Thank you to Wall Control for providing the product in this project!
Steph and I have installed a lot of Wall Control metal pegboard over the years. With the exception of the replacement plastic pegboard at Steph's house, we've always started on empty walls. This time is different!
Steph's friend, Daniel, installed old school wood pegboard in his garage when he moved into his house a few years ago. Over time, due to the Florida heat and humidity, that pegboard had started to deteriorate. The wood had expanded and contracted making the pegs not fit correctly. It was time for an upgrade! With Wall Control's partnership, Steph and Daniel, upgraded Daniel's garage from the wood pegboard to metal. Product:
This was Daniel's current set up. The pegboard was functional, but only to a point. This wall space was too valuable to only be storing these few tools. Wall Control panels will provide more functional storage.
The Wall Control was waiting to be unboxed when Steph got to Daniel's house. (We went to Orlando to be tourists, but Steph took time out to help Danial with this project.)
Once all the demo was done on day 1, it was time to installed the panels early on day 2. It is very important to get the first panel level as all the other panels depend on this. If this one is crooked, all the rest will be!
Once the first panel is in the place, it's very easy to add the remaining ones. Although, you can install the panels by yourself, it is much easier with a buddy! Each panel has six holes. If the holes line up with a stud, a 1/8" hole is predrilled, if not, 1/4" holes are drilled to accommodate a wall anchor. This set-up had a combination of both.
This is flexible rubber liner which is used on hooks that hold tools that could easily slip off. It holds these much more securely.
Now the fun part! Getting organized. Daniel started with his clamp collection. If you look closely, you can see the rubber liner on these two hooks.
The slotted metal pegboard accessory hanger is one of the most versatile accessories.
Wow! That's a beautiful set-up. Those Ryobi tools look great against the green Wall Control metal pegboard! You know, someone needs to ask, "What's the deal with the hanging shark?"
So much functional storage in a little space! It looks great.
Wall Control metal pegboard is a superior replacement for old school wood pegboard. If you live in a hot humid area this may be just what your garage needs.
