Default Shop organizing... (pegboard)?

I want to reorganize my shop this winter and I keep coming back to
using pegboard. Mostly because it's a standard that has been around
since the 1950's so it is very non-proprietary, IOW I'm not locked
into clip hangars made by one manufacturer and there is a lot of
variety available for hangars. I want to run 2 whole walls with the
stuff about 48 linear feet in total 4 feet high. With 36 inch
shelving units under it and a loft shelf suspended from the ceiling
above it for bigger stuff. I was going to string a block and tackle
and cargo net to make it easy to hoist junk like the lawn mower up to
the loft shelf, about 7-8 feet up.

Is there anything else better and as universal as 1/4 inch pegboard
available? I want to finally hang all my wood working and otherwise
awkward to store tools, and clear some floor space. Any other ideas
for shop organizing?



Pegboard is great, but are there any little kids around who might run right
into a peg at eye level?
