### Stop Digging Through Toolboxes
Every project starts the same way: **10 minutes digging through toolboxes** trying to find the right screwdriver. Tools buried at the bottom, spanners tangled together, that socket set with three sizes missing.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** A properly organized tool wall doesn't just save time - it stops you buying duplicates of tools you've already got but can't find.

### Why Professional Installation Matters
There's hanging a board, and fitting it properly:
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Level, professionally mounted | Wonky, looks terrible | | Securely fixed to wall studs | Falls off wall when loaded | | Right height for easy access | Too high or too low | | Properly spaced for ventilation | Tight to wall, can't hang hooks |

What to Expect
### Step 1: Position Planning Work out the best location - within easy reach, good lighting, away from car doors. Mark out level mounting points. ### Step 2: Secure Mounting Fix the board using appropriate wall plugs or fixing into studs. Pegboard needs spacing off the wall (for hooks), French cleats need precise leveling. ### Step 3: Load Test Test it's secure with some actual tools loaded. Check nothing sags, everything's accessible, and you're happy with the height.

Good to Know
> 🔧 **Whole garage reorganization?** If you're doing tool boards, consider adding overhead storage, sports racks, and shelving at the same time. I can fit a complete garage storage system in one visit. **Pegboard vs French cleats** - Pegboard's cheap and flexible, great for light tools. French cleats are more expensive but far stronger - better for heavy tools and power tools. **Lighting matters** - A tool wall needs good lighting. Consider adding an LED strip above it if the garage lighting's poor. **Paint it first** - Much easier to paint the pegboard before mounting it. White or bright colors make tools easier to see. **Tool outlines** - Some people draw outlines of tools on the board. Looks professional and you know instantly if something's missing.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tool board fitting in Newton Abbot
What type of tool board can you fit?
Pegboard, slatwall, French cleat systems, magnetic tool boards - whatever suits your tools and garage. Pegboard's most popular because it's cheap and flexible, but French cleats are better for heavy tools.
Do I need to buy the board first?
Yes - there are loads of different systems. Pegboard from B&Q is cheap and works well. French cleat systems from Screwfix are brilliant but more expensive. Get what suits your budget and I'll fit it properly.
How big a board can you fit?
As big as your wall space allows. Single 8x4 sheet, whole wall, multiple boards - whatever you want. I'll make sure it's mounted securely and level.
Can you mount it to plasterboard walls?
Heavy tools need solid fixing. On plasterboard I'll either find the studs and fix to those, or use heavy-duty plasterboard fixings rated for the weight. Masonry walls are much better though.
Will you arrange my tools on it?
I'll mount the board and make sure it's level and secure. How you arrange your tools is up to you - you know what you use most often. If you want suggestions on layout, I'm happy to advise.
