Wall storage

[JonCamo]

Hi

Planning storage solutions for when my shed is finished. I currently gave this style pegboard in my garage and get annoyed when I lift a tool off it and the hook invariably comes with it. Is this just a bad example and are there better makes on the market?
Or any alternative solutions?

Regards

Jon

Sheet of 12mm ply hung on a french cleat then I use screws for the ‘pegs’. Likely not as attractive as a true peg board but functional and infinitely reconfigurable.

Sounds pretty straightforward. Cheers

If you got a 3d printer or access to one there are hundreds of designs available free on the likes of thingiverse.com , bambu makerworld etc. Everything from basic peg hooks to elaborate sets for all manner of tools cans, glue trays boxes etc.
I like if because it's robust and easily expanded as your needs change.

Pegboard is a manifestation of the devil...

I favour roofing batten screwed to the wall with squares of3/8" ply screwed thereto and a big bag of tool clips (see below)

You can with a little aforethought securely stow a lot of tools in a small area as you are not wholly dependent on gravity to define their positions. Paint the ply with white emulsion, then one can draw around tools to a. Remind you where they should be stowed b. Which tool is 'missing'.

Mine is shown below, very simple just 40mm batons fixed vertically to the wall with timbers fixed horizontally to those leaving gaps for cantilever shelves to fit between.
At the base I added some drawers for small components, the shelves are made to accommodate my most used tools & are very simple to make.

The thought of my wife watching me draw around my tools is filling me with joy. Grat suggestions! Cheers

Wow, some lovely tools, and a well thought out and neatly made means of storing them.

Looking at this photo makes me realise it's not my tools that need organising so much as I need to be organised. Very nice.

Can't beat the versatility of the French cleats. I was skeptical at first and thought it might "waste" a lot of timber. But I just started doing it with scrap pieces and really saw the benefits. It is infinitely adjustable and very easy to "standardize" things in the workshop.

Thank you

Could you elaborate on the use of French Cleats here a little please? I'm not sure what you mean. Thanks.
I've been reading this thread with interest as I need to sort out some wall mounted tool storage.

Depending on if you can get to the back of the board
You could try heat shrink tube, (used in electrical insulation) on the pegs to stop them coming out.

a tool cabinet or tool chest is my preference, it protects them from rust and dust and you can make them lockable if you want to.
