Mounting spacers for pegboard are expensive, just for little hunks of plastic. I just checked Amazon and saw $9.99 for a dozen and $17.99 for 24 sets with washers and screws. You could do the furring strips as standoffs thing, but that renders a lot of the holes in the pegboard useless.
I recently had occasion to revive a trick I figured out when I set up my current shop: For just $2-$3, a grey PEX riser line makes for perfect spacers with just a simple little jig to cut them to length. You can get over 50 half-inch spacers out of a 30-inch line. I had seen a similar jig for cutting dowels into plugs and just adapted the idea.
Cheers,
Charles
