Leaving pegs on washing line?

[ThisQuirkyPeachHare]

I've always left my pegs on the washing line... All year round.
I saw a peg bag in the shop and now I'm wondering... Should I bring my pegs in each day with the washing? AIBU to leave them out all the time?🤣
Do you bring yours in? Why? 🤷‍♀️🤣

I’ve always brought mine in…they get rusty and dirty and covered in spiders webs if I leave them out..

I always bring them in they don't weather well.

I bring mine in as spiders set up home in them if I don't. 🕷️
I have a peg bag with a long strap and sling it on cross body, nice quick and easy.

We always left them out. But they do get rusty!

I bring them in and hang the bag on a coat peg. Spiders and other things might live in there otherwise and they tend to go brittle if left outside and the spring goes rusty so they break.

I bring mine in but they're wooden so discolour to mouldy grey if left outside. I never bring in or cover the rotary washing line though; even in the winter.

I used to live in a shared house by the sea and the pegs there were left out and the metal bits went rusty.

I have metal ones amd they live on the line. Life is too short to bring them in. My mum has a bag for her wooden ones though.

If I leave mine out the whole line becomes one giant spiders web 🤦‍♀️

I like to live on the edge, I leave them on the line🤣

In fairness I’d end up dropping them, losing them, or using them to close bags of pasta if I brought them in

I bring them in because I collapse my line and put its cover on

We have retractable washing lines so pegs live in a bag in the house.

We use metal pegs like this and they don't go rusty left out.
The wooden ones have gone manky and the plastic ones brittle.

I keep ours in a plastic box, otherwise they go brittle and snap and I get hit in the eye with an angry peg

Most pegs have a bit of metal in them and I worry they'll get rusty in our damp climate. I just bring them in so they last longer.

Leaving them out looks messy, they get dirty and rust.
I have a shoulder bag for mine so it’s easy to peg put and put them back in the bag.

I have a retractable washing line so I have to bring them in, but even before that I always had a peg bag.

I bought aluminium pegs like Winter2020 shows.

It's the other household members who also leave pegs out - plastic get brittle and ping off in my eyes and wooden ones went slimy and rusty.

I have been bought "normal" pegs since by extended family I just got rid of them and stick with the aluminium pegs - they also do aluminium socks dryers.

They cost a bit more initially but have lasted well - and saves me having to worry about getting them in and storing them so they don't disappear.

If I leave mine out they get dirty and leave marks on my clean washing when I next peg it out. Just do whatever works best for you.

I leave mine out, though I am aware that I 'should' be bringing them in, and they won't last as long. I just invest £2/year in a new pack of pegs to replace the casualties, and buy wooden ones to reduce my guilt at plastic waste.

Looks like some of mine might be stainless steel as well as aluminium.

But had no problems with either and they've been out for a few years - in fact neighbour thought it such a good idea they also got metal pegs.

They'll go brittle and break if you leave them out

Mine are wooden so I don’t leave them out in case it rains and they rot. Also I have a retractable washing line that I put away when I’m not using it which I couldn’t do if there were pegs on it.

Also, if I didn't put my line away and covered the pigeons would just poo all over it

So many replies so quickly 😄
This year, I have noticed some of the pegs are brittle... But I've probably had them for years 🤷‍♀️ and there are cobwebs... But I've never noticed them on the clothes...
Might give bringing them in a go 🤷‍♀️ soon how long I can keep it up 😅
We have a whirly gig type line... I never fold it up and I don't even know where the cover is... Remembering to bring the washing in is something to celebrate on its own! 😜

It is common to leave your pegs out.
