Use Slatwall & Gridwall Instead Of Just Regular Pegboards

Gridwall & Slatwall are the garage organization systems of the present, not the past. Many traditional homeowners will just throw up a pegboard and call it a day. If your whole goal is to pin a couple photos and maybe a rubber band or two, then pegboard will work just fine. We would suggest that you leave the pegboard for the kids room or the home office.

The garage is a different environment than from the rest of your home. Often times the temperature is hotter than the rest of the home and more humid. This makes for flimsy and warped pegboards not too long after you put it up. There are more industrial pegboards, but even that type can’t hold up in the long run, due to temperature changes, micro-climate conditions, and even rodents. This can work well in the kitchen for extra pots and pans storage.

If you are searching for the ultimate wall based storage, one that will help you to reach a goal of maximum storage with lasting durability, keeping nearly everything off of your garage floor, than Slatwall & Gridwall is the choice to make.

Let’s take a closer look at Slatwall & Gridwall in order to decide which one is right for you.

Gridwall isn’t as all encompassing as Slatwall because it is normally sectioned off for smaller zones of the garage or home. Gridwall utilizes a horizontal and vertical interlocking “Grid” structure(hence the name) which allows for more customizability. That feature along with the sectioning aesthetic make Gridwall a great choice for folk that love to work around the house, or designers who like to combine form and function into their garage organization.

The attaching accessories for the Gridwall are similar to Slatwall, just that Gridwall also utilizes the vertical structure of different kinds of storage such as ball bags, hats, even plants if you would like. There is something very pleasurable about little vines crawling up your grid towards the watering pail that you have stored by the rest of your gardening equipment, and on its way to the light. Gridwall may end up cheaper than Slatwall for the reason that most people installing it are not covering their entire garage with it.

In conclusion, Slatwall is a premium for covering your entire space in order to maximize your garage organization. Gridwall works well blended into the overall design of your garage because of its sectioning and the overall customizability of it. And pegboard, although it doesn’t work very well in the garage, can find a place in your home office, or kids arts and crafts section of the home.
