Want more info on our pegs? A kindred spirit: someone who cares about pegs as much as we do! FAQs below: Why are stainless steel pegs the best option? We believe pegs belong on washing lines, not in oceans or landfill. Plastic pegs can’t be recycled and leave behind microplastic pollution, which ends in our oceans, waterways and soil. Wooden pegs also aren’t a great option. They’re not durable, prone to mould, and it can be hard to tell if they have been sourced sustainably. Enter Best Pegs… designed to last, and last, and last, in Australian conditions, without harming the environment. Your pegs will burn me under the sun… Nope. This one is a common misconception, but our pegs don’t heat up. They stay the same temperature, even in Australian-summer-can’t-walk-on-the-sand-hot. Are these pegs Marine Grade? No. They are made from 304 grade stainless steel. They’re still good quality but they don’t have the same rust resistance as our 316 grade stainless steel pegs. If you bring your pegs in after use and don’t live coastal they should suit you fine. If you’d prefer 316 marine grade pegs, check them out our selection by clicking here. Is 304 a good grade of stainless steel? 304 grade is still a quality grade of stainless steel; however, if you live in a coastal area where your pegs will be exposed to salty air on the clothesline, then our 316 marine grade stainless steel pegs are a better option. What is the difference between 304 and 316 marine grade stainless steel? The key difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel that makes them different is the addition of molybdenum, an alloy that drastically enhances corrosion resistance, especially for more saline or chloride-exposed environments. 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, but 304 does not. Check out our blog post for more information. Best Pegs are the only pegs that are independently tested to confirm the grade of stainless steel. How many stainless steel pegs do I need? That really depends if you live in a Von-Trapp style family situation or you are a single person who wears the same shirt every day. But whatever you need, we have available, Best Pegs come in pack sizes of 20- 100 so we have you covered! I’d like some good karma thanks… Then buy Best Pegs. You’ll be getting a premium, quality product, knowing you’re not contributing to the microplastic problem, all while supporting our amazing friends at AUSMAP, who are working to map the microplastic problem in Australia.
