As you’ll see, we also painted the boards for the frame for a fun pop of color.Finally, we attached the top board and nailed the rest of the frame together.To piece it all together, we nailed together 3 of the boards so they made a U shape, then we slid the pegboard in.Then, he cut the ends of each board on a 45-degree angle.He simply used his router to cut a small slot in each board for the pegboard to fit into.

To make it, we bought a massive pegboard at Lowe’s (it’s about 4 feet by 8 feet), and Corey built a simple frame for it using 2×4’s. How to Build a Giant DIY Pegboard Step 1: Build a Frame We kept overestimating the structural integrity of the pegboard and having to go back in and fix things (don’t do that), it fell off the wall not once but twice while we were trying to put our tools on it (don’t let that happen), and when we were finally getting it totally fixed and attaching it (securely) to the wall, we accidently screwed into an electrical line that was installed improperly and killed all of the electricity going to the workshop (really bad idea to do that, too).īut, we FINALLY got it all fixed, hung, and loaded up.

In keeping with the theme of this entire workshop renovation being a nightmare, we had our fair share of problems with this project. After we got the flooring fixed and installed our DIY workbenches, the next project on our agenda was to install a giant pegboard to keep all of our tools organized. It’s been a long road, but we’re finally getting to a point where it’s starting to feel like it might one day be a useful space again. This summer, Corey and I have been working really hard on getting the workshop in our backyard organized. We created a giant, DIY pegboard wall in our workshop and it has totally changed our organization game when it comes to our tools! See how we built this large pegboard and how we’re using it to keep things clean.
