How much space do you need behind pegboard?
about 1/2 in.
Pegboard needs about 1/2 in. of ‘standoff’ space behind it so the hooks can be inserted. Plastic and metal pegboard panels have this space built in, created by the L-shape flanges at the edges.
How do you install a kitchen pegboard?
Enlist a friend to hold the pegboard in place while you drill four holes (one in each corner near the brass screw) through the pegboard and plank and into the wall. Put anchors into the wall. Once the holes are drilled, move the pegboard out of the way and push one anchor into each of the four holes. Hang the pegboard.

Can I make my own pegboard?
Making it was actually surprisingly easy and you don’t need many supplies or tools to make one of your own.
How do you make pegboard look good?
Frame it! Building a frame is a great way to give a finished look to the edges so your pegboard looks more polished. If you aren’t into building your own, you can also have a custom frame built for it at a framing shop or buy as large a frame as you can find and then cut your pegboard to that size.
Can pegboard be painted?
When painting pegboard, we would recommend using a paint gun (or spray paint) over rollers. When using rollers, it will be much easier to get the pegboard holes clogged up, which makes it harder to fill your board with all your pegboard accessories once it’s painted.
