Pegs go inside tents (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teepees

'tents' is the definition.
(teepee is a kind of tent)

'pegs go inside' is the wordplay.
'pegs' becomes 'tees' (tee is a kind of peg).
'go' becomes 'pee' (both can mean to urinate).
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tees' placed around 'pee' is 'TEEPEES'.

(Another definition for teepees that I've seen is " Native American tents".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
