Mark J Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Welcome to the forum @Wimayo. Please feel free to like peg board. It's your wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat60 Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Welcome also. I understand about saving cash when you can. I don't spend money on making my shop look pretty. There is other things I need more. I'm not saying I like peg board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Nothing wrong with pegboard. If you have a lot of space it's very useful..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wimayo Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Thanks for the welcome. This is a great forum. Danbell78's slat wall looks great. Doesn't it? My satisfaction with pegboard is due mainly to my cheap effective hook tie-down system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis O'Shea Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I changed over all my peg board to plywood Mad all the tool holder and put five coats of poly on the plywood Couldn't be happier with how it brightened up the shop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2woodwrk Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I started my shop with lots of peg board. However, one thing about pegboard that bothered me more and more over time was getting tools off and having the pegs fall off. I secured them with peg holders, screws etc but they continued to plague me by falling off. I recently discovered the French cleat system and started converting my walls into this storage format. I still have a few pegboards, but the cleat system is very useful, neat and I can have all my small power tools displayed and handy on the wall rather than stuck in a drawer. It has helped me gain lots of extra storage in my shop and allowed me to remove items from the wall that I seldom if ever use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I solved that problem this way: It involves doubling the end of a piece of 12 ga electrical wire, putting a "Z" bend in it, then cranking it around the hanger to tighten it up. It takes about a minute to do and keeps the hanger tight to the pegboard. It is easily removed by clipping it off and making another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
