Frequently Asked Questions

At The Pegman, we provide high quality hardwood pegs available in a variety of sizes (Custom Also Available). Surveyors can write data on a peg’s markings and readily find or designate the area. These pegs are easy to install and feature pointed tips. Here are some of the most common types of survey pegs:

White Indicator Surveyors Pegs
  • On construction projects, these are the most popular hardwood survey pegs. They they are commonly white to be easy to see, although more colour options are usually available.

Boundary Surveyors Pegs
Residential Surveying Pegs
  • These are used to pinpoint a residential estate’s exact location. These are normally white and available in a variety of lengths.
  • At The Pegman, all of our pegs and stakes are made from from high quality Australian hardwood so they are long lasting.

The survey pegs that we supply are made out of certified natural Australian hardwood for a durable finish. They also have a white paint finish that makes them easier to see. Some other manufacturers may provide plastic and sometimes metal pegs, but we believe that wood offers a higher quality finish while being more environmentally friendly and cost-effective. We also have steel cap pegs available for when additional strength is needed, using a recessed steel band approximately 10mm from the top.

Steel cap pegs are hardwood pegs that also have a recessed steel band at the top for increased durability. They are longer lasting than hardwood pegs and offer extra support for formwork. This means that they are more commonly used by concreters whereas hardwood pegs are typically used for applications that do not require extra strength, such as landscaping and surveying.

We don’t just stock pegs here at The Pegman. We also stock other essential surveying supplies such as bright flagging tape, Dy-mark spray paint and markers, and Marzuen markers that can be used to distinguish surveying pegs or for a number of other applications. For identifying boundaries for fencing, we also stock string line. We supply a range of nails, spikes and mickey pins too, making us a one-stop shop for all your surveying and landscaping needs!

When in the ground, our hardwood pegs can last for up to 25 years depending on the conditions and their size. Steel cap pegs may be able to last even longer and are more likely to be suitable for repeated use. This is because we use certified natural hardwood that has been sourced from suppliers in the Queensland and NSW area, so it is well suited for the climate and is the highest possible quality, all while remaining far more environmentally friendly than plastic pegs.

We stock a variety of peg sizes suitable for many applications. Visit the page of the type of peg you are looking for to view the range of dimensions we offer. Or, alternatively, we do take requests for custom-cut pegs of dimensions that you require if our standard dimensions do not fit your application. Just get in contact and we will be happy to give you a quote.

We produce a variety of stakes that can be used for propagating, planting and transplanting small plants or saplings. They can be essential for providing the support that a plant needs to thrive, no matter its size or shape. Pot stakes are suitable for greenhouses and nurseries while tomato stakes are specifically for large tomato plants. We also make larger tree support stakes. If the size of stake you need isn’t listed on our site, get in touch to request a custom stake.

Survey pegs, a familiar sight in construction, property development and real estate, are small markers made from a variety of materials, such as wood or metal. They serve an essential role in surveying, which involves measuring and mapping the environment using mathematics, specialised technology and equipment.

In simpler terms, survey pegs act like ‘bookmarks’ on the ground, indicating specific locations and boundaries on a property. They provide a precise reference to where construction should occur or where the land boundaries lie. Their use is fundamental in:

  • Marking the corners of a plot of land during the initial stages of building.
  • Outlining boundaries for land subdivision.
  • Delineating the areas of work for roadworks and other civil projects.
  • Providing markers during excavation or mining operations.

The Pegman stands as a leading provider of survey pegs, with several compelling reasons to make us your first choice:

  • Quality: Our pegs are all certified and sourced from natural hardwood from reliable suppliers in Queensland and NSW. They are designed to withstand the test of time and the elements.
  • Visibility: We understand the need for clear visibility in various working conditions. Hence, our survey pegs are white all around, making them easily spotted even from a considerable distance.
  • Service Excellence: Our customer service is second to none. We ensure that each order is handled promptly, and our customers’ needs are always prioritised.

At The Pegman, we stand behind our product quality. However, given the nature of survey pegs – they are consumable items that are subjected to external conditions which can vary greatly, therefore we do not offer a conventional manufacturer’s warranty. Rest assured, our pegs are designed to last and our track record speaks for itself. If you have any concerns or queries about our products, our team is always ready to assist you.

Survey pegs come in various colours, but the most common colour is white. White survey pegs, such as those provided by The Pegman, offer high visibility, making them easily distinguishable from their surroundings. This visibility is critical in fields, construction sites and other areas where they need to stand out clearly.

Survey pegs’ colours are not arbitrary. They usually follow a coding system that helps differentiate between various types of survey work. While the specifics may vary from place to place, some standard conventions include:

  • White: Typically used for general surveying and boundary marking.
  • Red: Often used to mark electricity or power-related sites.
  • Blue: Commonly used for marking water-related sites.
  • Yellow: Generally used for gas, oil or chemical sites.

It’s important to note that the above conventions may differ depending on local regulations and practices. Therefore, it’s always best to check with your local surveying authority or a professional surveyor to interpret the colour codes accurately.
