Questions parents ask
how many colours do you need for a winning peg in croquet
You need all eight, four first colours and four second colours. This peg has red, blue, black and yellow plus green, brown, pink and white, covering a full two-sided game.
what size is a croquet winning peg
This one measures 70.5cm long and 4cm in diameter at its widest point, including the gold top. That is roughly 27 and three quarter inches long by one and a half inches across.
why is my croquet peg loose in the ground
A slightly loose fit is a known quirk of this peg and is easily solved by wrapping a bit of tape around the base before pushing it in. It does not affect play once secured.
what age is croquet suitable for
This peg is listed for adults. Croquet itself suits a wide range of ages, but the peg and set are built and sized for grown-up play.
is this peg just for scoring or does it hold the game together
The winning peg marks the finish point and is struck to complete each ball's course round the hoops. It is a fixed reference point for the whole game, not just a marker.
what colours come first in croquet and does it matter which peg i buy
Red, blue, black and yellow are the first colours, played before green, brown, pink and white. Buying an eight colour peg like this one means you are set up for both halves of a full game from the start.
is a croquet peg a good gift for a child
Yes, its bright colours and solid craftsmanship make it a popular gift for children to enjoy, even though the wider set is built to adult specifications. It brings a bit of garden fun that lasts.
what makes a jaques croquet peg different from a cheap plastic one
Jaques has made croquet equipment since 1795, and this peg is built with proper weight and finish rather than a lightweight moulded copy. It is made to be knocked, struck and left out season after season.
