Best Pegs 316 stainless steel pegs are the only pegs independently tested for quality to ensure they’re genuine marine grade stainless steel. Below are some frequently asked questions about stainless steel pegs.
Are stainless steel pegs good?
We say yes! Plastic pegs often break apart, leading to microplastic pollution in our soil and waterways. Wooden pegs often break too, or they go mouldy and the spring gets rusty over time. Marine grade 316 stainless steel pegs offer durability and added corrosion resistance. They hold on in windy conditions yet they don’t leave marks on clothes.
Do 316 stainless steel pegs rust?
The grade of the stainless steel is important. 201 and 304 grades of stainless steel does not offer the same corrosion resistance as 316 marine grade stainless steel so it’s worth paying a little more for marine grade stainless steel pegs. Marine grade stainless steel pegs can be left outside on the clothesline. Remember that no matter the grade, all stainless steel needs to be maintained so we recommend washing your pegs every few months to remove any dirt or salty air deposits.
Do stainless steel pegs get hot?
This is a common concern but rest assured that Best Pegs stainless steel pegs do not get hot, even if left outside on the hottest Australian summer day they are not hot to touch.
How many stainless steel pegs do I need?
This depends on the number of people in your household and your preferences when hanging out laundry, as some people share pegs between items. Best Pegs are available in pack sizes of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 so we have you covered! Plus, we also offer mixed size packs of 50 or 100 pegs, check them out here!

All of my plastic pegs were starting to break so I bit the bullet and invested in some of these pegs. Great product and fast delivery. Thanks.
Laura –

Ruth Townson –
Im really happy with my new pegs. They are a great size and can manage tougher fabrics and towels easily. I was keen for the marine grade since we holiday at the beach each year for at least three weeks at a time. Ill pack these pegs and know they can withstand the salty air. Should have bought more!!
Shirley Broekhuizen –
Great quality pegs, so happy with the size! Much better than the smaller pegs, these actually hold large items in the strong Gold Coast wind. My partners mum is getting me onto buying her some too! Quick delivery and easy ordering process. Thanks Bestpegs!
Annemarie Schulz –
I love my bigger marine grade pegs. I have arthritis in my hand and; did purchase smaller pegs from a different supplier over a year ago. I am so glad I discovered Best Pegs, as they sell the bigger pegs which are much better and; easier to handle.
I also live on a farm on a peninsula so have fierce winds so need my pegs to hold well which they do.
I am so glad I purchased enough to replace all of my failing plastic pegs, a great decision and; fantastic product !!!!

Love the one piece construction, so easy to use. A little disappointed with their holding capacity. Having trouble with Queen size sheets holding in windy conditions even when clipping them higher as suggested
Marie –
We love these! Easy to squeeze but strong. We can’t wait to add more to our collection.

Very sturdy and strong marine grade pegs. Easy to grip. Very happy with my purchase and they arrived quickly. Nice to get emails when I ordered and postage information. I would recommend this seller and product.
Cheryl Moran –
Thrilled to bits with my pegs, I live by the beach and sick of the plastic pegs perishing
I plan on sharing them with my daughter maybe they could be part of her inheritance
Easy to use fit my peg holder perfectly!!!!
Sarah Bungey –
Just bought the colourful small pegs and really happy. Have the larger size too and learning which items are best hung with which peg. Larger pegs sometimes just need to be pegged higher up the line to hold an item that isnt so thick.
Sheila Thurlow –
Definitely five star quality. After a lifetime of buying plastic pegs that eventually fade and crack it is a joy to handle smooth, strong pegs that really do the job they were designed to do. I would also recommend the peg bag – very sturdy! A great design which enables the user to clip it onto the line with the straps at a convenient height enabling easy extraction of the pegs
Diana Howcroft –
Am a new owner, but love them and got a bag for my friend as the service was so prompt. As my other pegs fall apart I will be replacing them with Best Pegs

alison –
LOVE, LOVE ,LOVE my S.S. pegs! I live in a high-altitude, very windy country town, and I have finally found a peg that will keep my laundry on the line. I’ve bought both regular size and large size. The large are great for those heavier, thicker items. I’m sure I’ll peg-out before my clothes pegs do! 🙂
Kim –

