FAQs

Can these pegs be used outdoors?

While durable, they are designed for interior use. If used outdoors, they must be fully sealed with an exterior-grade wood preservative or marine varnish.

What is the diameter of the tenon?

Please measure the tenon upon receipt to match your drill bit, but they generally conform to standard 1/2 inch or 3/8 inch sizing typical for Shaker furniture.

Are mounting screws included?

No, these are traditional wood-tenon pegs intended for insertion into pre-drilled holes in wood.

Can I use these for heavy winter coats?

Yes, when properly installed into a solid wood base using wood glue, they are more than capable of supporting heavy winter garments.

Do I need to sand them before painting?

Yes, a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will help your paint or stain adhere more evenly to the wood surface.

What type of wood are these made from?

The pegs are crafted from high-quality, dense timber suitable for turning and finishing, designed specifically for furniture applications.

Troubleshooting

Peg feels loose in the mounting hole

Apply a high-quality wood glue to the tenon and allow it to cure for 24 hours. If the hole is significantly too large, wrap a small piece of wood veneer or shim around the tenon before gluing.

Peg is difficult to insert

Ensure the pilot hole is the correct diameter. If necessary, gently sand the tenon of the peg until it fits snugly.

Finish looks uneven after painting

Apply a wood primer before painting and lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper after the first coat has dried.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable wood construction
  • Classic design fits various interior styles
  • Highly customizable (paint, stain, or wax)
  • Secure mounting provides reliable weight capacity
  • Includes 10 pegs for cost-effective project planning

Cons

  • Requires drilling and mounting hardware
  • Not suitable for adhesive-only mounting
  • Requires finishing (sanding/sealing) if not left natural

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, mark your desired locations on your mounting surface and drill holes consistent with the diameter of the peg's tenon. Apply a small amount of wood glue to the tenon before inserting it into the hole to ensure a permanent, secure fit. If installing into masonry, wall anchors or a wooden batten are required first. To maintain the pegs, wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. If you have chosen to paint or varnish the pegs, use a light grit sandpaper between coats to ensure a smooth finish. Ensure they are fully sealed if used in high-humidity areas like bathrooms to prevent moisture absorption.
