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?- Hide quoted text -

No kids any more, the cabinet run under the pegboard will be about 12
to 16 inches deep also with 48 linear feet of countertop and shelving/
cabinets under the top. So anyone walking by will be a good 16 inches
away from the pegwall. The loft shelf will protrude 24 to 32 inches
away from the wall but be 7.5 feet above floor so you can stand under
it, I will probably put lights on bottom side of loft shelf. Pegboard
will form the "back splash" so to speak 48 inches high between the
base cabinets countertop and the loft shelf bottom. Loft shelf will
sit on top of the pegboard furring and lag bolted to the wall studs,
with outer edge of loft shelf suspended from ceiling joists with
either angle iron or just carriage-bolted studs.
