Your Guide To Using Wire Pegs Stainless Steel Clothes Pegs There are many Australian brand who make 316 stainless steel pegs that provide a long lasting solution to plastic pegs that break, fade, crack and then get thrown out in a short amount of time. They are made from one continuous piece of stainless steel, and if taken care of they will last you a life time. There is an initial investment, but this will pay for itself over time, and can help stop waste going to landfill. "Love these pegs! Best ones I have ever used and I'm looking forward to not having to replace them." WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT GRADES OF PEGS? The grades refer to the quality of the stainless steel. •201 grade stainless steel - is for regular use. Use them; bring them inside when they're not in use. Take care of them and they will last you a lifetime •304 grade stainless steel - are for salty conditions and those who live near the beach. We still suggest you bring them inside when not in use so they last you a lifetime •316 grade stainless steel - marine grade, for people who leave right on the ocean or are subjected to extreme weather conditions on a regular basis What grade should I buy? For most people the 201 are perfectly fine if you use them and bring them back inside. A lot of people step up to the 304 grade so they don't have to worry about leaving them outside. IS THERE MORE THAN ONE STRENGTH OF STAINLESS STEEL AVAILABLE? Yes. Stainless Steel Clothes Pegs marked for Windy Conditions are made with a thicker grade stainless steel wire and have a stronger hold. They are made from 2mm wire instead of 1.7mm IS THERE MORE THAN ONE PHYSICAL SIZE OF PEG AVAILABLE? Yes. Our stainless steel large pegs are significantly larger than the regular size. Here you can see a photo of the regular size vs the large size. Use the large pegs for thick towels, doonas, heavy jumpers etc. CAN I LEAVE THEM OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME? Even if you don't live near the ocean there can still be streams of salty air inland, and as a result we do recommend that you bring your normal grade pegs inside after each use. If you get into the habit of bringing them in you should be fine and the occasional 'I forgot to get the washing in off the line'
incident will be fine. If you refer to leave them outside on the line then you are better to upgrade to the pegs for salty conditions just in case. WILL THE WIRE PEGS RUST? As per above, they shouldn't if you buy the right pegs for your conditions and don't leave them outside all the time. Those who live closer to the ocean, we recommend you buy the pegs for salty conditions and for those lucky enough to have the beach in their back yard, or to live on a houseboat then we have marine grade pegs made from 316 grade stainless steel. Stainless steel is not immune to rusting. If you leave them sitting in a bucket of water for weeks on end, they will cause you issues. Use them, bring them in and they will last you a lifetime. You can pass them down to your kids with your cast iron fry pans. "I purchased these pegs as a gift for my sister. She is very happy with them. I have the 316 grade peg as I live near the sea. They are great. Work well in windy conditions. No more rebuilding broken plastic pegs to try and reduce plastic waste!!! :) "
