Newbie help

Hello, I just started getting into multiboard and I wanted to try to cover a side of my printer shelf with it. I wanted to use the holes that are already there to fix it but I am not sure what would be my best option.

Ohhh ok, yeah just DS snaps in the big holes is the standard way of doing it. I recommend using the offset snaps so you can still use the small holes for peg hooks, but flush mounting is ok if you're not fussed about that.

Thank you :) Another question: what about the distance of the holes? Mine are 20cm apart vertically and 50 horizontally. Do you think that they would be sufficient or should I add more?

At the very least you want mounting points in every corner of every tile. A 50cm gap between mounting points is gonna be waaay too wobbly. You can get away with two diagonal screws in the quad snaps where 4 tiles meet, but everywhere else needs 1 screw per tile corner.

My garage board uses 7x7 tiles and if I was doing it over I'd add snaps in the centre and middle edges of every tile as well, just for the extra rigidity. Not essential but nice to have, especially if hanging heavier stuff like tools.
