' and/or how outdated they are but at the end of the day it is what the club uses so if you want to stop on a club you have to put up with a peg. Personally I don't think on site many people care?
If one finds the peg system too rigorous or onerous then there are plenty of other sites out there, but probably many/some of them will have the same spacing but done by a different system than a peg. I don't know but some might let you pitch as close as one wishes?
Perhaps other can post about what they have found?

Maybe you are? but then I must have been really carefull in my 52years of LV ownership as so far I have not had any fires either , or have seen one only the evidence of what damage can. be done to other LVs even at the fire break distances used by this club
