How did this project turn out?

Ended up buying the 3/16" white pegboard sold by Home Depot. We'll see if it holds up. It's super flexible.

Anyone else getting a "site not trusted" when trying to checkout on the wallpegstore site? Is this unusual?

I asked the question based on a number of posts ive read here, which dissuade me from using the 3/16, which is about 9x cheaper than steel pegboard. I do plan on installing approx 360 sq ft of the stuff, so i want it to last and look good.

Hello, I've spent some time reading the pegboard threads, and the consensus seems to be to use 1/4" pegboard vs the 3/16" which is sold locally in stores. Has anyone tried doubling-up the 3/16" pegboard to increase the strength and holding power? Would the conventional hooks still work?

I just had a monolithic slab poured in october and i have about 6 cracks very similar to yours. Are you in VA by any chance? How did the contractor say he would fix it?

Hello, Spent a few hours searching this forum, and found most DIY'ers here have built their workbenches/shelving from lumber. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Has anyone tried to put together workbenches/shelving from galvanized slotted angle? You can get some fairly...

It's not that I don't want it to be visible. I'm OK with that. The point that I'm concerned about is how it exits from the building. Drilling a hole in vinyl siding and caulking it looks bad (no offense to anyone). Being able to run it through the meter base and alongside the conduit where...

I have vinyl siding on a stick-built garage with underground service that is forthcoming. Before the power company will run service, I need to pass inspection. The inspector won't pass it until there are two 8' ground rods installed 6 feet apart connected to the service panel by #6 wire. I...

So you just drilled through your sheathing/siding and caulked it? I would feel pretty lousy doing that after I just took the time to install the meter base on a vinyl j-block to prevent water infiltration. :confused:

Hello, Trying to finish up my garage wiring, and I need to connect the service panel (200a) in the garage to two 8-foot ground rods outside via a #6 bare copper wire. What is the tidiest way to do this? Thanks.

My reason for this was that in the last garage i had, every time id get new equipment, there was no way to reconfigure the space to accommodate it where it made sense. Im talking 220v items mainly. The result was that you couldnt weld while the oven was on, or couldnt have the air compressor...

Where exactly is the waste of materials (versus doing an entirely nm-b or entirely thhn in emt installation)?

Hello, Getting around to wiring my new garage now. It's 24x30, stick built. I'd like to run all of the wiring on the drywall surface to make it easy to add/remove/move circuits as necessary. Additionally, the walls will be fully insulated with no disruption due to wiring or boxes. What I'd...

Can anyone comment on a Clopay 4050 versus an Amarr 3000? Both are foam insulation sandwiched with steel on both sides.
