So I'm having some drama's sorting my shed out and finding tools, its gotten to the point that I cant get much done on my projects.

I have 2 bays of long span shelving that I've set up so there's 2 work benches on them, I want to add some pegboard to the back and uprights of the main bench but I'm not really sure how to.

Here's some pictures of my setup, I would appreciate any idea's on how to attach pegboard to this.

Use machine screws to attach to punched holes in the blue vertical frames?

I'm assuming you want a "backplane" of pegboard. I would stiffen it some with some 1x1s, ripped out of a 1x4 or a 1x6.

That sounds like a plan, I better go check out what the local hardware has to mount this up.

I'm actually shooting for 3 walls of pegboard, along the back and along either upright frame to maximise storage. Unfortunately I don't have a saw bench so that might be a little hard but a neighbour might have the gear if I'm nice to him:)

I would through bolt some 2x4's where your vertical seams in the peg board will be and then screw to them.
Do get the thick, white, peg board.
It is called "garage panels" up here.

LIke kbs mentions, I'd do a frame work of wood and mount the pegboard to that. I used some 2x2 mounted to the walls to secure my pegboard too in my garage.
