Pegboard

Definition: Pegboard is a rigid board, typically made from wood, fiberboard, or composite materials, featuring a regular array of evenly spaced holes. These holes are designed to accommodate hooks, pegs, or specialized containers, allowing for organized storage and display of handheld tools, hardware, or accessories in workshops, studios, and workspaces.
