How much space does a pegboard need?

Because our Wooden pegboards come in all different sizes, they really don't need much space at all. However the minimum space is 600mm by 600mm as that is the smallest sized peg board So Watt offer.

How far off the wall does a pegboard need to be?

The best thing about the pegboard panels is that they’re extremely versatile, so they can be as close to the wall as the ‘split batten’ allows.

How do you keep peg board pegs from falling out?

Sometimes there can be 00.5mm discrepancy between the sizes of the holes and the sizes of the Oak dowels that are put into them. This is unavoidable in manufacturing because of the way that timber can expand and contract depending on the moisture levels in its environment. So we recommend putting a piece of masking tape around the base of the oak dowel, which can make up for the discrepancy and stop the dowels from moving around in the holes.

Q: How do you secure a pegboard to the wall?

We have made it very easy to install our pegboards! We use a piece of kit called a ‘split batten’ which is screwed into the wall and then slots onto the panel, however the fixing is only as strong as the wall, so its important that you screw into brick or stud behind the plaster. Watch our handy video!

Q: How much weight can you hang on a pegboard?

The Amount of weight that your timber pegboard can take is mostly up to how well its been installed and what its been installed into. This means that if you screw into a brick wall your beg board should be able to take a lot of weight!

FAQs

Are these products made in Australia?

They are. Everything is designed and produced locally in our Marrickville workshop, using Australian materials wherever possible.

How much weight can you hang on a Pegboard?

The amount of weight a timber Pegboard can support depends largely on how it has been installed and what it has been fixed into. A properly installed panel fixed into a suitable structural surface, such as a brick wall or wall stud, will provide a stronger fixing than one secured only into plasterboard. If you're unsure about the suitability of your wall or the load you need to support, we recommend speaking with a qualified installer.

How do you secure a Pegboard to the wall?

Our Pegboard Panels use a split batten system for easy installation. The split batten is screwed into the wall and the panel then slots onto it. The fixing is only as strong as the wall it is attached to, so we recommend fixing into brick or a stud behind plasterboard where possible. Watch our handy installation video for more information.
