How to Hang a Peg Board

Pegboards are useful additions to any home. With them, you can hang tools, kitchen supplies or even creatively hang office supplies with them. Hanging a pegboard doesn't have to be difficult, but it does have to be done right to support all of the equipment it will hold.

Instructions

1

Measure the area where you will place your pegboard with a tape measure.

2

Choose the right pegboard size accordingly, and mark and cut it yourself using a jigsaw or hand saw, or ask a hardware store employee if they will cut it for you.

3

Cut out four pieces of 1x2 board, two the desired width of your pegboard and two the desired length of your pegboard.

4

Take your drill and screws, and screw the four pieces of pegboard you cut in Step 3 into a frame shape on your wall.

5

Line up your pegboard with the frame you created. You may need the help of a friend to keep it steady.

6

Use your drill to screw in the pegboard at about 15-inch intervals.

7

Place the hooks on your pegboard.
