[Shop-talk] SLATWALL

[Darrell Walker]

Hi Steve,

I put several panels up in my garage, and have been happy with it.  The fixtures are much heavier that the typical peg board stuff, which is nice.

The only thing I did wrong was I attached it to concrete walls, and only bolted it at the top and bottom.  So the center bows out with humidity change, or when heavy loads.  But it hasn’t been bad enough that I’ve gone back to add fasteners.

Mine was unfinished MDF, which I painted white.
