Can anyone recommend a long lasting/eco friendly sock drying rack?

I remember stainless steel clothes pegs that were effectively indestructable being recommended in a thread on here, I'm wondering if someone can make a similar recommendation for a sock drying rack? I have a cheap plastic one that has been repaired 5 times this year and would like to replace it with something that should last a decade or more. I'm not averse to plastic so long as it lasts, I just want to try to avoid buying another that will likely only last a couple of years. I've seen some stainless steel options but the one year warranties hardly fill me with confidence. Hopefully someone one here can make a recommendation based on 1st hand experience, thanks in advance.

I have a cheap plastic one. On mine, it's the pegs which break, as they go brittle in the sun. I used to just throw them away but when i shelled out the £1.50 for the current one I  saved the 9 still- okay pegs off the last one and now when a peg breaks i just replace the peg. Still got 5 spare pegs. Not everlasting, but much better than before. Broken pegs go into the recycling.

OH's mum has a double thickness section on her clothes line. She "pegs" things by pushing them between the two lines IYSWIM.

The Ikea ones have lasted me years.  Must be 10+ years so far.

I've got an ikea octopus, when the pegs broke i replaced them with normal clothes pegs which I attached to the loops on the arms with giant paperclips. (The clips go through the spring in the middle of the peg) 

Alternatively Muju do a metal framed one https://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?ukupd=y&sec=6&sub=26&pid=10580&qclr=4550002578398

One year warranties are entirely standard , why would that put you off?

Did you not buy that microwave because it "only" has a one year warranty? Washing machine? Kettle? TV?
