you’re fastening it to drywall, use drywall or ﬂathead wood screws with

you don’t want to mount pegboard ﬂush against a wall.)

like hooks, should I buy

for my pegboard?

Our peg holes are drilled to

hold ¼” pegboard accessories.

pegboard holes?

of one to the center of the next

(that’s called 1” on-center).
