Peg board

Abstract

A peg board may be used to store and/or organize various items. The peg board may include one or more openings sized and configured to receive attachment members. The peg board may also include receiving portions that are sized and configured to receive a portion of an attachment member inserted through the openings. The receiving portions may restrict the rotational movement of the attachment members within the openings. The peg board also may have an elongated, strip-like configuration and that may increase the possible uses and functionality of the peg board.