Love my new 59mm pegs. I already own the larger size and although these are small they are of the highest quality and hold a reasonably heavy weight. The customer service I have received from Best Pegs is also above and beyond. I am a very happy customer!!!
Leanne Schleusener –
I love these pegs, a bit different to use at first but they hold well and I’m happy to be helping the environment, I’ve always brought quality pegs but these are the icing on the cake. Also happy shopping local!!
Thank you Leanne xx
Annette –
Delighted with my shiny strong S/S 76mm pegs which grip very well on my old Hills Hoist lines. They are not so easy to use on my indoor 2mm clothes line so I will continue to use my few remaining plastic pegs there for delicate items. My order was actioned promptly and delivery occurred within days. Congratulations, Meredith and your team!
Katrina Chase –
Very, very happy with my pegs. These were a Christmas present and they’re fantastic. They’re strong and perfect for all laundry from heavy bath sheets to the softest and lightest of materials. So happy with the gift, that I will probably buy more, as you can never have enough pegs!
Lyn –
Been using for a few weeks and really happy with them. Need to slightly turn them when pegging to line to stop washing slipping (takes no extra effort). Will be buying as presents for family members.
Tanya Swift –

Exactly what we needed.Great product and really efficient service.Will certainly be purchasing more.

Great pegs. I have a puppy which would eat plastic pegs if they broke and fell off the line. That could be disastrous! I feel puppy is safe with these stainless steel pegs that cant break apart and cant be chewed apart. One happy puppy owner!
Adrienne –
Great pegs!
Annemarie Schulz –
I just adore these bigger marine grade pegs. I am now buying them for my 3 daughters who are so unhappy with plastic pegs that keep breaking. They are into sustainable things like me so I am so glad I found Best Pegs because thats exactly what they are. They were delivered promptly and; I will certainly be purchasing more, I love them!
John –
I bought these pegs as a gift for a friend, who. when she received them threw out her plastic pegs and was thrilled with the feel and ease of use of her new ones. One happy friend one sold customer!!
Peter –
Good pegs, good gifts for friends with rubbish pegs or who can’t use wooden pegs without them falling apart, or for those moving into a new home. Postage using Australia Post was good first time around, but the second time – delayed to the point of starting the ‘where the heck are they’ process (and then they were fairly quickly delivered). Recommended (the pegs, not Aust. Post).
Rachael –
Fantastic product, very durable and I love the little bag
Leslie –
So pleased with the pegs, easy to use and; no more broken plastic pegs to contend with
Fiona –
I’ve had my stainless pegs for over 12 months; they are left outside all the time. They are still as good as new.
Ryan –
Great quality product and better for the environment. Highly recommended
Lisa –
Not as chunky as other brands so am pleased with the design, easy to use, I love them! Bye-bye plastic.
Bec Symes –
Amazing pegs. I wish I found these earlier, the cheap and; nasty pegs I was using before just constantly breaking. Love the cute little bag they come in as well.
Thank you Meredith xx
Gary –
Top quality and a great size should have had these years ago 316 stainless steel can’t go wrong.
Finished product perfect and they are as big as normal pegs so easy to grip and open etc.
Peter Botefuhr. –
Great pegs after some research established the pegs are 316 stainless steel.
Speedy delivery, more than happy with the purchase of these pegs, no more having a basket of breaking plastic pegs.
Danielle –
I’m honestly in love with these pegs? Something I didn’t think I’d say ever, but here we are. They are super easy to use, very strong and the biggest plus – not plastic! I’m definitely about to buy some more so I can avoid using plastic ones ever again.
Tanya Swift –
