How to Install Pegboard
More in Remodeling
Step 1: Plan the Project
Pegboard sheets come in various sizes, ours is 4' x 6'. The surrounding frame is made with 1x3 boards with one vertical board running through the center of the pegboard.
Step 2: Find the Studs and Paint the Pegboard
Locate and mark the studs in the wall. Use a stud finder or a hammer and nail to identify the studs.Paint the face side of the pegboard before it is installed onto the wall. Paint the pieces of the frame to match the pegboard.
Step 3: Cut the Pegboard
Cut the pegboard to size using a circular saw and a guide. Cut the 1x3 frame wood to size using a circular saw.
Step 4: Frame and Secure the Pegboard
Attach the pegboard to the frame with short (5/8") staples from an air nailer. Attach the pegboard to the wall by screwing through the frame and into the studs -- four screws, two on top and two on bottom.
