How do you hang tools on a pegboard?
Hang Garden Hand Tools On Pegboard For the garden tools with holes in the handles, simply use a straight hook. For garden tools without holes, you can place 2 straight hooks in adjacent pegboard holes and hook the blade of the garden tool over them (like the 2 shovels in the second row).
What pegboard hooks to use for tools?
Many hooks have a 1/8″ thickness and are made of low-quality steel or even plastic. Hanging heavy shovels or axes from these hooks will often cause them to bend or break. I recommend you to only use 1/4″ steel pegboard hooks if you have standard 1/4″ holed pegboard.
Can you drill into pegboard?
Position the pegboard over the 1-by-2-by-2-inch long boards. Push the drill bit through a hole in the pegboard and bore a hole into the center of the boards and into the stud.
Which is the best way to organize tools on a pegboard?
Step 1: Start by hanging your largest, heaviest tools like sanders or electric drills on the bottom of your pegboard. Many people hang these in a row across the bottom. This also makes your garage safer since you don’t want heavy tools falling from the top of your pegboard. Step 2: Group like-sized tools together.
What’s the best way to install pegboard on a wall?
If you can’t find the studs and you are hanging the pegboard on drywall, install wall anchors every 16 inches so that the pegboard is adequately supported. Drilling into studs is preferable, since pegboards are often used to hang heavy tools or kitchen pots and pans.
What kind of hooks do you use to hang pegboard?
When you’ve finished the pegboard installation, you can attach your preferred pegboard hooks or hangers. Make sure you buy ones designed for particleboard. Use shorter hooks for smaller, lightweight items and longer, thicker hooks for heavier items such as drills and saws. Some tools require specialized hooks.
What should I put on my peg board?
Aim to keep a little open space on your pegboard for items like tape. You may also add new tools over time that you want to keep handy. If possible, leave small gaps between tools so that you can add to your pegboard without a complete reconfiguration.
