PVC and pegboard desk/workbench

Step 9 Step 6: Lashing the pegboard to the frame

Once everything is dry, it's time to lash the pegboard to the frame. I found it easiest to set the frame on it's side and start at the top. I didn't measure the length of cord that I used for each side or really come up with much of a plan for this step, so you may be better off coming up with your own method.

I started off by finding the midpoint of my 550 cord and making a loop through the center-most hole in the edge of the pegboard. Then, it's just the meticulous process of looping the cord around the frame and through the next hole, over and over again. The best way to find the approximate length you'll need is (once you have the first side hung) to measure the distance needed to go from each hole around the frame and to the next hole, then multiply it by how many holes there are. I started by guestimating the length for the first edge and lacing it by standing it up as depicted below.

An alternative method I thought of after the fact was to use drywall screws to screw the pegboard directly to the top. Oh well, this way looks kinda cool.

On the backboard, I used the pre-drilled angle iron as a support for the bottom edge. I bolted it to the pegboard in 4 places.

Well, you should be done now. I'd appreciate any feedback (sustains, improves).
