Pegboard

[Hickorystick]

Hello Chaps
Just busy lining my garage out to create a workshop. Have built a bench and now need some pegboard to run along the top so I can hang all the hand tools. Any thoughts on best place for getting this - need to fill a space roughly 2m x 1m.

Thanks
Phil

Not sure if it's too far from you, up there in the mountains but http://www.atlantictimber.co.uk/sheetmaterial.html do it in Altrincham and cut to size as well. Geoff

Thanks Geoff
Probably need to find a more local supplier I think. The mountain mule will not make if that far...

You will find this is a special order item. Most woodyards or builders merchants will be able to order it in for you as it is not usually stored on site. readily available though. A phone call to your local will tell you if they are willing to place the order for you. It will probably have to be a full size sheet you have to buy though.

I haven't bought any for several years but if memory serves, it was around £15 for a 3mm x 1220 x.2440 sheet.

Why not make up some french cleats. Simple, cheap & very moveable.

You still need the pegboard to "cleat" onto ? :?

Yes that's what I'm planning on doing in my workshop.

I just put up a sheet of MDF and then got a system off of eBay for about £25.

Not the best photo but one I had to hand.

The black plastic is from eBay and the grey one was actually from Lidl or Aldi. My wife spotted it and bought it for me as it was cheap. (If she thought something for the workshop was cheap then it must have been)
