Finally Get Your Desk Clear And Keep It That Way
Desk drowning in cables, tools, and random stuff? Pegboard changes everything. Mount it on the wall, hang everything you use regularly, and suddenly your workspace makes sense. Plus you can reorganize it whenever you want - move hooks around as your needs change.
💡 Pro tip: Mount pegboard behind your desk - everything's within arm's reach but off your work surface. Massive productivity boost.
Why Proper Mounting Matters
Stick pegboard straight to the wall and hooks won't fit. Mount it badly and it'll sag under weight.

|---|---|
| Spacers behind for hook clearance | Flat to wall, hooks useless |
| Level and square | Wonky, items slide off |

🔧 DIY Tips
🔧 Tools you'll need:
- Drill and appropriate bits
- Spirit level
- Stud finder (plasterboard walls)
- Screws and wall plugs
- Spacers or small blocks of wood
- Saw if cutting to size
⚠️ Common mistakes:
- Mounting flush to wall (hooks won't fit)
- Not finding studs on plasterboard
- Insufficient fixing points (sags)
- Not level (items slide sideways)
💡 Pro trick: Use 20mm spacers behind pegboard - gives perfect clearance for standard hooks. And paint it before mounting - easier than trying to paint around hooks later.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Spray paint it first - colored pegboard looks way better than boring beige/brown. Let it dry fully before mounting.
Combining with shelving? Pegboard below, shelves above works brilliantly for maximum storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's pegboard good for?
Brilliant for organizing tools, office supplies, cables, anything you want to hand but off the desk. Infinitely reconfigurable - move hooks and shelves around as your needs change. Popular in workshops, offices, and creative spaces.
Does it need special mounting?
Yes - pegboard needs spacers behind it so the hooks have room to slot in. Can't just screw it flat to the wall or the hooks won't work. I'll mount it with proper standoffs at the right spacing.
Can you fit a large sheet?
Absolutely - 8ft x 4ft sheets are no problem. Larger boards need more secure fixing points but they give you loads of storage. I can also cut and fit smaller custom sizes if you don't need a full sheet.
What walls can it go on?
Any solid wall is ideal. Plasterboard walls need anchoring into studs - pegboard with tools/items hanging off it can get heavy. I'll assess your wall and use appropriate fixings.
Do you supply the hooks and accessories?
Not usually - hooks and accessories depend on what you're storing. You can get pegboard hook sets online cheap, or I can advise on what'll work for your needs and pick them up.
