How to hang an IKEA pegboard without screws, using Command Strips
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- We head to college in two weeks and we will be hanging up several IKEA pegboards to help with dorm room organization. However, our dorm room doesn’t allow residents to put any holes in the wall. I am a huge Command Strip fan! I have learned over the years that you must follow the directions and not rush the process (if you want them to hold).
In this video I will share how I hung the pegboards using Command Strips. These pegboards make great dorm room decor and are very reasonably priced at IKEA. And there are so many accessories that fit into the board to hold all of those dorm room essentials.
See my blog post for photos and written instructions.

This is absolutely BRILLIANT! Thank you for this tip. I don't like punching holes in my walls and I was thinking of getting the Ikea Skadis pegboard system. Subscribed!
Found this video at exactly the right time, spent days searching for ways to use a pegboard without screwing into the wall. You are a natural......so clear and thorough in explaining everything we need to consider. Many thanks, have finally ordered my Ikea pegboards xx
hope it helps
Thank you for this! This is awesome. I don’t have a drill and don’t like that option anyways. Your point about waiting for things to adhere is so clever!
Perfect help...I returned a peg board to Ikea the other day. I wasn't ready to do it yet. But I think this will help me get ready because I want to put one board up in my smaller kitchen to hang pans. Or rather skillets I guess I should say. And I think this will work very well. You do give a good clear explanations, good visuals and I appreciate you not bombarding me with stuff that I don't need to know. Thanks.
This came up on my recommended videos and I just came to flag that if you're using Command strips, please be careful with how much weight you're putting on your SKADIS pegboard. I put two of the smaller pegboards up on different walls with varying items and weights on them (definitely not the 7.2kg the strips say is the maximum) around 6 months ago using a similar method to this. Both have since fallen down. The first fell after about 2 months and actually had the lightest load, and the second went down this weekend. So they lasted a good amount of time, but they ultimately didn't hold for more than a few months, and the second one falling did cause quite a bit of damage to the things I had on the pegboard and the £250 printer which was beneath it! The sound of the second pegboard falling in the middle of the night was also absolutely terrifying!
Can you provide more details on which adhesive is coming loose? Is it the Velcro that holds them together or the adhesive that attaches them to the wall/bar?
What a great idea. I was looking at these pegboards but don't have the resource to install it properly, so these velcro are super. I installed my pictures on the wall and it's great. No holes!!!
I was all set to drill holes when I found this. Thank you!
Thanks! I was shying away from mounting my IKEA pegboards because of the need to drill, but this is a promising solution.
good luck. hope it works for you like it does for me!
This video is actually what I was scouring UA-cam for thank you
Glad it was helpful.
Thank you! I am a massive Command hook fan, so you’ve helped me a lot!
I’m moving into a new apartment with a tiny bedroom that needs some more storage, and this pegboard seemed like a great solution, but we can’t drill or nail anything, so this video was a godsend! Thanks!
Good luck!
Thank you for the video! I can't put nail on my wall but this is a great idea to set a pegboard for my room too!
This video is one of the most important videos on youtube lol it saved my time
Hi thank u very much I was just sorting my craft room and found your video so useful about hanging ikea boards it was so handy specially not drilling and using command strips just good idea welldone
God bless you ❤
Super duper helpful
Used this trick to mount a whiteboard and it worked wonders
Thank youuu
This worked a treat! I’ve had it up for over a month now, no issues. The shelf holds my camera, lenses, hard drive, note books, cables etc.
I was gonna do this but am concerned it will fall off of the wall. How has it been so far? I plan to place my headphones and few other gadgets on it hanging. Will the 3M Tape really hold all that weight?
@@vimalvincent5919 hasn’t come off the wall for me yet. I have my camera and lenses on there, multiple headphones, cable storage, hard drives etc.
@@bumtreq How's it holding up 7 months later?
