Questions & Answers
There are drywall anchors included in the package. For added stability, I'd make sure that at least some of the mounting points hit studs. I ran these across the entire wall of my garage, and almost all of the holes at the far end were missing studs (because I didn't want a gap between the panels). I've had no problems using the included anchors.
The holes are spaced 1" apart on center, as per standard pegboard spacing. The slots are evenly spaced between each other. On the holes, you can mount any standard pegboard accessory; When using Wall Control branded accessories, the slots provide additional stability.
Screws are included in the package. I mounted one directly on the tile in our kitchen (it sits on the bar, so it doesn't have much weight), and I simply screwed it in place in my garage, which has heavy duty wood on the walls.
In this model, the hooks will not work in portrait mode. This product, however, is also available in portrait mode. The holes and slots are spaced apart in such a way that it can only be used in one direction. I hope this has provided you with a satisfactory response to your query.

I ordered two 16H x 32W panels for our laundry room, as well as a half-dozen panels for my workshop (some horizontal, some vertical). In general, I'm very happy with them. They are extremely sturdy and function as intended for hanging tools, the ironing board, our Dyson hand vac, and other items. (I used self-adhesive self-adhesive self-adhesive self-adhesive self-adhesive self-a To mount the Dyson, I used locking hex nuts with nylon centers that perfectly fit the board's spacing. ) I gave the product 5 stars, but I would have given it 4 if I could. 5 if it were possible, due to two issues: first, the hooks have a tendency to come loose, even with the (annoying) double-hook system; second, the hooks have a tendency to come loose, even with the (annoying) double-hook system; third, the hooks have a tendency to come loose, even with Inserting or removing something. I figured out a way to solve the problem: Small oblong magnets for the Wall Control hooks (which are flat), and round magnets for all of my old "legacy" hooks left over from my old masonite wall boards (Insert the magnet underneath the hook, between the mounting pins; This prevents the hook from emerging and pointing downward). The other issue is that these boards are made for 16-inch-center studs. If the studs aren't exactly 16" OC, you'll have to rely on drywall anchors, which are barely strong enough to hold the panels in place, let alone any tools. Fortunately, I was able to align at least four of each panel's six mounting points over studs, with the third pair of holes in drywall serving only to keep the panel snug against the wall. Weight-wise, the other four are the ones who carry the load. The brackets for hanging an LED shop lamp are another feature I like. You can see where I cut a small strip of paneling to fill an odd space between studs. In the photos, you'll notice that I attached the brackets to the ends of a panel, which allows me to use the pre-drilled holes to run screws through. drilled holes in the brackets, then passed through the pre-drilled holes Drilled holes in the panels, then into the studs, for a nice, secure installation. The LED light is perfectly suspended above my bench thanks to the brackets. So, perhaps four? 75 stars. Anyway - You will enjoy them if you give them a chance. In my opinion, they far outperform masonite. Especially if you use rare earth magnets to keep the hooks in place, which I recommend.
I added three shelves, a magnetic cup, and magnetic clips, as well as various wall control hooks. I have plenty of task lighting by placing LED puck lights beneath the shelves. It's a pleasure to sew now that I'm so organized. Everything is in easy reach for me. I still have plenty of room!.
They're durable, and we've used them in a variety of settings. To give them a cool effect, backlight them with led strip lighting.
In my shop, I have wooden pegboard, but I needed something more durable to hold some of my heavier tools. This was exactly what I was looking for. I bought four panels and hung them on my wall with screws. Standard hooks can be used with these. Make certain to purchase the thicker, heavier-duty hooks, as they will last longer. Some of the less expensive thin ones aren't very well attached.
It wasn't pretty, but thanks to the wall plate I installed on the outlet box extension, it's mostly hidden: I had to do something similar to maintain a continuous hanging surface around a wall-mounted cabinet. br>br>One thing to keep in mind is that because of the way the panels are bent, a lot of the rigidity is in the C channel around the edge. If you cut that work around something, the panel will become very floppy, and you'll need to back the cut edge with something else. Regardless of how you cut it (! ), these are great panels, and once you figure out how to use all the different hooks and such with your tools, it's a simple setup:.
Great bulletin boards for your OCD about organization. I like that, unlike Elfa boards, they don't require proprietary hardware and can accept a variety of specialty hooks, big-box pegboard supplies, or even something as simple as a magnetic pencil cup. They appear to be quite sturdy, and they've held up well to my tools. Just make sure you get the right board because the slots must be vertically oriented. The only drawback is that due to the weight of the boards, the corners are prone to being nicked during installation.
I went a little crazy and purchased a slew of wall control units. My garage is made up of a combination of plastic, fiberboard, and Wall Control boards. The Wall Control is by far the best. If you plan on using the slots, the only drawback is that it isn't omnidirectional. They have a variety of configurations to accommodate horizontal and vertical applications, so it's not a big deal. I use standard plastic and metal hooks as well as the Wall Control hook system. It's well-made and has a nice appearance. Red, white, and blue were the colors I chose for mine.
It's great because magnets can be used to mount items that don't fit into hooks. I purchased a horizontal piece that would fit over my workbench and under my cabinets. My only complaint is that the anchors that come with it are junk; if you can't get the stud, toss them and use something better. In fact, horizontal grooves to mount the screw to studs would have been preferable in case they didn't line up with the available space, but this will last the life of the house vs. Like regular pegboards, it needs to be replaced every few years.
