304 grade are great pegs that will last longer in the face of constant weathering. Due to the peg's nickel content being twice as high as the normal 201 stainless steel pegs, they have a greater corrosion resistance. The lower carbon and manganese content also make them more durable and less prone to rust. Here's a guide to choosing the best grade of stainless steel peg for you:

Standard 201 grade stainless steel pegs: If you tend to bring your pegs inside or live far away from any salt, or want them for indoor use, you would be fine with the 201 grade. Not suitable for anywhere near the ocean / salty air.

304 medium grade - the current grade you are looking at: OK to leave on the line if you live no where near salt! If you have salty breeze, do not leave them on the line as they will be constantly hit by salty air. They may be ok outside if left in a bucket with holes in the bottom - that way the rain will wash the pegs, and, being inside the bucket they are sheltered from gathering salt from the wind. Alternatively, bring the pegs inside.

Marine 316 grade wire pegs: best choice if you live near the ocean and want to leave your pegs outside. They will never ever rust and are perfect for boats or coastal use.

A slightly stronger peg that has more holding power for extra windy conditions is also available. Find the Findy the 'Windy' metal pegs here in all three grades >
