Peg Hangers
A peg is an object that is cylindrical in shape, used for the purpose of holding things together, marking a position or hanging things on. Pegs find use in a variety of purposes around the house and in outdoor activities. Pegs may be made of materials such as wood, metal, plastic, etc. When a peg is used for the sole purpose of hanging up various items, it is called a peg hanger.
Clothespin Peg Hangers
Clothespins have been used in civilized society for many centuries now. Their use is pretty common: to hang up clothes on a line. Although dryers take care of wet clothes in most apartment buildings and homes now, people still do have clothes lines to hang up their laundry. Clothespin peg hangers are of immense use for this.
Plastic is the preferred material for clothespins, since they are lightweight and easy to store. However, some people prefer to use wood, stainless steel and other such durable materials for clothespin pegs. A variation over the traditional clothespin is a type of device that allows multiple clothing like handkerchiefs, small towels or under wear to be hung up with ease. Such a peg hanger comes with several clothespins in a row or a circle attached to one main hanger. This is particularly useful when there are space constraints.
Wall Peg Hangers
Several items around the house may be hung on walls or behind doors. Let’s take a look at some of the uses of wall peg hangers.
