🔧 DIY Tips
🔧 You'll need: Stud finder, drill, appropriate screws, spirit level, helper (boards are awkward)
💡 Getting it right:
- Find and mark all studs before starting
- Mount into studs, not just plasterboard
- Use washers with screws - spreads load
- Check level as you go
⚠️ Common mistakes: Mounting only to plasterboard (pulls out when loaded), not level (tools slide off), inadequate fixing spacing (board sags)

Frequently Asked Questions
What's better - pegboard or slat wall?
Pegboard is cheaper and more traditional - tools hang on hooks in the holes. Slat wall is more versatile and stronger - uses rails that can hold heavier items. Both work well - pegboard for light tools, slat wall for everything including heavy power tools.
How big should the tool board be?
Depends on your tools and wall space. Most people do 1.2m x 2.4m (standard sheet size). Bigger if you've got lots of tools. I'll advise based on what you want to hang and your workshop/garage layout.
Will it hold heavy tools?
If mounted properly, yes. Key is fixing into wall studs, not just the plasterboard. I'll find the studs and mount the board so it's properly supported. Pegboard can hold medium tools, slat wall handles heavy stuff.
Can you arrange the tools or just fit the board?
I'll fit the board securely. Arranging tools is up to you - you know how you work and what you use most. But I can help plan the layout if you want suggestions.
What about the hooks and accessories?
You'll need to buy those separately - they're specific to pegboard or slat wall systems. I can advise on what works well if you're not sure.
