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:


  • (4) Green Metal Pegboard Pack - Two 32in x 16in Pegboard Tool Boards (Wall Control)

  • 32in x 16in Green Metal Pegboard Tool Board Panel (Wall Control)

  • (5) Medium Slotted Hook (4) Pack - 1-7/8in Reach (Wall Control)

  • (6) Extended Reach Slotted Pegboard Hook (2) Pack - 6in Reach (Wall Control)

  • (2) 1-1/4in Slotted Metal Pegboard Handle Bracket (Wall Control)

  • 2in Slotted Metal Pegboard Handle Bracket (Wall Control)

  • (2) 14in Slotted Metal Pegboard Accessory Hanger (Wall Control)

  • Slotted Metal Pegboard Screwdriver Holder (Wall Control)

  • (4) 12in Deep Slotted Metal Pegboard Shelf Assembly (Wall Control)

  • Slotted Metal Pegboard Paper Towel Holder and Dowel Rod 4in Shelf Assembly (Wall Control)

  • Plastic Hanging Pegboard Bin 4x5x3 - (3) Pack (Wall Control)

  • (2) U-Shaped Slotted Pegboard Hook (2) Pack - 4in Reach (Wall Control)

  • Drill Holder Storage Rack - Compact Impact Drill Battery Power Tool Pegboard Organizer (Wall Control)

  • Rubber Coating Hook and Accessory Liner (Wall Control)

We are ready to replace the old wood pegboard with metal Wall Control pegboard.
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 panels and accessories came well packaged in heavy duty boxes.
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.)
Finding the placement for the first Wall Control metal pegboard panel.
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!
Add the last of the green wall control metal pegboard panels.
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.

Organizing clamps on the Wall Control panel.
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.

Those Ryobi tools look great against the green Wall Control metal pegboard.
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?"
Wall Control provides lots of functional storage without taking up a lot of valuable floor space.
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. 

Please note: This is not a sponsored post, but Wall Control did provide the product.
