Pegboard instead of sheet rock...

[SMLnurse420]

Anybody ever used pegboard instead of sheet rock?
I'm thinking of insulating my garage and then using pegboard as a substitute for drywall!

If you have any pictures please post!

I recently did my garage, looked at all options, IIRC pegboard was a bit more expensive than my option of going with osb.Youll probably want a combination of materials just using pegboard in a couple areas, hope that helps and Im still trying to decipher your login. Peace MM

I put my pegboard up over my wall covering and had it set off from it for the hooks. If you fasten the pegboard directly to the studs and have insulated walls, you'll be poking holes in your insulation when you put the pegboard hooks in place.

Check my sig link, I put up some pegboard. No insulation though.

The old guy that owned my house from 1959 till bought it built a 13x28 shop add-on and sheathed the whole thing in pegboard. He did a fairly good job so I only painted it to freshen it up. But then when it came time to sheath the walls in the garage itself I put up 1/4" pegboard over insulation and it has worked just fine for several years now, no complaints.

HOWEVER, I live in Southern California. Last night was probably the coldest night of the "winter" and it was 38 degrees. You don't have your location listed but I don't think pegboard would be an adequate wall coverng anywhere less temperate than here.

Dad had squirreled away over 20 4x4 sheets of pegboard and when we cleaned out his garage and moved out, I was gifted with them.
So I was able to use rigid insulation in the stud cavities and then pegboard over the rigid foam board, worked great and over half the walls got covered for free...

in this picture, there is slate behind the ventless heater...basicly,the whole wall is pegboard.....

I never was too thrilled about displaying a major portion of hand tools for all to see. I had one small 3' x 4' wall area for my daily users, all the remainder were stored in my large work bench drawers and a dedicated tool cabinet for my larger hand held power tools.
Pegboard directly over studs is too flimsy for me and provides little fire protection.

The front of my garage is 100 ft. from the street behind a 6 ft. locked iron fence with four dogs in the yard, including one that goes 100 lbs. (See avatar) My biggest concern with the tools being visible is that I only display what I like the look of, and they get dusty or spider webs if I don't use them every few days.

To me, it's not for the major portion of hand tools. It's for the odds and ends, consumables, placing a few odd pieces close to where they're used, etc. I do have power tools on pegboard though, they don't fit nicely in drawers.

I've found the thicker pegboard (3/16" or 1/4", or whatever it is) is ok over studs, rigidity-wise.
