First world issue:
A year after buying Reva Super Holds, even they're snapping.
Wooden pegs seem to leave marks, or retain moisture and rust the spring quicker.
I do however use pegs like in this image: - line goes through topmost hole and peg holds clothes rather than clamping them against the line like this:. I do this as the actual line gets dirty when not used and transfers visible marks to whites, plus I don't get the peg marks or folds, plus it's super quick bringing in clothes when rain hits - I can remove a full line in seconds by grabbing 5-10 garments at once and yanking downwards. But using this top hole isn't quick to initially put the peg on the line, so I leave them on the line constantly and UV kills them.
So that top hole must be there and not too big, otherwise the pegs and garments will glide along the line to the lowest point.
Any recommendations, or am I just too weird and have no hope?
Get some from ikea, mine are going strong even after 4 years.
