Liliana Wells on Dec 07, 2014It really depends on what kind of work you will be doing in the workshop. In the search box above write "workshops" to show what other people have done. One may inspire you. For relatively inexpensive materials, shop Goodwill, Salvation Army and Restore stores in your areas and ask friends and neighbors for leftover materials. The suggestion above is a good one, but pegboard is pricey for my pocketbook. Good luck. I hope you will share your pictures.Helpful Reply

Sherry Fram on Dec 07, 2014I agree with the one wall of pegboard as that makes it customizable to what you need. The rest you can use panels that are pre-made, wood paneling-doesn't have to be the dark ugly kind, or even the metal sheeting used on barn roofs-a friend has it for her back splash in her three son's bathroom. Take a trip to your local farmer's coop or hardware store and think outside the box.Helpful Reply

Buster Evans on Dec 07, 2014Depending on how particular you are about looks, and what you use the workshop for, there are lots of options... you could use cardboard boxes with the outside of the box to the inside of the wall area to where any lettering doesnt show... this can be used as bulletin board/note board/sample board for your projects...you could do one wall in this or all of them. material any type of cloth draped or gathered to add a flare of elegance to a wall ...there is always underlayment board which is plain, smooth and thin... There are all sorts of possibilities but what is feasible for what you are doing in the space and your needs is also a factor. let us know what you decideHelpful Reply

Kelley M on Dec 07, 2014You can always use luan wood to finish them off then use some 1x2s across studs to have places to nail to. For that matter you can use cheap cardboard rolls to finish the walls and put up the nailer boards 1x2s across nailed into studs to give them strength. Cardboard will give you a nice surface you can use as a chalk idea board or can paint for a different look. When painting you need to use a dry brush technique to keep it from buckling. You can also use paper taped or glued onto the cardboard. You might want to put a layer of vapor bearior under the cardboard. Just an idea....Helpful Reply

Bonnie on Dec 08, 2014I like the idea for using flattened cardboard boxes that someone shared; in the past, I have used sheets, shower curtains, and the wide outdoor wicker roll-up screens. Lattice panels work well and if stained or painted look very nice. (Think of the divider walls at Cracker Barrel...)Helpful Reply

Bonnie on Dec 08, 2014Also cedar particle board or plywood panels and pegboard work well. Corrigated aluminum, maybe? Recessed shelving between the studs on interior walls.Helpful Reply

Pat Nolan on Dec 09, 2014I like and use pegboard, but always on top of drywall. Drywall seals and protects the house and offers some noise dampening and fire protection. Just one man's opinion.Helpful Reply

Alice V. Jump on Dec 09, 2014Canvas drop cloths might work nailed or stapled up. They could be painted or left in natural state, I saw this in a garage studio make over.Helpful Reply
