1-inch garage grid
Garage pegboard planner
The garage pegboard planner lays out your tool wall on a 1-inch grid right in the browser: drag your real tools onto the board, check each one fits and clears its neighbours, then print a true 1:1 drilling template and a parts list. Size the board to your wall, plan it like a puzzle, and mark the holes once.

Plan your tool wall before you drill
Lay the board out before you touch a drill. Set it to your wall's size in 1-inch holes, drag your real tools onto the grid, and each one snaps to a hole. The planner flags anything that overlaps a neighbour or hangs past the edge while it's still just pixels, so the only holes you drill are the ones you meant to.
1-inch garage grid
Holes on 25.4 mm centres, the universal 1-inch spacing for US hardboard pegboard, so your plan matches a real board hole-for-hole.
Fit & clearance check
Every tool snaps to the grid, and the planner warns you the moment one overlaps a neighbour or runs past the board edge.
1:1 drilling template
Export a true-scale PDF tiled across A4 or Letter, with registration marks and a calibration ruler, then tape it up and mark through the holes.

Frequently asked questions
Will the garage pegboard planner tell me if my tools fit before I drill?
Yes. As you drag each tool onto the board it snaps to the nearest hole, and the planner flags anything that overlaps a neighbour or hangs past the board edge. You catch the clash on screen instead of after the holes are drilled. Fix the layout, then print the template and the wall matches your plan.
What hole spacing does the garage pegboard planner use?
A 1-inch grid: holes on 25.4 mm centres, the universal spacing for US hardboard pegboard. Every tool snaps to those centres, so your plan lines up with a real board hole-for-hole. You set how many holes wide and tall the board is to match your sheet, and the planner keeps everything on the grid.
Can I add my own tools with custom dimensions?
Yes. Add a custom item by typing its width, height, and depth, and the planner places it on the grid like any stock piece, footprint and clearance check included. That's how you plan around the odd cordless drill, a long pry bar, or a shop-built holder that isn't in the catalog yet.
Does it generate a parts and shopping list for my tool wall?
Yes. Every hook, bin, and holder you place lands on a running parts list you can print next to the template, so you buy the right hardware once instead of guessing at the store. Each link opens the product's page, and because the planner runs entirely in your browser, nothing about your layout leaves your device.
Can I print a 1:1 drilling template to mark my wall?
Yes, and it's the whole point. Export a true 1:1 PDF tiled across A4 or Letter sheets, with registration marks to align them and a printed ruler that measures exactly 100 mm at full size. Tape it to the wall, mark through the holes, and drill. Print at 100% / actual size, never fit-to-page, which silently rescales the template.
