Created an arsenal for my kids nerf collection. It's not prefect, or professional by any means, but it keeps their crap off the floor.

Final product first! I ended up screwing the boards in (I was trying to avoid that, but it didn't seem like there was any other way)

Picked up 3 Sheets of peg board from home Depot for $7 a piece.
The boys decided on black and orange. I was going to outline every weapon with white, but then realized what I was signing myself up for

I had to contract some help, it was just way too much for me to handle on my own

We decided on negative letters (with a little persuasion because it was easier than taping the entire top, and to kids, negative letters sound cooler than just plain old letters)

My contracted help used a little too much Orange, but whatevs

The drafted layout

Removed the tape. It didn't turn out too bad

Not too shabby for a 4 hour project. If they get any more, I'll have to get a few more sheets!

That's awesome! Should be proud of yourself mate.

You should've outlined each weapon, either way it looks awesome!

Looks good, but spray painting in what appears to be a closed garage?

You know what's best about this? The contracted help. Quality Dadding.

Hey hod did you end up mounting that on the wall? I have a nerf collection I wanted to do the same thing with, but worry about just securing

The corners, since some of the guns are kinda heavy

It's not prefect? Well, Mrs. Weasley already had two prefects in the family, I guess we shouldn't expect more...

The mask they have on only protects against dust, you need a ventilator for all the fumes and stuff especially if not painting outdoors!!

To make it even better you should paint the contours of the guns on the board. So you can directly see which belongs where. Also cool effect

The question is will they put them back there when they're done...

That dust mask your kid is using is not for paint. You need to get a particle respirator. The fumes are going through

Finally hit the stage where the toddler won't try to eat the darts. We have almost daily nerf battles. Love it!

My first thought was Joey from Friends and Trent from NIN in a "Supernatural" styled show....... Sometimea my mind minds too much.
