I've got ugly pegboard wall in my dungeon studio and want to cover it. I have 5 fishtanks in front of one wall so cannot paint it without moving them. Which I really don't want to do! Also there are a few pipes and beams in the way that I would need to maneuver around by cutting to shape. I like the look of the Lauhala. Can it be stapled direct to the pegboard or is it too thick? I was thinking that I could slide it behind the tanks then tack it to the pegboard. Is that do-able or am I dreaming?
Painting other sections later today including the whitewashed at least a hundred times but peeling rock foundation and brick wall.
The measurements on the fishtank wall are 7 ft 6 inch high by 13 ft 5 inches. The wall that I want to cover behind the tanks (the base of the tank the top of the bureaus that they are on to the ceiling)is 4 ft by 13 ft. 5 inches so if it comes in 4 ft rolls that seems ideal. That would leave another section to cover approximate 4x4ft behind my frog tanks.

Update... just discovered a stash of grasscloth in the attic so might attempt some wallpapering coverups.
:)

Hmmm... decided to gluestick the grasscloth to the pegboard instead of wallpaper paste and so far so good, no mess, no smell, non toxic. Of course it all may fall off in a week but I figured it was worth a shot. I tacked the top edge with staples and worked my way down. Looks fantastic!