@@ha231 it’s still holding strong
@@vimalvincent5919 lol don’t do this
Just bought the same size and was wondering how to hang it. Thanks so much for posting this! Very helpful
Leonora Mattin Also, in the video I show 12 pound command strips. We haven’t had any problem with this one. When we did our second one we used 16 pound strips, just in case we wanted to put more weight on it.
My Inspiration Corner Thanks! I’ll get those. I want to put up my board this week.
So very helpful! Thanks for explaining this idea so beautifully and clearly💕
Glad it was helpful
Am moving into college soon and was thinking of doing the same! Thanks for putting out this video :))
So glad I stumbled across this video! Very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
So glad it was helpful.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was about to start drilling into the wall. Never thought about command strips. Duh!
Thank you. I was able to assemble it because of you.
Just the information I needed! Thank you 😁🙏
Thank you so much for this video, it is very helpful!!!! Exactly what i needed with clear instructions xx
Thank you for the clear instructions! 👍🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Great process/tutorial video!!👏🏼👏🏼I'm a big fan of Command Hooks, so I'm happy to see the strips work just as well should I find a need for them.🙋🏻😍💜💕 TFS
I use Command strips for so many things!! Love them!
I see that you added the strips on the bottom "feet" as well, very well done, those picture frame strips are awesome.
We used those Command frame strips to hang just about everything in our daughter’s dorm room. They’re great.
the best instructions on UA-cam! thank you! other videos are high resolution, definition, edited well but poor instructions!
This was super helpful omg!!! thank you so much!
Absolute to mount mine now. Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
Very helpful and nice looking ..thank you
Extremely Helpful, Thank You
Great video, thank you!
just used this technique! so helpful! thank you x
Is it holding up well? I'm considering doing it too because my apartment doesn't allow drilling holes, but I'm concerned about it falling over (I have a lot of glass ink jars that would be disastrous to clean up if it broke)
Very helpful. Thank you so much!!!!
I live in a rental so we can’t hammer in any nails so this was soooooooooooooo helpful thank you sooo much xx
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much you’re so helpful!!! 😍😍
You're so welcome!
Thank you for the tutorial!
This helped a bunch!! Thanks!
So glad it was helpful!
my husband hates drilling holes in our walls and when i saw your demonstration i tried it sticking it to a cupboard door. . so far so good . the command strips hold 5.4 kilos in weight. my husband was so happy the way it has worked out so thank you again for avoiding me asking my hubby to drill more holes.
Please be mindful of what the pegboard will hit when the strips pull apart (Command adhesive handles shear, downward weight only, not forward pulling/peeling weight).
Thank you so much for sharing! Love your clear instructions and useful tips. I’m joining your IKEA/Command strips/Cricut Club ;) This is exactly what I was looking for.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the help!
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative video. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the tip using the painters tape and level to mark the wall. I am very skeptical a loaded peg board will hold with just command strips especially in the horizontal orientation. Command strips are pretty expensive too so I’d like to know how this is holding up/performing for you since this video was made.
I did this with three different peg boards about 3 years ago when this video was uploaded, and mine are still holding up! Granted I try not to keep too much on there. A couple of controllers, a headset, and a few other little knick knacks that hang off little hooks and sit on a little tray.
Yeah, I had the same question. Maybe better safe than sorry and use drill & screws?
great idea
Brilliant vlog, such thorough and clear instructions. Many thanks xx
Glad it was helpful!
New subscriber here. This video was very helpful! TFS!
thanks, it's a helpful video :)
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing
You're a godsend
Thank you!
THANKS VERY HELPFUL 🤲
So helpful, I want the peg boards but can't make holes in my walls. Why have I never thought of this!
I tried, I failed. Everything fell on my printer about 2 weeks later...
That is exactly what I thought the end result would be. These are never going to be sturdy enough to hold the weight and will give in after a while.
