  • That would be the ideal. Out of curiosity what would be your concern about the limits of an exterior varnish on mdf?

    For context:

    My brick shed is a bit damp due to being single corse, no air brick and next doors garage being above the dmp.

    I'm planning out a pegboard on one wall, but the metal ones are incredibly expensive. Unfortunately I haven't seen any MR MDF ones. I don't think the standard hard board ones would last.

    I know the ideal thing would be to sort the cause of the damp, but that's quite involved and not a reasonable use of my time against the various other work that needs doing.

  • I know I'm not answering your question, but what about the IKEA plastic peg board?

    I had thought I'd have to overcome a similar challenge to yours, but in the end we've decided to knock down 2 old outbuildings and replace with something brand new that will be watertight, insulated, etc.

  • Not a bad idea.

    Looking at an area c. 220 x 170cm, so that's about 9 of those... so £135 which I guess is fairly competitive.

    My two concerns with the ikea ones are; 1. Restriction of proprietary fittings. 2. How strong are these?
