PVC Slatwall 8 ft. x 4 ft. White Mini Bundle (10-Piece)

I wanted to evaluate the ProSlat system as I have two large garage projects coming up that are to be covered in a slatwall system. I guess I should have waited a little longer as HomeDepot just dropped the price on this again. There are plusses and minuses to every product and this one is no different. I figured that putting this up in a closet would give me the opportunity to find out what those plusses and minuses were with out dropping $000s. The panels are tough as nails, a nice slick white in color and should be easy to clean. However the color does not go all the way through - it is applied to the surface of the panel. So if you were to get a chip, the underlying burt orange/rust color is going to be pretty apparent. That being said these were very easy to cut with a miter saw (100 tooth 12 in blade) and a jig saw with a metal cutting blade - so no chips. The panels do create a lot of static and everything wants to stick to them. Proslat provides screws to attach the panels that accept a square drive which was a real plus because I could use my long Kreg pocket screw bit to drive the screws in tight inside corners. Downside is they could have provided a few more. They do provide the necessary j-trim to finish the edges of the panels (2-8ft sections) however it would be nice to know you could get more. A visit to the Proslat website show that the trim is available - but only in 4 foot sections. I think it would look pretty sloppy piecing 4 ft sections of trim to finish an 8ft section of wall. The good news is that the j-trim does not appear to be anything more the vinyl j-trim used to finish exposed edges of drywall (3/4inch). You need to look to find the vinyl 3/4 inch drywall trim but it can be had. While I was on the Proslat website, I noticed a lot of stuff was marked "sold out". A call to both sales and customer service at Proslat went unanswered. This is where the red flags really went up. I cannot afford to get into a large project only to find out I cannot get what I need to finish the job. I really wonder if they are going out of business and have sold most of their inventory to Home Depot as a "special buy"? The mini-hook combo kit that was included met most of my needs for hooks - a couple of the larger ones, I did not need. It would be nice if you could buy these separately - same for the plastic bins. The small bins are 10 to a pack and the large bins are 3 to a pack. All the accesories are expensive. It would also be nice to buy the slatwall panels a strip at a time - but no can do. At the end of the day, it is a nice product. And if you plan your project really well, and need all the bits and pieces that are in their accessory "kits" I think you will be fine, and I think you will enjoy the product as many others have. But do your legwork and make sure you can get everything you need - and as little of everything you don't need. Will I use this for the 2 garages coming up - no. Would I use it for another small project? Maybe - depending on the other options available to me.

This looks great! (As a note, I already reviewed this once, but I forgot to upload the image.) My sister and I got these put up in a few hours this afternoon. So far, so good! It looks great, and all my tools are organized now! The panels did seem to have a lot of static cling (lots of dog fur, etc. easily attracted/stuck to them), but I'm hoping that diminishes with time.

Such a great choice, several of my friends and family are checking into purchasing. Planning a large installation buying multiple 32 sq. ft Wall Panels with Mini Hook Combo Kit in White (20 Piece) gave me a great base collection of hooks. Wall Panels were all they were advertised to be, easy installation and a sturdy easy to use system.

I used 6 of these units to create an entire proslat wall. With good prep work prior to installing it came out beautifully.

Easy setup video to follow on Proslat website. Looks clean and great support for all yard tools

70 screws and cheap hard plastic

The wall is high quality. The screws strip easily even with predrilling into the studs.

Open the box before you leave. Parts were missing (no hooks). I found out after I got home. Went back to store to see if there was a 2nd box. There was not. I was told I had to bring the entire order back and another order would have to be made. After 3 trips to the store and a price increase (+16%) that happened I just returned for a refund. This stuff is expensive as it is, add in 3 trips to get it wrong, I wasn't interested in a 4th (or 5th). On the plus side, the actual people in the store were helpful and courteous.

I love to have things organized and good looking too . . .What a great system
