I finally got around to doing some better pegboard storage for my shop/shed this weekend. I used to have most of a wall of my 10x12 shop/shed covered in pegboard. One end of the board was holding a lot of unnecessary stuff.
The construction was fairly simple. Basically an 8’x2’ face frame with pegboard doors on 1/2” overlay hinges. The door frames are 3/4”x1” oak with a 1/2" rabbit for a 1/8” pegboard panel. The panels have a 1/2" gap inside so things can be hung on both sides of the door. I spaced the frame and doors to line up with the 24 OC spaced studs as best I could. The studs weren’t exactly spaced even, nor plumb.
I planned to do 2 1/2" wide stile on the face frame, but I didn’t have enough stock that wide. So I had another not so bright idea during construction. Just do it all out of the 3/4"x1-1/2” stock I had on hand, and don’t worry about the studs not being exactly square to the openings. It also made the doors 1” wider. I realized there was a **** good reason I initially designed a wider frame stile when I was putting on the doors. I ended up with a 1/16” clearance between the door and the next hinge. I measured the hinges and calculated for the 7/16” exposed hinge the night before, but I must have forgotten about it while I slept.
I plan to add some shallow shelves to the inside space on one, pegboard back on a couple more and possibly dedicate one to router bit storage.
