Never had much problem with them falling out.
. But not putting too much weight on it plays a big part.
The ones I have came with these little cheap plastic retainers, but they suck bad. I was wondering if there was a better version.
I don't have a problem with them while something is hanging on the hook, its when you remove the tool/item that the hook pulls out with it? Mine are on a metal tool chest though not a wooden sheet.
There may be a pegboard type set up above a bench. Been thinking of making a sheet of aluminum pegboard. Seems a long ways off yet.
Yesterday I made some pretty big head way.
Started the day by cutting, painting and installing the soffit boards. I'll have to go back and ventilate them. I used 1/2" plywood. Had a couple sheets left over from a previous project that needed to be used up and gotten rid of. Seemed as good a place as any.
Then I installed three security lights and got them wired in to the outlet circuits. They are automatic versions that turn on and night and off in the day light. (See picture)
After that we trenched in a gas line and a 220v electrical line. Got the gas line hooked to the house and all leak tested. All that remains there is running through the walls and attaching to the furnace. Of course, can't do that yet.
I could however, go ahead with the electrical at some point in the very near future. That would help with up coming projects.
In between all those projects, I finished my electrical outlets. All wired up and installed in the individual boxes. 15 in total. 5 on the back wall, 4 on each side and 2 between the overhead doors.
Today the plan is to finish painting the north wall and at the very least get the trim painted at the very top of the gable ends. If I can accomplish that, I may be able to retire the retarded huge ass ladder.

Got the first coat done on the north wall. Probably do the second coat next weekend. Pretty spent for this weekend.
Sometime this week i'll get some gable end vents so when I'm up on the ladder doing the painting, I can get that knocked out as well.
I think its about time to buy up some insulation and start getting some of the walls stuffed full. At the very least where I don't need any further electrical work. That'd be the entire south wall, west wall and most of the north wall. I still gotta run a 220v cable at the very least, half way down the north wall.
Probably get some corner trim going on this week as well as painting the trim on the eve ends. Feeling like the outside is getting very close to complete.

Dave use these. They basically straddle the hook and go to the holes on either side and keep it snug to the board. Work decently enough.
good idea!
Kert have you thought about running a couple outside recepts/maybe an air chuck in a weatherproof box?
I have one on the front of my shot I use quite a bit, and not having to have a door cracked open while using it is nice.

I hadn't thought about that. I'll have to consider that.
Out side outlets and air are really nice. Especially in the winter months.

Not here in SoCal........I know, no help
Put in a ball valve to turn it off inside. Do not think it will but that would help ease your concerns.
I think i'll do an air outlet but I think i'll skip the electrical outlet.
Last year I had to put a lockable faucet handle on the spigot. We had people using our water with not so much as a "by your leave." Ridiculous!
Tonight I got the wall with the overhead doors all stuffed full of insulation. Time to pick up the first load of 1/2" OSB for the inside. At this point I can side the wall with the doors and at least enough of the ceiling to figure out the overhead doors and door openers.
Tomorrow we should be finishing off the electrical connection to the house. I need to look inside the box on the side of the house and determine whether or not its neutral is bonded to the ground circuit. I'm not sure if the previous electrician new what they were doing and made that disconnect the "Main Panel." I'll have to look in the box inside the house as well and determine how they wired that one as well.
Hard to say how its all done in these older houses. I know a lot of the circuits in this house have been added on and tied into other things. Its very confusing at times.
Next thing I'm trying to figure out and probably won't know till this weekend. The overhead doors require a foot above the door to open properly. I'm sure that's for allowing enough room for the door to come up as it goes around the turn in the track. So, if that's the case, the door and track will basically be one foot higher than the door is tall. My 7' doors would use up about 8' of space when opened. That sucks. Build 10' side walls but you lose so much of your headroom to the garage doors in half of the garage. I want to see if there is a way or some additional track that could be added to make the door open higher and require less head room.

There are door tracks with a "quick flip"short second rail that allows the top panel to tilt in sooner and less clearance is needed..
I just bored a hole big enough for my extention cord to pass thru the rear wall and made a disc with one offset screw to cover the hole when its not needed,rather than install an outlet in my garage..
Beats having to run 200 feet of cord from the front of the garage when you need to run a tool "out back"..
I now have all the parts to put a weatherproof box in,but never got around to it yet..dont need power out back that often..

Felt and did the same thing with my handguns back when I lived up in Ocean View....
3 day thrash on the garage this holiday weekend for me.
Started in on it last night actually.
Last coat of paint on the big north wall is done. Gable end vents on the north wall are done. Corner trim on the main 4 corners are done. Lot of time yet today. I'll knock out a few more items yet today.
