Cousin has a masonite pegboard and wants it fixed to brick wall.
She says she has wooden studs but not sure I would trust them.
1. Liquid nail studs to brick wall,screw peg board to it.
or
2. Drill wall and use masonry anchors and screw pegboard to it.
Not sure what see wants to hang off it,but insisted on using this pegboard,and from the poor photo,I cannot tell how good the stud is,if it is a stud at all.She is a pensioner and a bit vague sometimes when it comes things like this.
She is budget conscious, but I want strength.
Thank you
Hi @Camoflauge
Both methods of fixing the timber to the wall are great But for a pensioner using liquid nails will be a whole lot easier.
Liquide nails the peg board to the studs too if you want.
Both methods are very strong . The timber stud in the photo look perfect.
You will need a top stud and a bottom stud then you can screw and or glue the peg board to the timber.
Pegboard needs studs to hold it off the wall as the peg board hooks etc need space behind the peg board fit into.
Very large 1meter plus peg boards needs a middle stud so it dosnt bow inwards.
Where the studs are the peg board hooks wont go through and hook in properly,
Jewelleryrescue,
If worse comes to worse,I can buy new pine studs.As she has sent me a poor photo,I am not sure of wall,pegboard and stud size yet.
Will see what happens.
Thank you
hi @Camoflauge
Pine batten 42mm by 35mm is plently big enough Nice and light weight easy to glue on wall.
Smaller lengths avaliable

Am gonna measure it first,check the studs out and may go totally hard core and coachbolt the studs or buy another one.
Hi @Camoflauge
when fixing those timbers @Jewelleryrescue recommended, use these fasteners which are my go-to for most wall fastening applications. Easy to use and have great weight holding specs.
