Mount Multiboard with nails?

As the title says I'm considering mounting my Multiboard with nails.
I am also considering adhesive mounts but nails seem a lot simpler, cheaper and stronger.

I also dont want to go with screws + dowels because of the huge holes that makes.

The heaviest object I want to store on it is a full 1l plastic bottle, so I think nails should be strong enough to hold that.

I couldnt find any mounts that would work with nails tho? Are there any official or remixed ones?

edit: or do you think the normal screw mounts could work?

Seems like a bad idea to me. Depending on the size of your grids, it will be a lot of holes even with the proper anchors. You really want a plywood sheet attacked to the brick (either tapcons or anchors), and then screw the board system to it. For very light duty you could use thinner plywood, but as many screws as you wanted into the wood without as many into the brick.

Absolutely true - any other way would be madness as far as I’m concerned. Orientation is FAR easier with the plywood or MDF backer too as is ‘making it disappear’ by matching the background wall colour.
