How to install a peg board in rental home?

[Div]

So I am currently planning to get a peg board which weighs quite a lot but I wanted to install it on the wall but the wall again is rented apartment so I want to know what are the ways I can Install it without damaging the wall.

Hi @Div,

What's the total weight of the pegboard and the items you'll be hanging off it? That information will really assist our members in offering helpful suggestions. 

Have a read through this helpful guide on How to hang just about anything. It will give you a good idea of some methods you could employ. However, you'd have to drill into the wall if there is any significant weight to the pegboard and items. Have you considered building some leg system to hold the pegboard at the correct height, like a painting easel?

Hello @Div 

Just to give you a visual idea of what @MitchellMc was talking about, I've drawn up a sample sketch of what your peg board will look like with the "A" frame legs attached. Please have a look and tell us if it will work in your work area.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

I think it’s the standard Bunnings metal pegboard which is around 3 kgs I guess

It’s a pretty good idea but somewhere I’m trying to keep that space empty by not having anything on the floor which is why this could be the last resort kind of a thing but thank you it’s a great idea

Hello @Div

I just recalled how I designed a free-standing wall for another member to hang pictures. I suggest having a look at this discussion - How to build freestanding walls for hanging pictures? by @LeahBlacker. This would hold the pegboard nicely, I suggest adjusting the width so that it is the same width as the pegboard. Being made of timber you can mount the pegboard to the stand with ordinary timber screws.

If you need further assistance, please let me know.
