In short: General contractor Tom Silva demonstrates how to use masonite pegboard to organize your tools. Learn the professional technique for mounting boards to ensure your hooks have enough clearance to function.

The video explores the practical installation of 1/4 inch masonite pegboard, a cost-effective option available at most home centers. Tom Silva explains that the most efficient method is mounting the board directly onto an open stud bay to provide the necessary depth for hooks.

If you lack an open stud bay, the video shows how to create space by mounting scrap wood over existing studs. This prevents the peg hooks from hitting the wall, allowing for a clean, organized workspace.