I dont have a balance but I can tell you what I put : pen en pencils, small items for desk, 2 pictures and my bullet journal (A5 format)
@@audreydetsaboun6098 how many strips you used? The more the better right?
maybe get few of adhesive hooks..past the hooks strategically..and just hang the board on it
That's my biggest fear when doing this but I just put an entire whiteboard on my wall and it's up there pretty sturdy, I just used a roll of nano adhesive tape, maybe you should try this. I will and will keep you all updated
Very helpful
Glad to hear that
ah thank you i really needed this my walls are terrible and i really wanted pegboards i was losing hope,
I was going to utilize this approach, but didn't want to trust the contact of command strip on the mounting bar since it's not totally flush, so I command stripped plywood to the wall and screwed the pegboard into the plywood.
How is it holding up?? I think im gonna try this because my board just fell using this method
Thank you x how odd this had no clear instructions which I opened today.
Glad it helped!
That is exactly what I need for my bathroom. I would love to see/ read an update. Did the board last till date?Does it also apply to tiles in a humid bathroom?
I have the same question.
Watching this bc I want to get the MICKE add on unit for my desk and I also want to get this pegboard mounted over the whiteboard backing without damaging it with screws.
Isn’t it easier to just put the bar on the wall first , rather than putting it on the peg board, leveling it on the wall, then pulling the peg board off the wall, unscrewing the bar from the peg board and then putting the bar back on
the wall, after you secure the command strips to the wall? Don’t get me wrong, I think you did a great 👍🏽 job. I was just curious to know if it’s easier to just secure the bar to the wall first.
I also noticed your initial application did not appear to be level. if you just mount the bar, you can use a handheld level to level it before you apply it to the wall. For spacing, you can attach it to the panel mark where the bars land on the wall then removes the bars from the panel.
I been wondering if I should buy one but hesitated on it cause I can't drill holes on my wall. Thanks
IF you use the command steps how much weight will it hold? I bought the 30x22 and thought it would come with two brackets so you had options as to how to hang. I wanted to hang it with second options and no bracket to do this. It is the longer bracket. How could I use you idea in my dilemma?
Going to try this! wondering has the pegboard held up and not dropped all these years??
I LOVE this tutorial! I have all of the supplies and I was wondering why I wouldn't start with attaching just the bar before putting the bar on the pegboard. I'm wondering because the pegboard is a little awkward to hold it up.
Please do not use sticky strips for hanging this at all, nail it to the wall as IKEA intended. Picture Hanging Strips will separate from each other and the board will fall as the board with items creates too much forward pulling/peeling weight which Command cannot cope with, ask 3M directly - the number is on the back of the pack and they will tell you NO - don't do it!
@@alexandrawalsh436 boooooooo no fun
It may or may not sit completely flush which may not be a big deal but wouldn't it be stronger if you hung command strip hooks vertically the way they are meant to be used and hook the bar onto the hooks?
thanks!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
So glad it was helpful.
This board will fall down!!! Command strips need to be applied as per the pack instructions which is a maximum of four sets vertically (for shear strength) definately not sideways or as many sets as seen. Strips must be applied to flat surfaces for full adhesive contact board side and wall side to ensure strips will fully connect with each other. The maximum depth of the board can be no deeper/thicker than 2.4 inches/6cm to avoid forward pulling peeling weight which will cause disconnection of the strips from each other. I would not use Command Picture Hanging Strips for this pegboard.
so....do you have any alternative suggestions?
do you think command strips will work?
@@sswanie5 I think she’s saying that command strips will not work at all for this project.
give us another solution then please
Like this. Thanks.
hope it works for you too.
Hi! How is it holding now? Are the velco strips still intact? Thank you!
Any update on if it ever fell or is it still holding strong?
Hi! Will it last though? I mean hanging other things on the pegboard too will it last? Not going to fell? Thanks!
One good feature of Command Strips, each one is rated the weight it will hold. This is extremely important when using to hold the weight of a pegboard along with hangers and items. Also The setups are designed to use vertically and not horizontally
you are right about designed for vertical. With the horizontal bar, that is the approach I tried. Luckily it has still worked for me on many boards!
What do you mean by the setups? The bar on the back?
