My sewing area is in the basement and I just had to have some pegboard. My DH took strips of wood, pretty sure they were 1X2's, cut them about 4 in smaller than the width of the pegboard and used cement glue to stick them on. The glue we had you used a chalk gun with. He used two boards, 5 in from the top and bottom. Then you screw the pegboard into them. Works great and much easier than drilling into cement!
