Hi @vng,
A pegboard room divider sounds like a great project! Our resident DIY expert @EricL will be online later this afternoon with some suggestions. We had a similar discussion about a how to install pegboard in a rental where Eric had them check out this discussion how to build freestanding walls for hanging pictures where he breaks down how to make the wall to apply a pegboard to. This could work great as a room divider. Let me also tag members @lcooksey88 and @r23on who also have experience with pegboards to see if they have any advice.
Looking forward to seeing how you go with your project. Please keep us updated with photos.

Hi @vng,
Great project! Looking forward to seeing what you and the rest of the community can come up with.

Hello @vng
I've drawn up a design below that has very minimal cutting. The final design of course will depend on how tall you want the pegboard to be. The pegboard frame is composed of one Porta 42 x 42mm 2.4m DAR Pine Standard & Better on either side of the 1220 x 915mm 4.8mm Pegboard Masonite. The feet are made of Carinya 150 x 150 x 20 x 4mm Zinc Plated Angle Bracket - single.
The general steps are to have the pine timber cut in half at the store. Screw the pine timber to either side of the pegboard and the feet are then attached with screws at the bottom. If you want it taller you'll need to purchase two of the Porta timber and use the 1830 x 1220mm 4.8mm Pegboard Masonite Diagonal. You'll then need to ask the timber yard team member to cut the pine timber to 1830mm. The same assembly procedures apply to the taller pegboard.
If you wish to add a horizontal brace you'll need to get more timber and have the timber cut to the proper width between the two posts. I then suggest screwing the horizontal timber brace to the vertical posts. My only other tip is that if you feel you need larger brackets for the feet, please make sure that they are at least 4mm thick.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hello @vng
The technique I recommended will also work on the Pinnacle 1810 x 540mm Matte Black Metal Pegboard. However, you'll need to use larger angle brackets not less than 200mm due to the extra weight of the metal pegboard.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
