Instructions
Build Pegboards
Cut pegboards to size with a circular saw.
Create a frame for the back of the pegboard. You can rip plywood or use furring strips. You want your boards to be at least 1/2" off the wall.
Attach frame to the pegboard using a nail gun.
Paint with a roller. Painting the sides will help create a more finished look.
Install Pegboards
Find studs with a stud finder
Use a 4' level to mark the height you want to hang.
Place level on top of pegboards before hanging to ensure your board is level.
Screw threw the top of the pegboard and frame into studs.
Notes
We purchased prefinished pegboards and did not need to use primer before painting.
In order for metal pegboard hooks and accessories to work, your boards need to be around 1/2" thick once your frame is added.
You can add a frame to the front to dress-up your pegboard or even paint a fun design on them.
