How do I attach a peg board to brick?

[Jac]

Not sure if this topic goes in this section but it's to do with a workshop so...

Just wondered what's the best way to put peg board up. I'm guessing I have to attach it via a frame or something but how do I attach it to the brick? And do I put the frame up first or attach the frame to the peg board then put it up?

Thanx

Use a masonry bit and a hammer drill to drill a hole in the brick. Stick one of those plastic things from Bunnings in the hole, and screw into the plastic thing. They sell them by the thousands, usually near the dynabolts.

From there, your choices are legion. Screw in two hooks and put the pegboard on the hooks. Screw the frame to the brick. etc etc.

They are called Nylon Anchors.

But I would tend to batten the brickwork with 2 x 1 using longer Nylon Anchors and then screw the pegboard to the battens.

This will allow you to use peg board hooks on the pegboard. (Pegboard Clips are cheap as chips at The Warehouse.

Picture as asked sorry for the delay , use angle brackets to brickwork with nylon rawl plugs using a maconary drill bit to suit , build a frame around the edge of the peg board and hinge to the section you fasten to the bricks this allows you to use both sides of the peg board a huge advantage, make sure its well clear of any benches under it so you can swing it open without having to clear your bench first.
Another tip is to use a hot glue gun to stick the hooks you use to the peg board .

It's an interesting idea - but I worry about what happens when you swing that board around and it's full of heavy tools, isn't there a bit of a risk that the tools could 'fly off'
?

Otherwise, I think it's a good idea - I'll probably use it for other things in my shed

Paul I don't tend to put heavy tools on my peg board , hand saws , pliers, spanners, etc and you don't swing it open at any speed so no problems so far, if you are worried about the hinges a piano hinge gives extra strength,

When I've mounted peg board I have used usually green wall plugs 1/4 inch (6mm) and then spaced board from wall by about 12mm with scrap blocks with a hole through them and held with a number of reasonable length screws. These blocks are needed for the pegboard hooks to hook in behind the sheet

I find that most of the hooks tend to drop out of pegboards when items are removed. Their weighting tends to rotate the hook 180 degrees and then they drop out. I have resorted to using the prong type to get around this problem but they take up more space and are around $1 each

Any alternative hooks available out there other than Zenith brand and other cheapies on the market?

These are the ones that I got from The Warehouse. The beauty with these ones they have another pin that locks the single ones so that they don't spin around and they are cheap and well made. There are ten different types in the pack with a total of 32 in the pack.

Hot glue gun a bit on each peg helps keep them in place

Was just about to say try hot melt glue. This is what I use and it has worked for a number of years.

Does Bunnings have them? I am looking for some as well. We don't have The Warehouse here in Tas.