To solve the vertical/horizontal problem, I wonder if Command HOOKS would be better?
Did you have to buy that bar separately? I don't remember seeing that when I picked up my board.
It's been almost two years now. Did it fall down or is it still holding strong?
4 years later, I'm really curious how it's held up! Have you taken it off? Did it take paint with it? Please let us know!!
Does it still stand strong? Or u have to replace the strips often?
How much weight will it hold before falling off the wall?
Great idea. I love this. Thanks for the tips. A new subscriber to your channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
How has it held up after a year or two? Any updates?
I i figured out how many strips I needed, laid it out on the wall, pressed the match in firmly, gorilla glued the outward strips to the bar. Waited an hour and added the bar. So far so good.
It’s been two months since you wrote this comment. How did your peg board hold up so far?
@@tanyawashington3782 it’s still up! I press on it every once in a while to make sure it’s good though
I also used a heavier weight strip bc I have a larger pegboard FYI, if that helps anyone
it’s been 2 years is it still holding up?
@@teapot837 yes actually
When you remove the 3M, would it peel off your wall paint?
Very useful -thanks a lot ,just find another very practical thing for those hooks on Amazon -hook retainer Holdilock -now hook are not falling out.
Thank you for the advice and information. I will order these today.
Stumbled on this video to look at ideas to do up a rented home. Update after 2 years later?
J'utilise les grands crochets pour y placer les cônes de fil 🧵
Hii. Wondering if still mounted after a year?
is it strong to hang many item on it?
Ermm... As I read through the comments, some people say it might fall off since it is designed to stick vertically. I think stick left and right side vertically could be a good way too.
Hello!
May I know any updates on this Skadis 2 years later? Are the strips still holding up?
I'm also interested in knowing how well it has held up
@@mattmtong I think this will depend on the wall material you stick the 3M strips to and how heavy the things you are going to put on to it.
I stuck one on a matte painted wall and a glossy painted wall.
Base on guess, the one I stuck on the glossy wall was heavier. It fell just a few months later.
The other one is still hanging there.
May I know the weight of the pegboard ... I just brought 40*60cm magnet white board and now just wondering how to hang them on walls without drilling ???does the command strips holds whiteboards as well ???
I've never hung a magnet board. I use the information on the Command strips as a guide for how much weight they can hold. I'm unsure of the weight of the pegboards, but you could look that up on the Ikea website. I had originally looked it up when I did the project.
I thought about using magnets. Are these boards magnetic?
What is the bracket called
I drilled my wall, but it didn't hold :/ I will try this (crying face). thank you!!
tried this earlier today and after a few hours, my pegboard unfortunately fell :(( wondering how I can make this work because I really can’t put holes in my wall
Did you leave it the amount of time directed on the packaging before putting it up on the wall? Also, did you press the bar directly against the wall? You have to take the pegboard back off the bar and then push directly on the bar to the wall. If you just push the pegboard against the wall, the bar doesn’t get enough direct pressure. Those are a couple of things that may be the problem. Others could be that the wall isn’t clean enough, too much weight on the board. But I mostly bet the bar wasn’t pushed directly to the wall. That’s an easy one to miss (and the problem I had when I hung my first one).
Does it hold up over time?
My daughters stayed up during her school year (August-March, ended early with Covid).
I did this because I was so excited to see it could be done without screws and I set it up exactly as you did but the damn command strip sticky side is not sticky at all! I took the paper off and it was just a little tacky but in no way would hold even the board bare. Help!
Is is the Command strip brand? I find that works better than other brands. Also, did you get the 16 pound strips, or even the 12 pound strips? It should be sticky. I would return them/exchange them.
Do you have a heat gun? I've found that helps
Directly from the Command Strip FAQ portion of their website: "Can they be used as vertical or horizontal?"
No. They have to br used vertical as it’s shown in thr video
@@arthurdobbenie4625 on their website it says they can be used horizontal or vertical. But vertical is optimal.
