Hanging things on metal hangar walls

[dboy4ever]

I'm looking to decorate my hangar. Want to hang things like flags, posters, neon signs, lights, etc.

The walls are exposed corrugated metal with metal studs. I do NOT want to drill any holes. The metal are ferrous so magnets will stick.

What are my best options? Adhesives? Magnets? Looking for all creative ideas.

I built framework of 1x2s and attached pegboard to it.

the framework was made to fit into the spaces without fasteners

Small cheapie Carpenter C-Clamps from Harbor Freight to hang things off of or to clamp on a wood stringer to attach things to.

Magnets all day. I don’t use anything else.

Magnets or Command Strip hooks. Easiest. Plus when your neighbor puts screws into the metal walls, you'll know as the sharp ends face you! Best not to provoke the neighbor by starting to put those screws into the wall facing them first.

Use both of these companies frequently. Neodymium magnet technology has gotten so much better over the years.

Little magnets to multi thousand pound pull monsters. You can screw up all the compasses on your hangar row if you want, or stick your truck to the ceiling.

These magnetic hooks from HF work great for hanging calendars, banners, etc.
