How to Make Pegboard Displays

Pegboard displays are found in hardware stores, hobby shops and other specialist stores. They are used for displaying products such as tools and equipment. Pegboard displays are vertical displays that have 1/8-inch holes for metal hooks to slide into. They make it easy to adjust for different sized products over time. Pegboard can be found at most local hardware stores and lumber yards. It is an inexpensive material that is easy to work with.
