Are my garage walls meant for hanging things on (photo)?

Hi!

When I moved in to this house I noticed that about half of the wall space in the garage has this surface on it:



At first I thought somebody had just recycled Jason's hokey mask, but then I started to think--maybe these holes are meant for some kind of hook to attach to! Maybe a hook that you can use to hang stuff on!

Is this true? Is this some kind of standard stuff-hanging wall material? And do they sell hooks for this at the hardware store or what?

Thanks very much!

peg board, gotta love it, go out to a hardware store and get some pegboard hooks, my garage is full of it too and i love it, never run out of room for more tools

Thanks for replying Flatblack!

*PEGBOARD*! Now that I hear the word I think I've heard of that before, but never encountered it. So pegboard is awesome stuff huh?

I'll ask for the pegboard hooks next time I'm at the store and see what it's all about. I like the idea of hanging all kinds of things up.

garage walls are supposed to be for centfolds.

definately do, and theres more than just regular old hooks too, some are made so you can insert screwdrivers, some to hold hammers, some big ones for extension cords, definately a life saver... the best thing i love about them is that if your wall looks empty.... well its an excuse to buy more tools

When you're ready to use ALL of your wall space check out the Gladiator Garageworks stuff at lowes or sears. GREAT organizational system. I have it in my Garage a.k.a. Man Cave.

Remember they make 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch.

Peg board learn it/love it/ live it.

Those are the simple hooks. Go to Walmart and you can buy packs of specialty hooks. Lowes also carries them.

The Gladiator Garageworks is a great system. When I win the lottery I am going to redo my garage in that system. Lowe's has a good selection of hooks for pegboard.

It's gradually expanding--this pegboard stuff is very convenient!
