      @Milknhoneycreations You can use Gripfill or NoNails that will stick anything to anything.

    You might use a rivet gun to hang the pegboard with. We did that in our shed that is made out of corrugated metal and so far it's been hanging for 10 years now.

    You can screw anything into the plastic wall but would suggest using rubber washers to prevent water from entering through the screw hole. Drill the hole then use nuts and bolts with washers.Then you can mount the pegboard or whatever you wish.

    My first thought was to mount a long board on the wall and then hang the items. It would distribute the weight. Recently I visited my hardware store. I found lots of solutions. I hung a large (heavy) antique mirror over my soft. if it fell on me it would be disastrous.

    There are a few different ways you can hang heavy items on the walls of a plastic shed:


    1. Use plastic anchors: Plastic anchors are small, conical-shaped pieces of plastic that are inserted into the wall and then used to hold screws. To use them, first drill a hole in the wall where you want to hang the item. Then, insert the plastic anchor into the hole and tap it gently with a hammer to secure it in place. Finally, screw the item into the plastic anchor using a screwdriver.
    2. Use adhesive strips: Adhesive strips are strong, double-sided tapes that can be used to hang lightweight to medium-weight items on walls. To use them, simply clean the area of the wall where you want to hang the item, remove the backing from the adhesive strip, and press the item firmly against the wall.
    3. Use plastic hooks: Plastic hooks are small, lightweight hooks that can be used to hang lightweight items on walls. To use them, simply clean the area of the wall where you want to hang the item, remove the backing from the hook, and press the hook firmly against the wall.
    4. Use screws and washers: If the item you want to hang is very heavy, you may need to use screws and washers to secure it to the wall. To do this, first drill a hole in the wall where you want to hang the item. Then, insert a screw into the hole and add a washer to the end of the screw. Finally, hang the item on the screw using a hook or other fastener.


    I hope this helps!
