Tool Wall

Do you waste all your DIY time looking for your tools? If so, this easy-to-make tool wall could be the answer. It's well organised and even looks good. Actually, almost too good for the basement or the hobby room...

Difficulty Level Original & quick

Duration 45

We need:

4 poplar plywood panels: 20 x 86 x 1.2 cm, 71 x 31 x 1.2 cm, 28 x 52 x 1.2 cm and 40 x 52 x 1.2 cm

a tool holder

hammer

nails

scissors

pencil

varnish in different shades of turquoise

paint roller

undercoat paint

alcohol- or silicone-free glass cleaner

tesa® Powerbond ULTRA STRONG

How we do it:

Collect all items and let's start!

Paint the wood panels on both sides, using an undercoat as a base layer.

Evenly distribute the tools and holders on the panels and slightly mark their positions with a pencil.

Place nails where you want to hang tools.

Clean the tool holder with alcohol- or silicone-free glass cleaner then apply tesa Powerbond® ULTRA STRONG on the reverse.

Press firmly for five seconds.

Remove protective films.

Press firmly for five seconds.

Place the boards against the wall and mark their desired position with a pencil. The panels should fixed 3 cm apart from one another.

Once the boards are complete, remove any dust from the wall where you're planning to mount them.

Alternately attach five tesa Powerbond® ULTRA STRONG strips – in full length and in approx. 20 cm strips – vertically on the wall and press firmly for five seconds.

Remove protective films.

Press the boards on the wall holding for five seconds.
