Peg Pole vs 1 Inch Pole : What’s the Difference?
Trying to figure out what style of pole you should install? Many customers ask what the difference is between a 1 Inch Pole and a Peg Pole. We will break it down for you!
First things first
First and foremost, no matter which pole style you chose, you are receiving the strongest poles in the industry. Any selection you make will be the perfect choice.
Hole Size
The biggest difference in determining which pole to install, is the hole size you will have in your deck. The Peg Pole fence will leave a dime size hole and a 1 Inch Pole with leave a quarter size hole in your deck. Both poles come with a deck plug to plug the hole whenever the fence is taken down.
Pole Core
1 Inch Ultra Poles have a “Twin-I Beam” reinforced extrusion core. This core reinforcement runs from the top of the pole, all the way to the bottom of the pole to minimize flex.
Peg Poles have an injection molded ABS bushing that runs from the base of the pole, 16 inches up (the most of any peg pole on the market!), to offer solid strength where it’s needed most. The 4 Inch long by 1/2 Inch Stainless Steel Peg extends out from the bottom of the pole and will go fully into the deck when installed.
Pole Strength
All-Safe 1 Inch & Peg Poles are the #1 rated (1 Inch) and #2 rated (Peg Pole) Fence Poles in the Pool Fence industry. Aircraft grade aluminum and unique reinforcement styles not only far exceed the ASTM Standard for pole strength, they are not even in the same league as the cheap (and sometimes plastic) poles you find on Amazon listed products. With minimal strength differences, 11% between these two top poles, you are making the smartest decision in Pool Fences Poles, no matter which style you choose.
