What gauge metal are they?

They are about 1/8 inch, Others say 11 gauge, (10 is about 1/8 inch) so pretty close. They will get rusty quick, but still work great, and grab well. If you till deep they won't hold in the tilled soil very well, (I till about 12+ inches) but the row cover I am holding down with these are outside of the deeply tilled area, so they work great. When you go to pull them out, it takes a little effort, so they work. All the wind we get these hold fine, it's the row cover that is taking the beating. I double or triple the cover and push these through to keep it from ripping too bad. I need to order more, instead of using rocks and bricks. They just move and the cover comes loose.

Yes they are 11 gauge. We have that listed in the bullet points up on the top part of the page: "Durable 11 Gauge Steel". And as others have said, they are plenty strong for most jobs and generally don't bend unless you're trying to push them through a rock or something, in which case the rock might win that battle. ;-)

Not sure the exact gauge, but they are plenty sturdy. Didn't have any trouble pushing them into the ground at any point.

11 gauge steel .... won't bend when you push it into compacted ground like those available in the discount stores.

I would guess that they are about 12 gauge. They are stiffer than a coat hanger. I have been able to hit them with a hammer but they do bend pretty quickly if the tip makes contact with a small rock in the soil. I have been very happy with them.

The have 0.0015", 0.0025", 0.004", 0.005", 0.006" etc, but not the 0.003" gauge that I could see.

I'm not sure what gauge, but they fit a standard wire pin for a drop earring if that helps.

I'm not sure but they look the same to me. It says they are the same gauge. The ones I got are all silver color and have a nice feel to them.

They're metal of some sort. Black, matte metal and have a fairly substantial weight for their size. I've had them on since May 2013 and they work great!

Not certain what gauge, but they are no cheaply made tin type buckets. Ours are used for water for our four big dogs and has been exposed to freezing temps urging which the water has frozen solid.. No problems with the bucket at all.

Judging from the size of black, blue, and white brake control wires, I would say they are 12 gauge. No labeling on wires.

They were considerably more flimsy than the ones we used to buy at housewares stores. I can't answer about the gauge of the aluminum, but I wouldn't buy these again

Hi Brian, I want to say they are 12 gauge, but not exact. I do know they are nice and long and very sturdy. Not flimsy at all. I am on my second box of a thousand. My customers prefer them over the ones they grab at Lowe's. I hope that helps.

Don't know gauge but they are thinner than the original bowls I bought at Sam's in the early 2000. I bought a set of bowls like this for my niece when she married last year & sent them back as they were not as heavy as mine.

Hi, I think these are 31 gauge--very thin! I can hardly feel these when I use them.

They are steel. A pretty thick gauge for rim protectors. I have some pretty good rock hits on mine and no bends or dents. The paint job could be better. No rust, but plan on repainting them every couple years.

I don't know what kind of metal they are. I purchased the less expensive and they were very lightweight and bent. These are strong.

I Dont know the gauge but its a very sturdy grill all together. Highly recommended.

Their extremely heavy, I was about to say metal but am thinking brass or, their like marbles, heavy marbles. Hope this helps.

I'd say heavier metal. They're not the super thin aluminium you find on some rods.
