Placement & Usage Tips
Mount the pegboard with spacers behind it so hooks can be inserted and removed easily. Install at a height where the most-used items fall between waist and eye level. Leave the bottom row open for longer items that hang below their hooks.
💡 Pro Tip
Trace the outline of each tool or item on the pegboard with a marker or paint to create designated spots. This shadow board technique, borrowed from lean manufacturing, makes it instantly obvious when something is missing and encourages items to be returned to their correct positions.
