There are two kinds of storage in a garage: the hidden, tucked away in cabinets and drawers, and that which is on display and easily accessible. SlatWall MX storage products are designed as storage and organizational tools, but customers can’t help using them as decorative or aesthetic elements because they look so good. In 1964, Harold E. Graham hand-built a prototype for a slatwall and filed for a U.S. Patent. His idea was to display items efficiently and effectively on a wall without needing a permanent fixture attached to the wall. Most people are familiar with pegboards; SlatWall is the next generation with a completely updated look.

The SlatWall MX allows free horizontal movement of its hooks and accessories, due to its T-slot design. The organizational options are many including simple hooks, bins, baskets, and shelves. What you can do with them is endless. You can hang your bicycles, golf clubs, winter sports equipment, and most household tools and ladders. The flexibility of moving one item to another location in your garage is just a matter of moving the hooks or bins.
Installation is easy if you are a do-it-yourself type of person who is mechanically inclined, if not, a handyman can easily install it all for you. Any garage layout can be created. Panels can be cut to accommodate light switches and electrical outlets by drilling a hole and using a jig saw to cut out your internal shape. Easy-to-follow installation instructions accompany each order.
The most popular SlatWalls are the MDF Laminate and the All Aluminum. The SlatWall MX manufacturing process begins with Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), planed and trued. Then, either melamine or real metals are laminated under high pressure and heat. The product is then milled and routed with T-Grooves. All SlatWall products are proudly made in the USA.
