Garden Pegboard
How cute is this little utility station! I had seen these before but never outside and thought it would be a great addition to my new patio. This whole project is basically drilling holes!
It's hard to see but I measured and penciled a grid onto my 2x4 piece of plywood. The birch usually has a more appealing grain. Each mark is 2 inches from the edge and 3 inches apart.
Using a 1 inch bit, drill your holes into the board.
Its always a good idea to seal a project and since this is going outside I did 4 coats of Polycrylic
I cut my dowel rod into peices to make my pegs. The length will depend on use. Some were long for shelves and some were short for hooks.
I also added these cute wooden hooks I got on Amazon
I used a masonry bit to drill into my brick and hang a french cleat but there are many ways you could choose to hang.
I accessorized and made shelves using scrap 1x4 pieces of wood.
What do you think?
Enjoyed the project?

I really like it for those sunnier climates that don't get a lot of humidity or rain. Here in the PNW, it would have to go indoors. Love the French cleat. Good job!
