Wall Control Pegboard 16in x 32in Horizontal Galvanized Metal Pegboard Tool Board Panel

The media could not be loaded. Recently retired and went all out on doing my garage, something I've been needing and wanting to do for quite some time. I knew i wanted to incorporate some pegboard, but already had black as a base color for everything so I went with these galvanized metal pegboards. First off, they look great. Second, they were super easy to install and for their weight, are really sturdy. I bought some heavy duty hangers to use with them and they're perfect.For an added touch, I decided to backlight the pegboard sections with LED lights. Yes, completely overdone but it's pretty awesome.

I ordered 2 of the 16H x 32W panels for our laundry room, and another half dozen panels (some horizontal, some vertical) for my workshop. Overall, I am very pleased with them. They are extremely sturdy and work as intended to hang tools, the ironing board, our Dyson hand vac, etc. (I used self-locking hex nuts with nylon centers to mount the Dyson, which fit the spacing in the board perfectly.) I have given the product 5 stars, but would have given 4.5 if that were possible, because of 2 issues: First, the hooks have a tendency to come loose, even with the (somewhat annoying) double-movement to insert or remove. I came up with a solution to the problem: I use rare earth magnets to retain the hooks in the board. Small oblong magnets for the Wall Control hooks (which are flat), and round magnets for all of my old "legacy" hooks left over from my old masonite wall boards (Insert the magnet underneath the hook, between the mounting pins; that keeps the hook from coming out, and from pointing downward). The other issue is that these boards are designed for studs that are 16 inches on center. If the studs are not spaced exactly 16" OC, then you have to use the drywall anchors, which are barely up to the job of supporting the panels, let alone any tools. Fortunately, I was able to get at least 4 out of the six mounting points for each panel aligned over studs. The 3rd pair of holes are in drywall, but all they really do is hold the panel snug against the wall. The other 4 are really what's carrying the load, weight-wise. You can see where I cut a little strip of paneling to fill an odd space between studs. One other thing I really like is the brackets for hanging an LED shop lamp. Notice in the photos that I attached the brackets at the ends of a panel, which lets me take advantage of running screws through the pre-drilled holes in the brackets, then thru the pre-drilled holes in the panels themselves, and then into the studs. Nice and secure. The brackets do a perfect job of suspending the LED light above my bench. So maybe 4.75 stars. Anyway - try them, you'll like them. They sure beat masonite, IMHO - especially if you use my little trick of rare earth magnets to retain the hooks.

We installed this in the garage, over our workbench, and it looks great. It's very easy to install, very sturdy, and holds a lot. Regular pegboard hooks work with it, too. We put up two of the large panels, and would definitely buy these again if ever needed.

I went a little overboard and bought a bunch of wall control units. I have a mix of plastic, fiberboard and Wall Control boards in my garage. The Wall Control is the best by far. The only downside is that it not omnidirectional if you are going to use the slots. Not a big deal as they have various configurations to accommodate horizontal and vertical applications. I use both the Wall Control hook system hooks and standard plastic and metal hooks. It is very sturdy and looks good. I did mine in red, white and blue.

I love these. They are thick metal well finished. Look good and don't get soft from humidity.

Used this item on the backboard of my gun building table. Very sturdy, and a great price. Being slotted also let's you do more with it with other items sold separately. It was very easy to install, wasn't to heavy and although I'll be purchasing another one, the size does give plenty of room for items and tools.Fast shipping! Will be purchasing again!

Honestly, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about it. And was not sure if I even wanted to buy it. But so glad I did. It’s sturdy and works amazingly well

Used to hang water filters on wall very easy to use and works great, I was able to put everything together on the table and hang on wall.
