I want to reorganize my shop this winter and I keep coming back to using pegboard. Mostly because it's a standard that has been around since the 1950's so it is very non-proprietary, IOW I'm not locked into clip hangars made by one manufacturer and there is a lot of variety available for hangars. I want to run 2 whole walls with the stuff about 48 linear feet in total 4 feet high. With 36 inch shelving units under it and a loft shelf suspended from the ceiling above it for bigger stuff. I was going to string a block and tackle and cargo net to make it easy to hoist junk like the lawn mower up to the loft shelf, about 7-8 feet up.
Is there anything else better and as universal as 1/4 inch pegboard available? I want to finally hang all my wood working and otherwise awkward to store tools, and clear some floor space. Any other ideas for shop organizing?
