Use it to display and store an assortment of items you need easy access to, including tools, craft supplies, and children’s toys, a kitchen wall, jewelry, or a gift-wrapping station. After you identify the use for your pegboard, then you can choose the appropriate size for the location in your home.

When shopping for a pegboard, consider any add-ons that come with the board itself. First, you’ll want to make sure that the pegboard comes with hanging hardware (if it goes on a wall) so that you can easily install it in any corner of the room.This article was written by Sara Coleman, a commerce writer contributing to The Spruce. To select the best pegboards, Coleman considered dozens of options, carefully evaluating each product's use, application, assembly requirements, and materials. She has her own pegboard system spanning an entire two walls in her garage workshop, filled from top to bottom with tools and supplies. Depending on where you mount your peg board, make sure you use the right screws for your wall and wall plugs where extra support is required.

We are going to show you how to make a wall mounted peg board. Constructed from timberboard with perforated holes that fit wooden dowels to hang items on, we’ll also show you how to make supported shelving for larger goods. A chop saw or circular saw will ensure that your timber is cut accurately with precision speed. If you don’t have access to power tools, this project can also be completed with a universal saw. Ensure your timber is securely clamped, then slowly cut along your scored line with a clean and sharp saw blade. One of the most appealing aspects of this set is how easy it is to add your accessories. It accepts standard-sized accessories, including pegs, shelves, and hooks, so you the options are endless. Installation is fairly straightforward and once it’s installed, it’s extremely sturdy and ready to provide years of use for your items, including heavy-duty tools.

Cutting and shaping the dowels

PLoS One 10(3). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0118642 For safety, we recommend wearing protective goggles and heavy-duty gloves when using a chop saw or drill. Our step by step instructions have been designed as a guideline to build a peg board from one sheet of 18 x 600 x 1150mm timber. These dimensions can be changed depending on how much space you have to hang your peg board. Inspect the cables and blade of the chop saw and circular saw before they are plugged in, to ensure they are in good condition. If any of the elements need to be replaced, make sure this is done before construction begins.
