Step 2 Cut Your Dowels
We cut our dowels to 6” pieces. You can get these cut by a Home Depot associate.
-
Step 3 Measure The Holes
Measure the distance between the holes. We decided to space the holes 6” apart. Use 2” masking tape to create a grid based on these measurements.
-
Step 4 Drill Holes
Where the intersection of the tape meets, drill a hole using a 7/8” drill bit. We had 44 holes total. Try to keep them as straight as you can!
-
Step 5 Paint Pegboard
We chose to paint the pegboard, but keep the dowels their natural colour. This is where you can make it your own!
-
Step 6 Hang The Pegboard
Using a French Cleat, you can easily attach your pegboard to a wall, holding up to 200lbs.
-
Step 7 Add Dowels To Pegboard
Twist the dowel into the pegboard. It should have a snug fit.
-
Step 8 Place Shelves On Dowels
Place your shelves on dowels. These can also be cut by a Home Depot associate!
-
Step 9 Accessorize
Hang your favourite plants, towels, or kitchen and laundry essentials off the pegs.
