Are stainless steel pegs good?

What a wonderful Christmas gift, these 80 pack pegs came in two canvas bags – one for me and one for my daughter! And she has just replaced her hills hoist (inherited when they bought their house) which had collapsed due to rust from the sea air. So marine grade pegs are just the thing, and how smart they look. Seems funny waxing lyrical over such a mundane article!!

Thank you for your tip on hanging sheets. I live in a high wind area so any additional tips for use would be appreciated. I am very happy with my pegs, definitely cool to touch on hot summer days. I would recommend to others. Love the way you showed size next to plastic peg that made my size choice easy.

I just wonder why these pegs were hiding in the wilderness for so long. I read of them in one of the weekend supplements. Wouldn’t be without them and my daughter is envious. Who would have thought that possible?
