    My DH built a frame out of pvc pipe for the pegboard to sit on my 8' sewing table. I find the pegboard very handy for keeping my tools organized and within easy reach.

    My husband built a frame to back the peg board and then used anchors to secure it to the wall. There are screws, bolts etc that you could use to go into the concrete walls. I also have a peg board on our concrete walls in the basement. I have all of my rulers on the board in my sewing room and I really love it. I don't think the weight of the peg board and rulers will hold using command hooks.

    If you are going to mount it above your sewing machine, the bottom can rest on your desk to relieve some of the weight if you are worried about the command strips not holding it up. Don't forget the other surfaces in the room. Perhaps you can mount it to the back of a wooden door? Maybe to the side of a wooden fabric shelf? Peg board is super for all your hanging notions. Someone on this board mounted hers to the back of a wooden desk.
