This is how to make a DIY pegboard:
- #1 Start by cutting the main board for your pegs to size with your circular saw (or depending on where you purchase your wood, you could get it cut in store).
- #2 Next measure the positions of the holes for your dowels.
- #3 Now it's time to drill the holes for your dowels.
Can I make my own pegboard?
Drill a hole through each point you've marked, making sure you drill all the way through the wood. Ensure you use a bit that is the same size as your dowelling, so the pegs fit in securely. ... This step is completely optional (you might like the raw wood look), but I think paint adds a bit of personality to the pegboard.
What can I use instead of a peg board?
Plywood. Bolt plywood to the wall where you need to hang items for easy access. Sheets of plywood can be cut to any size and bolted to the wall to form an inexpensive pegboard alternative. Tools are then hung on nails instead of hooks.
