Everytime i mention to a customer they should investigate slatwall organization for their garage, I get some really strange looks. What the heck is slatwall and why do i need it. I thought it was time to explain

Slatwall is a building material characterized by horizontal grooves – also known as slats – that come in a variety of forms, ranging from wall panels to freestanding fixtures. They are used in conjunction with attachments like bins and shelves that hook snugly into the slats. .

So why is slatwall one of the most popular store fixtures and displays used by retailers worldwide?

  • Durable – This building material has an impressive life expectancy, is difficult to damage, and can hold heavier tools than other fixtures, holding an average of 75 lbs. per square foot
  • Affordable – With its variety of uses and versatility, slatwall is a great bang for your buck. The basic, no frills slatwall panels are priced fairly low. Higher rated boards with custom finishes will fetch a higher price tag, however;
  • Versatile – There is no single right way to use slatwall. They can be used to hang tools, sporting goods, garden supplies, and much more.
  • User-Friendly – You won’t need your toolbox with slatwall displays. Once you’ve assembled your fixtures and panels, all you have to do is hook on your attachments to start organizing
