    I had the same problem. I used the zip anchors. Make sure the edges at least are scread to a beam. Yes toggle bolts. Adhesive wont work. Pegs hold peg board away from wall so you have space for the hooks.

    You can try using toggle bolts, they have wings that spread out after inserting in the hole for a much better grip on thin stuff. They come in many sizes. If that doesn't work you can always use a good construction adhesive.
