Finishing garage pegboard question?

[brian s]

Unfinished garage. I just stapled insulation and added electrical.

Can pegboard be attached w/o drywall been behind it? I have about 30' wall I would like to have 24' of pegboard.

Thanks M

I've done it. Worked fine. I finished it with a good grade of paint. I used white to brighten the garage.

Would kraft faced insulation be ok?

yes. my preference is to use 1/4" pegboard not the 1/8" pegboard. much sturdier and less flex between studs.

I had the same situation, first in a metal building then in an unfinished garage.

I used 1/4" TEMPERED 4'x8' pegboard and it was stiff enough that there was no flexing - the spacing in the metal building was the full width (8') but I mounted the pegboard on 2"x2" frame with a couple of 2"x2" vertical pieces. In addition to spacing the pegboard away from the wall, it stiffened it as well.

I just moved the whole unit from the metal building to the unfinished garage - still works fine.

I did the same thing with the thick board that is white in color. Really made it brighter in the garage.
