When I first read about that memo here, my SFT and I looked for it--sure enough, a memo about shelf storage had just come out, but it did NOT say anything at all about that. It just said that any spines installed for shelf storage had to be anchored properly to the walls (no just screwing them into plasterboard, basically), and that things had to kept "neat and safe." Granted, the example picture did not show any shelves upside down, but it showed a fixture room that was about two and a half times the size of mine, so of course they wouldn't have needed to store them that way. There was absolutely positively nothing that said you couldn't do it, though, as long as the spines were securely mounted and you kept it safe.
Maybe there was something different in other regions or districts, as that's always possible, but my SFT even ran it up to his DFM to be sure we were okay. :shrug:
If you mean pegs themselves sagging from the weight, not much you can do--but if you meant the pegboard itself sagging, you can order some of the reinforcement bars they use on the battery POG in Electronics. I seem to recall they cost next to nothing when we did it. Alternatively, in a pinch you can just throw up 4' safety bars in the smallest bracket; you'll still get sagging, but it can only come an inch or so before it hits the bar.
