Organizing systems are needed by many people to arrange items in easy-to-access places where they can easily be seen. Slotwall systems are also called slatwall systems and include many types and brands. These may be used inside the house in the pantry or in closets or outside in the garage to organize all of your belongings. These organizers are simple to install and are a do-it-yourself project that anyone can do. Does this Spark an idea?
Features:
Organizing systems are made to be versatile in order to accommodate any and all items that you want to hang on them. The interior systems have wire baskets that you can see through for loose items and shelves that can be hung in sections. There are boxes and shoe organizers made in just the right size and all of your sweaters, baseball caps and sunglasses can be stored by color in containers for ease of coordinating your outfits. The exterior slotwall systems are generally used in the garage and in work areas. These have panels that are attached to the wall and hold shelves, hooks, baskets and cabinets to organize all of your items. These have specialty baskets for basketballs and volleyballs that have an easy front access that is slanted forward to dispense 1 ball at a time. There are baseball bat holders and bicycle hangers. Tool organization is simplified because you can see all of the tools at a glance instead of having to go through a toolbox.
Size:
The standard length of slotwall panels are four to eight feet. The height varies by company but is generally 15 inches tall. These are very lightweight for their length. An 8-foot long piece that is 15 inches tall weighs only about 16 pounds. The PVC composition is very durable and strong even though it is light and easy to work with.
Light Duty:
The light duty slotwalls are generally used inside the home in closets and also in home offices and in stores for display items. Closetmaid has a very good system that is simple to install. It is comprised of pegboard and pegboard hooks. You screw the pegboard to the wall and then add shelves on brackets or hooks to hand items. These may be purchased online or at your local hardware store. Trio Display also carries this type of organizer. They are available online also.
Heavy Duty:
The heavy duty slotwall organizers are manufactured out of PVC panels in a tongue and groove pattern which hides the seams. Exterior panels are made to be waterproof and weather resistant with no cracking, peeling or fading. Entire cabinets with drawers and doors will hang on the heavy duty organizers.

The possibilities are virtually endless due to the mix and matching slotwall system with so many varieties of organization. Homes that have a washer and dryer in the garage use the cabinets on the slotwall to store laundry detergent and bleach and an attached rod will hold coat hangers to hang your clothes when they are warm and fresh out of the dryer. A garage can be transformed into a mud room and you can store your muddy or dirty boots in a hanging bin until you need them next. A section can be dedicated to car cleaning items such as soap, brushes and wax. Gardening sections will include the hoses on hangers and sprinklers on a shelf next to them.
