PEGBOARD LAYOUT PLANNER

Q: How do I space pegboard hooks?

Holes are on a 1-inch grid. Leave a hole or two between hooks so tools do not crowd; the planner snaps each tile to the grid so spacing is realistic.

Q: How far off the wall should pegboard sit?

About half an inch, so the hooks can hook through. Use the spacers that come with a kit, or mount on half-inch furring strips screwed to studs.

Design your garage or workshop tool wall right in the browser. Pick a pegboard size, drag on hooks, bins, shelves and tool holders, snap them to the 1″ hole grid, and get a shopping list. No app, no signup.

Standard Sizes & Holes

Pegboard comes in 2×4 and 4×8 ft sheets with holes on a 1″ grid (1/4″ holes for standard hooks, 1/8″ for light-duty). This planner snaps every accessory to that 1″ grid so your real hooks line up.

Mounting

Hold pegboard 1/2″ off the wall on furring strips or spacers so hooks can seat — use the included spacers or 1/2″ ply strips.
Screw into studs (16″ on center) at the corners and every ~16″ along the edges.
Heavy tools (clamps, power tools) belong on the lower third, near studs.

Reading the Shopping List

We total each accessory type you placed and convert your board into standard sheet sizes. Hook and bin counts are exact; buy a hook assortment if you mix sizes.
