Make The Most of Your Garage Slat Wall Storage

Garage Finisher Team • June 21, 2021
People's garages often tend to become full of disorganized junk, and that can seriously cut down on the garage's utility value. That's why investing in garage storage solutions, such as slat wall systems, can be such a good idea. With the right garage storage solutions, you can reclaim a lot of floor space and make better use of your garage.

There are plenty of ways that slat wall systems can be utilized. Here are some of our favorite suggestions!

Three Ways to Use Slat Wall Systems to Organize Your Garage

1. Install shelving and baskets

People tend to think of slat walls as being for hanging items, but they can easily hold up shelves, baskets and ball bins as well. Installing a few of these accessories can do wonders for increasing your storage space, while still keeping everything you need close at hand.

2. Use hanging organizers

Another way to make the most of your slat wall is to hang organizers or specialized hooks/bins for each use . This allows you to store a lot more on the wall than just single items. Try making bins for all the little bits and pieces you have lying around, such as nuts, screws, or bolts, so they're organized and in an easily accessible place. With dozens of different accessories available, Garage Finisher can design your slatwall system to fit your lifestyle. 

3. Utilize color-coding

If you're storing a lot of stuff on your slat wall, you want a quick and easy way to organize it. Color-coded labels are perfect since they can be recognized at a long distance. When you're in the middle of a job, you don't want to have to stop and squint at written labels!
