📐 Fitting steps

Frequently Asked Questions
What height should coat pegs be for children?
About shoulder height for the child using them - so they can hang and retrieve coats easily. Usually 80-100cm for toddlers, 100-120cm for primary age. Can be positioned to grow with them.
How many pegs do we need?
One per child as minimum, plus spares for bags, hats, etc. Kids accumulate stuff - more pegs than you think is better.
Will the pegs hold heavy coats?
Properly fitted pegs into wall studs or with correct fixings hold plenty of weight. Kids' coats aren't usually that heavy anyway.
What about the existing adult-height coat rack?
Keep it - you'll use both. Kids pegs are additional, not replacement. Low ones for children, high ones for parents and visitors.
