Installation Instructions

Follow these steps to securely mount your SKÅDIS peg board to the wall.

Choose Location: Select a wall area free of pipes and electrical wiring. Use a stud finder if possible.
Mark Bracket Positions: Hold the peg board against the wall at desired height. Use a pencil to mark the top two bracket holes through the board's pre-drilled holes. Ensure board is level.
Mount Brackets: If mounting into studs, screw brackets directly into studs using provided screws. If mounting into drywall or plaster, use wall plugs: drill holes at marked points, insert plugs, then screw brackets securely.
Attach Peg Board: Lift the peg board and hook it onto the mounted brackets. Ensure it sits firmly and does not wobble.
Secure Bottom (Optional): For extra stability, especially for heavier loads, use additional screws at the bottom pre-drilled holes into wall studs or with wall plugs.

WARNING! Ensure wall can support the intended load. Always mount into studs or use appropriate wall anchors for drywall.

Mounting the Accessories

SKÅDIS accessories (sold separately) easily attach to the peg board.

Select Hooks/Containers: Choose from hooks, shelves, cups, or clips based on your storage needs.
Insert Hook: Insert the metal hook or accessory arm into the desired hole on the peg board.
Secure: For certain accessories, you may need to twist or click into place. Ensure they are firmly attached before loading.
Arrange: You can rearrange accessories at any time by simply removing and repositioning them.

Tip: Distribute weight evenly across the board. Place heavier items lower and closer to the brackets.

Safety Warnings

To prevent injury or damage, please observe the following:

Secure Mounting: Always mount the board to wall studs or use appropriate anchors for your wall type. Do not mount solely into drywall without anchors.
Weight Limit: Do not exceed the total weight limit of 15 kg. Overloading can cause the board to detach from the wall.
Child Safety: Do not allow children to climb on or hang from the board. Place sharp tools out of children's reach.
Regular Checks: Periodically check that mounting screws are tight and the board is secure.

CAUTION! The manufacturer is not responsible for damage or injury caused by improper installation or overloading.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your SKÅDIS peg board clean and functional:

Cleaning: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals.
Avoid Moisture: This product is not designed for wet environments (e.g., outdoors, showers). Prolonged moisture can warp the board.
Accessory Care: Clean plastic or metal accessories with a damp cloth as needed.

CAUTION! Do not soak or spray the board with water or liquids.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Possible Cause	Solution
Board feels loose or wobbles	Mounting screws not tight; not mounted into studs	Tighten all screws. Remount into wall studs or use heavier-duty wall anchors.
Accessories fall off easily	Wrong hook type; hole worn	Ensure you are using genuine SKÅDIS accessories. Try a different hole on the board.
Board sags in the middle	Weight limit exceeded; insufficient support	Remove some weight. Add an extra bracket or support at the center bottom.
