Metal pegs are great pegs to use in the heat because they stay cool to the touch and they won't crack and perish from the temperature like plastic pegs will.

There are different grades of stainless steel used to make our stainless steel clothes pegs. Whether they rust depends on what grade you buy and how you treat them. 201 grade stainless steel pegs are for regular conditions and should be brought inside in between uses. They are significantly cheaper and should be fine for most people. 304 grade stainless steel clothes pegs are for people living near salty conditions and can probably be left outside in between uses, but we still recommend you bring them inside. 316 grade is marine grade stainless steel and are for extreme weather. Our Pincinox Pegs are by far the best quality. Made in France, they are industrial grade stainless steel and they have been rust tested by staying completely immersed in salty water for 3 months.
