How I built a prop wall and prop rack in my new apartment! This tutorial covers how to build a prop wall or how to build a prop rack using pieces you can get fro most hardware stores. Building a prop rack isn't that hard, but I recommend spending some time planning through how you want it to look and what materials are acceptable for building it. You can also just take a small piece of this to apply on building a prop rack if you're just looking for something smaller. For this prop wall, my partner and I created a scale drawing of the wall we wanted to convert as well as the tools we wanted to put on it to help us lay out what we wanted the final version to look like. After doing some research, we decided that putting up a peg board was going to be the best fit for our needs, so we went down to the local hardware store and picked up 3 panels and LOTS of attachments. We used a smartphone app to figure out where in the wall our studs were and used drywall screws to attach both 4 furring strips (1x2x4ft wood pieces) and the peg boards themselves. We finally attached all the hangars and attachments we thought we'd need and moved around a few elements upon review. All in all, the project cost about $60 and the wall took us about 1.5 hours to build. Got any comments or questions about the construction or how you've built your own walls?
