I hear you but click on the link and look at the photo. You've gotta be able to say this is so much cleaner looking than chucking all of it in a garbage binjellytime wrote: ↑ I never understood why you would use these for a large area. They are so inefficient in regards to space.
You could easily buy a big round garbage bin and put that entire wall in it and it would have the same utility but with a much smaller footprint. That's valuable real estate to be using it for that utility.
This tip is GOLDEN! I have been waiting for this deal for a very long time. (I posted the deal in July and it was sold out before I made my mind to buy it)jellytime wrote: ↑ I never understood why you would use these for a large area. They are so inefficient in regards to space.

Why spend money on a bin when you can spend 0$ and stand them all up in a corner?donduck wrote: ↑ This tip is GOLDEN! I have been waiting for this deal for a very long time. (I posted the deal in July and it was sold out before I made my mind to buy it)
What you said made total sense, what’s the point of having the tools all laid out when you can easily access them with a tall trash bin?
Thanks for saving me $170! Now I need a good deal on bins....
I mean, yes. It does look "nice" and is "cleaner" looking, but that's valuable real estate. You can put up full shelves for storage, to me that is better value.
Haha, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. I like my tall trash bin, it sits in the corner and get's lots of love! I got mine at Canadian tire with a 50x points offer. Can't beat it for the price and space savings.donduck wrote: ↑ This tip is GOLDEN! I have been waiting for this deal for a very long time.

Curious what do you use your wall space in the garage for? You might have a point about not spreading out the tools so much to cover a disproportionate space on the wall.
I’ve got 4 of the 4x8 panels in my garage. They are solid af. I keep my tires on a tire rack that hangs on them. Three bikes are hanging on another panel. The rest of the space I use to hang tool bags, drills, flashlights, various shovels/spades, rakes, gardening tools, camping chairs, weed trimmer, saw, tree pruner, weed puller, beach umbrella, step ladder, trailer hitch, etc.
In terms of securing to the wall, how many screws are you driving in for a single 4x8 panel kit? (I'm renting, don't want to create a gazillion holes haha)ceredon wrote: ↑ I’ve got 4 of the 4x8 panels in my garage. They are solid af. I keep my tires on a tire rack that hangs on them.

It’s been a few years, but I recall one on each stud per slat, so maybe 8? Multiplied by however many slats make up a panel, maybe by 8?
Yup. I called proslat when I wanted to pickup some husky accessories to confirm they’d fit and they said “of course. We make the husky slatwall and accessories.” I assume they still do.
Exactly. There’s nothing that says you can’t have a mix of slats and shelves. Each serves a purpose.Slono wrote: ↑ Remember your garage has 3 walls. You can easily have 2 walls for shelves and one wall with slats. I currently have a the left wall with DIY shelves while the right wall is comprised of a smaller section of DIY shelves and a tool bench with a couple wall mounted garage cabinets to boot. The back wall has nothing and that’s where I’m going to put those slats. It’ll put a big smile on my face every time the garage doors open to display a sweet looking wall.
