Like my wall hanging? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 09-24-2009, 09:49 PM

I got this neat hanging board from a store that went out of business. Ive decided to do one side of my shop with it. I was going to use peg board on the other half of that wall, but I really like this stuff and I think I have enough. Should be finished this weekend.

Looks good! Like the HEMI covers also.

Nice job, I like the "mirrors" that you hung up there.

68shortstep · 09-25-2009, 10:19 AM

Good Stuff & good use of a cheap find !!!

That product's sold under the brand name: "Slatwall." Very expensive when new. Commonly used in ladies' dress shops, department stores, etc. Lotsa hangers & accessories for it, & VERY strong for mounting heavy items to it.

My wife used it years ago when we had a retail sewing / embroidery store.

Should be plenty of it available out there, given the state of the economy now, with lotsa small retail shops folding up, sadly.

I worked 7 1/2 yrs for a manufacturer of slatwall type displays. I can't remember the load rating but with extruded aluminum inserts you can use longer arms and really load it up with multiple items. I would suggest anything heavy needs inserts or wider clips on the arms to spread the load.

I really like the clean look and strength of slatwall compared to pegboard. Awesome job on the shop.

It came with a bunch of hooks. Pretty heavy duty ones and way too long. I cut down a bunch of em. Nothing on the wall is very heavy...the doors are just shells, and the barn doors are super light. I was a little nervous at first...lol. I was afraid to open the door the next morning.

Yeah, no joke!! Really nice way to store parts!! Great idea.

72CST4x4 · 09-25-2009, 08:56 PM

Awesome...can't wait to see the rest of the Burb!

71swb4x4 · 09-25-2009, 09:05 PM

I hope you didn't dismantel that burb just so you have something to hang on your new walls.

westofb · 09-25-2009, 09:16 PM

What is that dash? Looks kind on like a 59 or 60 Impala, but hard to tell from the angle it is sitting at in the picture.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-25-2009, 09:18 PM

Very cool way to hang fresh parts..

jholley · 09-25-2009, 10:23 PM

I like it.

my67chevytruck · 09-26-2009, 12:03 AM

ClifBlazer · 10-04-2009, 05:10 PM

the dash switch is something I want to see more of do you know of a thread with this in it thanks clifblazer

LONGHAIR · 10-04-2009, 06:37 PM

Slatwall is some pretty tuff stuff. I have hung quite a bit of it over the years. Here is one corner of a local Golf Club's Pro Shop. I don't have pics of everything, but most of the cooler or bigger stuff gets at least a few shots.
I am usually opposed to the countertop being the same color as the cabinets, but in this case, it's a retail store....so you can hardly see the top.

subtle71 · 10-04-2009, 06:37 PM

Not only does it look really cool, now you don't have to ask "now where did I put that...?"

Botietruck · 10-04-2009, 08:38 PM

CG, That looks great!

72BlckButy · 10-04-2009, 09:58 PM

Loving the wall accents there CG.
