Yes, they make peg board out of hardboard.

Those 2x2x1/8" are the ones I'm using. Very awesome material. It does have

Just something to take into account when you design things.

I think I want some peg board. Does home depot also have the attachments so
I can make some tool holders out of pegboard?
